Any advice for building a list of 3 Y-Wings and a Hawk?

By MuddyParasol, in X-Wing Squad Lists

For the past 6 months I've been having a great time playing X-wing despite losing all the time. I think a lot of it is that I need to learn to fly better and I'm working on that, but I thought I'd get your expert help with my build as well.

I've always loved Y-Wings and I'm excited about playing a list of 3 Y-Wings and a Hawk. I've tried other ships but I always go back to Y-wings. Also I know a lot of people fly turret lists and that's okay, but for me I get bored flying turrets so the BTL-A4 Title is a must (a turret for the HWK is fine).

I'm leaning away from Twin Laser Turrets just because rolling 3 attacks for each Y-wing sounds like a bit much, but I could be talked into it.

Other than that I'm open to suggestions. I'm okay with going Rebel or Scum, I have most of the cards and if I don't have one I'm fine with buying it to build my list.

This is my list at the moment:

3 Syndicate Thugs (Y-wings) with Ion Cannon Turret, BTL-A4 Title and R4 Agromech

1 Palob Godalhi (Hwk-290) with Blaster Turret and Crack Shot

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

· R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

HWK-290: · Roark Garnet (19)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Tactician (2)

This is a rebel list I've been looking at with 3 y and a hawk. I wouldn't add btla4 on all but it would be real nice to shoot 10 times with possible 4 stress and 1 ion and someone to shoot at pilot skill 12.

I feel like Dace Bonearm would be awesome in your scum list because of the additional ion damage. However with your three y wings set up as they are you would only be able to put in Dace with no other upgrades.

3 Syndicate Thugs (Y-wings) with TLT, BTL-A4 Title and Unhinged Astromech

Torkil with Ion Cannon Turret, Greedo.


Fly this group right and you'll have 3 attacks coming from each of your ywings, that's right, 3! Use the green 3 moves to get the hell out of there instead of in range 1, then K-turn to resume the attack. Torkil will make 1 unlucky sucker PS 0, possibly stuck going forward and can sneak crits in later in the game.

Thank you so much!

Next week I'm going to be playing a bunch of X-wing matches with some friends. I'm going to go ahead and try flying your guy's lists and see what clicks!
