What's everyone doing with their k wings?

By thebigeb2589, in X-Wing

gunner indeed works as advertised, but it's not "not the best" and is, instead, probably the worst upgrade you could ever waste 5 points on for a 2-dice primary

seriously, I'd take Flight Instructor before I even glanced at gunner

but it works as advertised.

I forget the K-Wing has a PWT. But you're still spending 5 points for a 2nd shot, on top of the 6 points you paid for a TLT's 2 shots.

So it's not worth it IMO.

I've been meaning to try out the Aaron Bonar, 3x TLT, 3x Tactician, 2x Warden Squadron, and Miranda list.

So much stuff I want to try out.

I've found with the k-wing, it's best to keep it light and fast. TLT, maybe one other upgrade.

I'm still really, really annoyed at how much of a priority getting 2 more K-wings and TIE Phantoms became after seeing that squad at Worlds.

What am I doing with my K-Wing? Watching it sit on my desk. Occasionally taking it off it's base and making Pew Pew sounds.

Gotta paint it up like a WWII bomber first

Funny, I just finished painting this one up tonight for some tabletime tomorrow :)

This. I don't have one, but this is what it was made for. Great job!

One night after league, we came up with a crazy idea for a 6-7 dice alpha strike using Miranda's ability. The basic idea is for Cracken to shoot first to give Miranda a free action, then Jan and Miranda gives her attack an extra two dice. All of them being PS8 was a happy accident.

Great paintjob, but needs a twi-lek pole dancing around a bomb on the nose, or something like that. with a name underneath like "flak bait" or "lead sled"

Using the TLTs for my Y-wings and leaving it in my case. Bleh.

I like the K-wing, but I wish there was a pilot like redline for it that would actually make running ordnance worthwhile. People use it as a bomber and a TLT carrier, but you still don't see anything on all those ordnance pylons, and I find that rather sad. I'm interested to try this puppy out in epic play.

Set it free, unleash the albatross!

Oh, and rolling 7 red dice with a focus and a guaranteed 3 hits...a very good feeling.

I've had some fun with this list, and managed to take 4th place out of 8 in a tournament last weekend. After not having played competitively for six months, I didn't think that was too bad.

Warden with TLT, Adv. Homing Missiles, Conner Net, Extra Munitions and ASLAM

Warden with Ion Cannon Turret, Plasma Torpedoes, Proximity Mines and Extra Munitions

2 x Bandit Squadron Z-95's.

I'm not completely satisfied with the list yet, but it's not something you see every day. And while munitions still aren't quite where they need to be to be competitive, in my opinion, they aren't completely broken anymore, either.

I ran this same list( I called it 8 kHz), but put VI on Cracken to keep him from being 1-shotted before passing the focus to Doni. I also run navigator on Doni. You can put that ship almost anywhere with navigator after most other ships move.

Oh, and rolling 7 red dice with a focus and a guaranteed 3 hits...a very good feeling.

I also ran a Miranda Jan combo. I ran Miranda with a blaster turret and rec spec. Fun for 5 dice turret shots.

Desk ornament at work. Everyone who walks by says, "is it supposed to look like an ironing board?"

This :) Seaduck repaint K%20WingForHire%202_zpsvjzeh5ib.jpg

Warden + mines and nets + Advanced SLAM is a hilarious ace killer.

This is my favorite use so far, although I do it with Guardians for positioning on those PS 2 and PS 3 pilots. It really is fun, though Miranda is pretty unarguably where the "power" builds are.

I wouldn't say unarguably, unless you're talking meta

Like I said, conner Wardens absolutely prey on aces and fat ships. "Problem" is the meta is so diverse that you can't really specialize so deeply

Mine has still yet to be flown.

Only got it for the TLT

Letting my son have fun with it. I built him a squad with Luke, Poe, and a Warden with TLT, so he can get used to flying his own squad.

Used this list:

Poe Dameron (31)
Lone Wolf (2)
R5-P9 (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Warden Squadron Pilot (23)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Tactician (2)
Warden Squadron Pilot (23)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Tactician (2)
Total: 100
Works extremely well. And fickle, didn't you say you were the K-Wing expert and that the K-wings don't make good TLT carriers? When did that change?

When someone won worlds with them, apparently

Granted, it was only a single player; best we can say is it's a more efficient TLT + tactician than the hwk

Just don't go into expecting easy mode, the drunken albatross goes down like a feathered brink when fired upon and it's bloody expensive

In terms of just TLT my point stands. It us strictly less efficient than the Y regardless of what anyone says

Difference is Ys can't take tactician
