Fighting the four Horsemen

By Hexdot, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This weekend we will play a scenario featuring Boba, Bossk and twin brobots ( 200 pts ) vs Fat Han and his friends. Very simple, pure dogfight. Probably Dash will fly with his Outrider but... what can punish the four Bounty Hunters?. Han + Dash + 100 pts of small ships

Boba and Bossk will be quite easy to take down with Han and Dash as they have little damage mitigation and only 1/2 AGI. So, for 100 points, what goes good enough to destroy 2 brobots? Y Wings......

As this looks like a "theme" event of smugglers (non-rebellion) characters, here is how I would build 200 points....

Han Solo (59)

-Determination

-Falcon Title

-Engine

-Chewie

-Lando

Dash Rendar (54)

-Marksmanship

-HLC

-Kyle Katarn

-Outrider Title

-Experimental Interface

Gold Y Wing (31)

-Extra Munitions

-Bomb Loadout (Cluster Mines)

-TLT

-R2 Astromech

Gold Squadron Y Wing (26)

-BTL Title

-R3-A2

-TLT

Gold Squadron Y Wing

-R2 Astromech

-TLT

About the list: If you are given flexibility with crew choices other than what is listed, go for it (for example, on Han add C-3P0 and Gunner). Dash, however, is how I love to run it. You get the free focus, target lock/barrel roll AND the ability to Marksmanship and get crits in with HLC.

One Y Wing is your basic TLT Y Wing, just there to help cover other ships. The 2nd is the stress-hog. Great fun. Finally you have a TLT Y Wing with cluster mines. The truth is you could put just about any bomb/torpedo there. I like cluster mines because they discourage your enemy from following you. However, connon nets are just as painful to hit, but require a bit more skill to place..

comes in at 99

use proto to block Poe and horn for sick damage

BB-8 BR, trigger PTL (action) Stress, Green move, Action.

I can't agree with Robots vs Ywings....

Just take a look --> Agressor + Sensor Jammer + Autothrusters + 3 green dice.... --> it's best Ywing counter in whole game.

Try this one mate, I really love those ships as they are really powerful as a team...

4 dangerous blockers - 5 dice Range 1 attacks are scarry for all ships. With their PS1, they can move and block enemy ship + spam Proton Rockets. This is great.

2 Great turret ships. Cheewie is really tough hitting in this configuration as well as quite nice in defence with 2 evades per turn. Outrider is 4 dice turret ship with brilliant movement setup.

Pure fun for me :)

Thanks a lot. We decided to NOT play the Episode 7 stuff. Perhaps a mix of Y wings firing TLT and cheap As. More fun that 4 Blue B plus FCS

if you don't like my list above and you like Ywings in the same time...

take 8x Ywing with TLT and R2s .... but you can lose a friend after this game :P
