Hey guys,

So my first build was pretty much everything I had at the time... 2 Xwings and the falcon... Well my overtime came in and I went a little... Well nuts... So now I've got another two starters and I took a liking to the Z95s... So i kinda got 8 of them...

Anyway just wondering how usable the good old 4 tala 4 bandit build would be vs current lists.

Take Arien Cracken with Squad Leader

5 Talas with Concusion Missels

Focus with Talas, hand out TL with Arien, shoot wih Arien, have another Tala TL , do that 2 turns in a row and focus fire ships down! I have had good success with that list!

The 8 Z swarm is a perfectly viable list if you want to try it- it's the kind of thing that's going to require a lot of practice to make work, though, and you have to have the fortitude to not tilt when your red dice don't give you the love.

My current list is:

Poe, R5-P9, LW/Pred, Autothrusters and 5 Bandits. It's goooooood fun.

Try Cracken with swarm and cluster missiles, Blount with swarm and assault missiles. Fill in the rest of the points.

Cracken and Blount allow a 3rd ship to shoot at PS 8, the CM attack from Cracken allows two other ships to perform actions.

If you're looking at an 8-Generic-ship swarm, TIE Fighters are better.

Z-95s have Blount, Cracken, a vastly superior upgrade bar, and the possibility of getting a non-imperial wingman.

Best Z-95 swarm I've seen in ages comes in Scum, with Feedback Arrays. Those things are terrifying.

My current list is:

Poe, R5-P9, LW/Pred, Autothrusters and 5 Bandits. It's goooooood fun.

Yeah but you gotta learn to K-turn more if you want to win. I run a five-Z list, too.

I actually really love the dial, but there are a lot of k-turns. 3k and green 2 banks... nommy!

What about Biggs with R2 (from original starter set) and shield upgrade, Cracken and then 2 Tala and 2 Bandit... That should work out right on 100 and let Biggs tank hits whilst the Cracken help dish out TL and the bandits and tala start slinging dice and generally being annoying.

I really have no idea about Poe or how to use him yet as I haven't yet picked up TFA starter but soon...

Anyway what do you think of Bigge, Cracken and the weenie Zs?

Although if I just go with 4 bandits rather than the 2 tala 2 bandit I could put the other two points into wingman for the Cracken to help alleviate some of the eventual k turn stress...
