Not Y2K, it's even worse then that!

So ten Numb is a great example of a ship that has a great pilot ability but due to both a high base cost and a need for upgrades to make his ability come into fruition, how does one build a list around a high cost ship that can be easily taken out by focus fire?

The answer: control of course! The problem with previous control list however is the limited reach they can cover, tacticians only work at R2 and stresshog gets most of its usage at close range.

Enter: The K wing. With advance slam, Conner nets, and ion bombs coming in this set a k wing can now fly around the field wreaking havoc, with advanced slam offering plenty of choices of where to rain ions and totally screw over the enemy.

Here is the list

Y - Ten - K (100)

Ten Numb — B-Wing 31

Veteran Instincts 1

Advanced Sensors 3

"Mangler" Cannon 4

Tactician 2

B-Wing/E2 1

Ship Total: 42

Warden Squadron Pilot — K-Wing 23

Extra Munitions 2

Conner Net 4

Ion Bombs 2

Advanced SLAM 2

Ship Total: 33

Gold Squadron Pilot — Y-Wing 18

Ion Cannon Turret 5

R3-A2 2

BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0

Ship Total: 25

To start we have Ten numb coming in at PS10 to help keep enemies from outmaneuvering him, and advanced sensors to ensure he gets his actions and can BR to keep enemies in his sights/attempt to dodge some arcs. Mangler cannon to nearly guarantee that sweet crit gets through. Because of the control nature of the build, tactician seemed like an obvious choice here, but I feel these points could be moved if needed.

Next comes stresshog, a staple for any rebel control list. He draws enough hate himself generally ten numb can usually survive to later rounds. A very fun ship indeed that can shut down plenty of lists by himself.

Lastly the new guy, the K wing. He has the awesome nature of being an extremely elusive bomber, which can't be said about any other bomber because of slam. Flying a K wig is extremely fun, just getting to fly circles around people is wonderful, and being able to drop bombs everywhere is just a fun. I kinda already explained this ship so I'll leave it at that.

So if you read this far thanks. Now why would you fly ten numb instead of someone like corran horn? Well simply put its just more fun. Try the list out, and if there are any changes you think may be good let me know!

Gasp!
It's 5 times the nothing!

Only thing it's been flown against really are a couple matches against some combinations of khyrax and hounds tooth, but the list really is enjoyable. I guess trying to name it after a sham apocalypse event wasn't the best idea haha

a thought: drop the tact from ten numb...hes gonna get targeted early and burned down. then drop AS to VI withthe six points beef warden up with a TLT

sorry left off the part about dropping ion bombs as well. with conner net they are a bit redundant

Flew this combo twice last night losing both games vs a Vader, Punisher and shuttle squad. With Papa Palpatine on the shuttle changing a die and Vader adding crits to attacks they both proved to be a pita. I did kill Vader by dropping a CN in front of him which was pretty cool. The other high point was destroying a full health shuttle without firing a shot at it. In the second game I dropped tactician and moved the bombs to the Y-wing. I dropped one in front of the shuttle as it was slow rolling. My opponent tried boosting out of range and failed. That left him too close to the board edge to make the turn. The big base ships are deceptively fast.

I like this build but I need more practice with it. The Punisher with cluster missiles is scary but my opponent had lousy dice rolls. Numb was less effective the second game when Vader took VI. This was also the first time I flew the Stress Hog. What a hoot!

Yeah The big thing with Ten is he kinda needs to move last otherwise it is hard for him to get shots in. I can see why the build is less effective on fat ships tho takes awhile to really start getting damage through. the stresshog and k wing are super fun ships to fly him with though

I wonder how two As would fair in place of Numb? I think I'll try that the next time. Get a couple of 'Scooters' running around to stir things up.
