Do I need two K-Wings?

By Okapi, in X-Wing

I'm considering picking up a second one, partly for the cards (could use more turrets, munitions and connors) and partly because, eh, my Feldherr tray takes two of them. But would I ever use two at the same time? Is there a decent two K list?

ner

trust me, I tried :P

you only need 2 if you're awesome

I was rolling around with Miranda (tlt, c3po), Warden (tlt, conner, munis, a-slam), Gold (tlt, r4-d6) and it was doing really well, surprisingly, against the popular low-number meta ship builds until they got stone-walled by aggressors and **** green dice

against multiple ships, the inefficiency of the Warden becomes a liability as the power of the conner net becomes less significant without a single, high-value target to eviscerate

the power of the Warden squadron doesn't come from TLT, but almost entirely from mines and int agent (if you can afford it) so it's not a terribly great fit for the above list. If you could somehow engineer a list that takes advantage of both TLT miranda and an int agent warden, you'll have a good 2 K list.

Only for the templates really.

Which makes me sad as I've got two of them and only see using both in Epic games.

we'll figure out something eventually, I'm sure :P

I love Ks enough to want to fly 2 anyway, it's just hard finding ships to work with two of them that aren't TLT Ys. The Ks are just too inefficient and too maneuverable to be followed by anything else

No, you only need one.

Sadly you need 2 to get four TLTs and 2 conners net templates for use with munitions upgrade. i have 1 and feel the need for more

Need? No. No one actually needs any of this rubbish.

Want? Hell yes. I'd love to bring several of them to my next Rebel Epic battle. It'd be awesome.

That said, I did buy two of them. Mostly because for me, only buying one of any small ships seems silly... and because that's how I've done every wave.

4 TLTs don't be THAT GUY. And there will be an extra Conner net in ghost expansion, so 1 is enough.

3 with TLT and RecSpec sounds like a lot of fun though...

Not for the K-Wing itself- yet.

I would only pick up two if I wasn't prepared to wait for the ghost.

I'm almost tempted to try two K-Wings with Flechette Torpedos, Ion Pulse Missile and Extra Munitions, and fly them with Eaden Vrill with a Recon Specialist. Even have five points left. Maybe a couple of Tacticians and an initiative bid to SLAM past any title Thugs and Blues that manage to get in arc?

....assuming you actually want to buy the Ghost, that is.

I ran 2 in a tournament a few weeks back and I though it was an effective list. I went 3-0 with it and won 1st place.

Flew Miranda w/TLT, Warden with bombs and Farlander in a B, and enjoyed flying it. I think as long as money isn't too tight, for the extra cards, tokens and a ship that well maybe not super competitive at 2 in a list can still make for a fun list to fly... $20 isn't that much money. I know I'd say I got my money out of it.

In one game that tournament it was my 2 K's vs 2 other K's and Wedge. By the end of the game there was 4 conner nets, 2 prox mines and 2 cluster mines on the table. Had everyone watching us to see who was going to be the first to fly into something. Amazingly enough neither did.

You need 4 K-Wings OP.

If you want 4 copies of TLT and 2 copies of Conner Net! I definitely recommend getting 2 for you WILL want multiples of those cards, imp. There are also probably a few good squads with 2 K Wings in them, I just haven't seen them explored much. The K Wing is a pretty neat ship to actually fly.

Have you guys been playing enough 2 K Wing lists to really feel that 2 K Wings in one list isn't competitive? On paper some lists don't look great, but on the table, these ships pull some neat tricks.

yes

exclusively

Miranda is a goddamn monster, the Warden not so much when it has to pull the weight of a ship with red dice

for example,

Warden (int agent, conners, munis, a-slam, 2 points) is escorted by 3 bsps. He can do whatever the hell he wants because the Bs will pick up the dice slack, and he will go on to win you the game.

Miranda + Warden + Goldie all with Tlts, though? Poor Warden can't get **** done unless there's something valuable to conner (and when he does, he can't shoot!). The list has done terrifically against 2/3 ship builds, poorly against anything more because the Warden turns into a liability. Miranda can single handedly win the game, usually, but it's generally not thanks to the less efficient TLT K-wing.

the freer your non-Miranda K-wing is (i.e, the less shackled he is by the need to throw dice), the happier he'll be

fickle, is it possible for you to have one post without swearing? there could be some older kids on here, or some who are offended by profanity.

Oh no the D word, surely that will ruin the children...

Let me break this to you any kid over 12 is already swearing like a sailor just not around adults because you'll freak out.

Kids won't learn swear words here they learnt them from older kids and siblings in school or in clubs just like I did in the 80's.

There's so much worse stuff online to worry about swearing should be the least of your fraking worries.

I did ok with:

2x Warden + Extra Munitions + Prox Mines + Conner Net + A.SLAM + Int Agent

1x Red Squadron with AT + Lone Wolf

Vs. high PS/damage ships though it's not gonna be marvelous.

A 2nd Kwing pack is definitely nice to have, but mostly for additional TLTs (not just 4 TLT spam but also Kwing+ 2 TLT) and the extra Connor Net token.

2 Kwing lists, such as 2 wardens loaded with bombs has potential, but I don't know. I just see it getting eaten alive by TLT spam.

2x for 2x Conner's seems like a thing that would be wise.

I needed 4 because never know when I will want to play a squad of them in epic.

Some has said for the Templates and cards only. I got two for Epic. Not sure if I'd always field both but having two in flanking positions is nice. Standard death match maybe one unless you're real good.
