HWK and stuf'

By Epixca, in X-Wing

So, my Dad and I play X-Wing almost every day. He has been using my ships. He loves playing Corran + Rendar. And I am usually playing Interceptors of some variant, or just plain IGs. For Christmas this year, I am getting my Dad two expansions.

Rebel Aces

HWK-290

I think he will really enjoy these expansions. I thought of a really good combo. (Sorry ahead of time, I can't get pictures on this post, so just use the links.)

I would like to ask, if anyone has any good ideas, for a build involving, ONLY these 4 ships. (You can use less.)

B-Wing (From Rebel Aces)

A-Wing (From Rebel Aces)

Hwk-290

YT-2400

Thanks in advance.

Get your old man an extra B-Wing instead of the HWK. You'll thank me later.

Tough to do without Push the Limit . . .

Maybe try this:

Kyle Katarn (21)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Recon Specialist (3)
Jake Farrell (24)
Lone Wolf (2)
Proton Rockets (3)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Keyan Farlander (29)
Stay On Target (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Jan Ors (2)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
Total: 99
Jake is able to boost or barrel roll at the start of combat, when Kyle passes off his focus. Keyan has Stay on Target to generate stress, and Jan Ors for a bit of added survivability. They're all glass cannons, but it should work decently well.\
Alternatively:
Dash Rendar (36)
Lone Wolf (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Recon Specialist (3)
Outrider (5)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)
Jan Ors (2)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
Prototype Pilot (17)
Proton Rockets (3)
Total: 100
Ideally, you keep Dash at Range 3 of the B-Wing, so that he gets Lone Wolf and can also get an evade in place of a focus. That way, you pile up both a focus and evade each round (from Recon Specialist), which should help him stick around a bit longer.
I will say, Hondo has a point. The Rebel HWK isn't that strong of a ship with that one attack die. If you're going to get it, I would recommend a K-Wing for your next expansion pack, so that you can get a Twin Laser Turret on the HWK.

Thanks guys!

I'd take the first list above but lose the hlc, give keyan advanced sensors and give jake push the limit. If you have them. If not, then disregard this post...

Hi,

Keyan Farlander is nice with "opportunist". You can stress yourself to buy another attack die and use that stresstoken to turn the focusresults into hits.

Any othe elite talent that stresses the pilot is good on Keyan Farlander (push the limit for example).

Thanks for the advice!

Keyan with Stay on Target can be fun.

Are you using Imperial Aces or did you buy two separate Interceptor packs?

Keyan Farlander (29)

Stay On Target (2)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Kyle Katarn (3)

B-Wing/E2 (1)


Jake Farrell (24)

Outmaneuver (3)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)


Jan Ors (25)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Lando Calrissian (3)


Total: 97




This should give you a run for your money.

Give this a shot:

Dash Rendar — YT-2400 36

Lone Wolf 2

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Outrider 5

Ship Total: 50

Keyan Farlander — B-Wing 29

Stay On Target 2

Kyle Katarn 3

B-Wing/E2 1

Ship Total: 35

Prototype Pilot — A-Wing 17

Chardaan Refit -2

Ship Total: 15

I have no combo suggestions, I just want to say I think it's awesome that you play X-Wing with your dad.

secret build. Blerg table certified. Actually quite good. Extremely trolly.

6 dice TL F Troll build:

Keyan Farlander

HLC

Opportunist

Jan Ors

TLT

Wes Janson

100 pts.

TL with Farlander. When you shoot, wes, strips token, jan shoots TLT. Then Keyan farts out 6 dice TL spends stress for Focus. 4 + 1 opportunist + 1 Jan's ability.

Beaten scum builds and IGs with this. 6 dice TL F. Stuff just dies. And this is every turn.

6dice TL F = 5.625 HITS per roll. average

Edited by Blail Blerg

Blail, have you played this list in tournaments, How have this turned out? How do you mitigate the AGI weakness for Keyan?

Working with your collection, I might try something like this:

Dagger Squadron Pilot + Heavy Laser Cannon + B-Wing/E2 + Intelligence Agent

Eaden Vrill + Gunner

Roark Garnet + Ion Cannon Turret + Recon Specialist + Moldy Crow

Every day?! Wow? That is nice! :)

Good to see people have such fun with this game :)

The HWK is not the main super-fighter that will destroy everyone else.

But you can build it into one hell of a support-ship and a fun one at that :wub:

As long as you don´t go to tournaments, you can always proxy upgrade cards.

You can build a squad with one of the more popular squad builders and print it.

You can try before you buy so to speak. The ones I use the most are:

I hope you and your dad will have fun with the game for years to come!
