Help!!

By spamdex, in X-Wing

Some of y'all should team up and run a six HWK list...just because.

You lot are not helping, I have already planned my next purchase and my current order still hasn't arrived

I'm in the same boat as spamdex.... New player, building a cart on CSI... All I need is a couple 'o core sets, and both aces. But wait, the phantom looks cool... and the outrider... and the slave one.... and the k wing... oooh, and most wanted.... heck, buy all of it... Hmmm, my cart seems way more expensive than it used to be, how could that have happened?

IT'S AN ADDICTION.

Yes I see the problem you only own one tie defender, you need another two.

Why would you ever buy 3 Defenders?

Why wouldn't you?

Well I bought 3 of everything that wave out of a combination of over enthusiasm, supply chain concerns, and free shipping from MM. I love the look of that ship, so I don't regret it. The 3 E-Wings on the other hand...

Nicely played.

I needed 3 predator cards. :D

I know of one person who brought 8 phantoms to run a list with 8 tacticians (before nerf :( )

Because defender, there is no other reason needed.

Just ignore the contingent that thinks three of everything is the minimum baseline.

I had a question for you in the last post of page one that will have a big impact on what you should get next.

One has to ask on the wisdom of getting advice from the addicts.

Casual play at the moment, but I will do some tournaments when I find some close to home. And I don't like proxying cards it doesn't feel right so I just end up buying what I need

Get these:

1 K-Wing << miranda and dash makes a great couple. Also 2 TLTs for your turret ships

1 Tie Punisher << twin ion helps your defender and other Ties in general. Redline & Deathrain are pretty fun as well

1 E-wing << corran if dash prefers a male partner instead

1 Slave-1 << for stealth devices since you're not into S&V yet

Predator comes in only the Defender and Kihraxz sets. It's a pretty useful card, so don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting two at some point. Not urgent until then, though. I'd get the second from the Kihraxz, rather than getting another defender (one defender is plenty until they fix the overcosting issue).

I'd suggest a star viper for autothrusters and an interceptor blister for Soontir Fel. Then a must wanted pack to get some intro scum squads. Then a k-wing for twin laser turrets.

Apart from the interceptor which other imp ships do you suggest? There doesn't seem to be any more that are worth getting more than one of.

Yeah, I have to agree for the most part. Getting your hands on the TA x1 title and Advanced Targeting Computer from the Raider box really unlocks the TIE Advanced, but that's expensive. You can pick the pair of cards up secondhand for $10-15, if you need to. Once you have some of the cards, running two TAs isn't an awful idea (but again, expensive for tournament play).

Then, I'd just build squads and play with them. Eventually you'll hit a squad that you really want to try, but are missing some bits for. Let that drive your next purchase. I'm pretty much a "one of everything" type, and then get multiples to satisfy my curiosity about how a given list performs.

Grivoire's list isn't bad either.

Yes I see the problem you only own one tie defender, you need another two.

I played against just two Defenders armed with Mangler Cannons, and supported by Capt Jonus and he kept them in tight formation. Talk about lethal! And that was just the scuzzy Delta Sqn pilots.

Two's enough. Three's just rubbing your opponent's nose in it.

I hope you've got Slave I coming. No collection is complete with Boba Fett. And get the Most Wanted pack. Then you can play two different versions of him! :)

Welcome to the plastic crack habit! Everyone here is thoroughly addicted.

Double D Jonus brothers ftw. I gotta try this.

Looks like I'm getting that second defender after all.

A defender with mangler is 34 points right, so that's a pair of 34D's? Awesome.
