Poor Mans Falcon (local tournament)

By Varred, in X-Wing Squad Lists

What do u all think of this list?

Han Solo

Yt1300

Predator

Gunner

Lando Calrissian

Engine Upgrade

Falcon Millenium

Poe Dameron

X-Wing T70

BB-8

PTL

Autothursters

I don't have access to the C3PO crew by any means.

I don't know how competitive the meta is cause i have never been to a tournament in this FLGS before and most people i know that go to the other FLGS don't play X wing.

Please any comments and criticism on this list appreciated. Tournament is tommorow so fast replies are very welcome

Cheers

Why use Lando and millenium title?, you only have 1 action so you can only use one per turn and you will also wanna use boost sometimes . I also don't think lando is wort his 3 points in general.

I also found chewbacca as a decent replacement for C3PO, I even won a regionals with it. It will not give you as many extra hp but it can save you from a really nasty crit like damaged engine.

Otherwise it looks good, I would swap lando for luke. He is worth every point.

You are wasting between 4 and 7 points per turn depending on what action you take. I would replace gunner and Lando with Luke. Do you have R5-P9? I feel that droid with Predator instead of PTL BB8 gives you better damage output, which is needed in a 2 ship build.

My friend is fond of using Lando as a crew member and it typically seems to work out well for him. It's a gamble and comes down to the dice but I like him. Admittedly, we just play with our friends. We're not in tournaments or anything.

I thought of this load out and think it has an interesting interaction.

Han Solo - millennium falcon

Lando, Nien Nunb crew with Experimental Interface.

Up to 3 evades possible.

Can pair with Lt Blount and wingman to assist in removing stress but Nien Nunb adds more green maneuvers

So. I came 1-3 at this tournament.

First off it was my first.

Second of all, i must learn hella lot things bout flying.

Thirdly, Lando made his points worth. He was amazing giving me 2 evades every 4 uses. But thanks to dice gods for that :P

I agree that Lando and Title somehow gets in the way of each other.

Now BB-8 with PTL is amazing. Pure amazeballs. I was able to outmanouver two a-wings at once being the less seasoned player than my adversary. Although he ultimately won.

Was a fun tournament nontheless and i think i like this list.

On an afterthought i think i will swap PTL with predator because i almost never used it on falcon. It was like one hit out of three dice and then either 3 hits or no hits :P

Might try predator or lone wolf on Poe next time.

You go PtL Recon Specialist Jan Ors Falcon with the title.

First action you evade.

Second action you double focus, and you convert one focus to an evade. Yes, Jan Ors crew works on her own ship. Now you have 2 evades and a focus token.

If you want mobility you can just use one action to boost and the other to focus and evade.

You want pure offense you focus + TL.

You want pure defense you focus evade evade.

You go PtL Recon Specialist Jan Ors Falcon with the title.

Another option is this setup, but with Kyle instead of the Recon Spec. Plays much the same way, but is a bit more resilient to blocking at the expense of being far more committed to using PtL every turn.
