Luke, Tycho and (something else)

By unfassbarnathan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have recently won alt arts for both Tycho (Spring (?) tournament kit) and Luke (Nats) and would like to run them both in the same list.

My first idea is

Luke - Predator, R5-P9, (Integrated Astromech) - 34

Tycho - PTL, thrusters, refit, title, Wired - 30

Miranda - TLT - 35

=99

Am very much open to suggestions. I know Jake is a better A-wing pilot but I really want to use Tycho. I also don't want to mix T-65s and T-70s so Poe is a no-go.

Biggs/R2D2/Shield Upgrade.

Yeah I know it's been done (probably to death) and it's a little predictable, but I honestly couldn't think of anything else besides perhaps Cracken/Wingman but that would leave another 14ish points behind..

I guess those could be spent on another cheapie like a Tala/Bandit and allow a 1-2pt initiative bid but I think I'd only be suggesting that because I love Cracken and the Zs...

I do like the idea of the Biggs tank though as it could give your other X and A a little bit more survivability.

Please, correct me if I sound like some loser nub as I'm still very much an X-wing noob...

Biggs/R2D2/Shield Upgrade.

Waaaaay too expensive on Biggs.

R2D2's shenanigans lose out to concentrated fire, and Biggs' pilot ability forces your opponent to do just that. Throwing 8 points on him for what will usually amount to 2 extra health on your first ship to die just isn't worth it.

He wants R4-D6, and Integrated Astromech once it comes out.

Tycho Celchu (26)

Push the Limit (3)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Calculation (1)

Autothrusters (2)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)


Luke Skywalker (28)

Wired (1)

R3-A2 (2)


Horton Salm (25)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Bomb Loadout (0)

R2 Astromech (1)

Seismic Charges (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)


Total: 99




You can use Luke and Salm to punch through the shields, then finish off with Tycho critting.

That is a VERY expensive Y-Wing you've got there.

Considering that Salm's defense isn't improved by any of your upgrades, he's likely evaporated swiftly.

8 hp with 1 agility... you want to protect that if at all possible.
