S&V list for a casual tuesday game, z95 based

By Gadge, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Playing a friend who is *fairly* new to the game on Tuesday so dont want to put him off by flying a triple int list against him and not letting him get a shot in... and so i thought i'd play S&V which i probably have not played in months.

I fancied a Z95 based list and the plan is to keep Ndru at range on one flank while the pirates supported by the HWK concentrate on one enemy ship at a time (probably the one reduced to PS0)

Thoughts?

I know im playing against a rebel list, thats about it.

100 points Pilots ------

N’Dru Suhlak (24) Z-95 Headhunter (17), Glitterstim (2), Lone Wolf (2), Stealth Device (3)

Binayre Pirate (12) x 4

Torkhil Mux (28) HWK-290 (19), Twin Laser Turret (6), Moldy Crow (3)

Give N'Dru clusters instead of SD if you really want to run him, if you're looking for just a scum z95 list look up sablegryphon's "murder of crows" list

Cheers i'll look that up.

I'll try clusters on him too.

Hmm, going to require losing something else as clusters instead of stealth puts the list at 101pts

equally murder of crows seems to be a HWK heavy list unless i've got the wrong one.

Its 5 black sun zs with feedback, and torkil with tlt (or ion). Its a pretty solid, but very difficult list to fly. I am about 500 with it, have made a lot of mistakes with it.

Its great against arc dodgers and high ps aces, solid vs other swarms, havnt played much vs 2 ship builds, dash and han are brutal counters to it, as they are just too fast to really bring the zs bear. (which is why im considering switching to an ion turrent on torkil

A win and a loss (down to one ship each though) in two games.

First one against 3 academys, howlrunner and two PS4 FO Ties was a resounding win (lost 2 z95 pirates) using the list with cluster missiles and inertial dampners instead of glitterstim and SD

Second match was close but lost out to a shields down Poe dameron. Poe, wedge and jan ors did really well in knocking out Mux early on so it was harder to close down on the enemy, we did laser wedge to bits pretty early though.

Ndru was much less useful with SD (forgot i had it) and in the turn i used glitterstim it did sod all.

So lesson learnt, cluster missiles!

Why not the best z95 upgrade: Xizor!

He upgrades z95s by making them serve a higher purpose :P

(Also swarms are scary for newer players, at least the ones in my area don't seem to know not to joust when faced with 5+ ships)
