A little Ghost fun

By Klerych, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was fiddling around with the list builder and came up with a funny list. Here it is:

Hera Syndulla (40)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Gunner (5)
Ghost (0)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R2 Astromech (1)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R2 Astromech (1)

Total: 100

Might drop the astromechs for upgrade to TLT and 1 point bid, time will see. The main reasons why I went for this list: willing to check out the Ghost, trying turret Y-Wings without buying multiple ones (I already have one). Imagine Ghost flying at the helm and two Y's behind it in a wedge-like formation - it's hard to get into range 1 without getting hit by at least one ship's TLT and/or ending up in Ghost's arcs. Fly Ghost a wee bit in front of Y's, fly whY-Wings carefully behind it to not bump if it's blocked and the only ways to get into range 1 of everyone is to sneak behind Ghost (into his 5-die special arc) or to sit to the side of the ships, but even then at least one TLT will be popping at you.

It's not designed to be super-competitive, just some indiscriminate 4 die + 6 TLT attacks fun with lots of hitpoints. Of course it might turn out to be terrible if Ghost's maneuvers are stupid or it just doesn't perform, but I like fiddling with random lists.

Another idea was to try it with one Gold Y-Wing with TLT, a Z-95 with trackers and failsafe and a bunch of upgrades on Ghost like engine upgrade for better arcs, FCS for better turret shooting and Chewie for added resilience.

Feel free to fiddle with it!
