Rebel list help for beating dual IG's

By Caveman4684, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I played a game against a friend who is pretty good at X-wing and he crushed me with dual IG's. Now granted my list was pretty bad, I made it up on the spot and I wanted use a new ship, the HWK 290; it was not a coherent list. The most obvious problem I encountered was how maneuverable his ships were. He had no problem getting in my back arc and keeping me there. My B-wings and HWK who were all lower pilot skill had no chance of turning the fight.

So what would you bring to counter this? My fleet is in my sig and I'm not opposed to buying new ships, in fact I'm placing an order soon anyway. Off the top of my head I'm thinking high pilot skill to reduce the effectiveness of his boost actions. Also 360 degree weapons, fat Han sounds like it could work. I did have TLT on my hawk, but it was destroyed by a crit before I ever got a shot off.

I believe you are thinking of the right things here - higher PS and movement related.

If you picked up a Force Awakens core set and a Rebel Aces, you could out together a pretty good Jake Ferrel, Poe Dameron and Kyke Katarn (HWK-290) list. Poe and Jake are beasts on their own, and Kyle is a good support who makes each of the two even better. With Kyle, Jake can boost in the combat phase, and Poe is just always good especially with regeneration.

Miranda and regeneration shenanigans could also work well to help survive some of the hell that twin Aggressors can throw your way.

I'm really hoping they make t65s more attractive with a title or something, at the moment Poe just runs a 1 man show when it comes to xwings

Never lost to Brobots with BBBBz in a tourney or not. they have tricks but with only a forward fire arc they are not squirrely enough to keep fire on opponents and evade arks at the same time. surround em and trap em. make them bump you to lose actions and hit em with 3x 3-4 dice attacks and they melt pretty quick.
