Help me build Rebel list

By Muki, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi!

I have 2 A-wings (one from Rebel aces), T-70 X-wing (core), B-wing (Rebel aces), Y-wing, E-wing and T-65 X-wing. I have no idea what to build...2 aces and one low PC craft or all low PS crafts...please help! I will play my friend Emp list this weekend and I have no idea what he will bring.

Anything from this could be fun. I wouldn't worry too much unless you're really looking to stomp face. Just play what you like.

You are right! I usualy don't play Rebels but I will build a few lists and try it then. If you have some interesting list please post it here.

you are kind of limited but thats ok...here are a few fun options that will give your buddy a run for his money

a) poe +BB*+push the limit+proton torpedo

jake farrell+awing test pilot+p[roton rockets+wired+Push the limit

Dutch+ion turret+R2 astro mech

reveal green with poe and get your free barrel roll from BB8. then push the limit to get another action (boost or focus). your are stressed. complete the green manuver to clear stress and then get a third action. Dutch will pass a target lock to you when he moves. jake does a similar tactic as poe. take a focus and push off of it then do a green next round. Wired will always be in effect this way too

b) biggs

blue+adv sensors

tycho+refit+test pilot+wired+push

green+refit+test pilot+wired+push

adv sensors with a bwing is NICE. keep the bwing in formation with biggs

c) same as above but replace tycho and green with jake+refit+test pilot+wired+push and gold+ion cannon+R2. same thing keep the big boys in formation and let the awing run rampant on the flanks

also...if you had a veteran instinct you could run corran really well. he suffers without it. dont have to buy slave expansion or other expansions for cards. Ebay has lots of individual upgrades for reasonable rates

I personally like to play 4 ships with Rebels.
They have good endurance and are very versitile.

I usually don't use many upgrade cards or named pilots, but that is of course because they throw the price upwards and I usually can't fit 4 ships.

The E-Wing is expensive but can be very deadly
If you plan to use the B-Wing (I recommend, I love them) give him Advanced Sensors (from the B-Wing)
A-Wings with the Refit are fast flankers and could fill gaps in your list.
The T-65 is also very solid, but a few points expensive for what it can do

Thanks cubby09! You posted some very interesting lists and I will try them all.

I love an E Wing!

Etahn Abaht, R2D2, Shield Upgrade + Elite Pilot Talent of your choice (I like Opportunist)

Any B-Wing (from Aces I think Keyan Farlander is my favourite, but you should buy the BWing expac for Ten Numb)

Any T-70 XWing (probably Poe Dameron + BB8)

Load them up with the best weapons you can afford (I recommend Mangler cannon on B's if you can find some) or plasma missiles if you face strongly shielded opponents often.

Etahn is tough to remove as his great dial means he can normally pull green manuevers and the B & X provide the fire power, using Etahn's ability to score critical hits. B-Wings rely on strong shields to survive, keep the X-Wing dodging arcs so it cannot be shot.

Not going to be tournament competative but gives you a taster of how different shipsfly to different strengths and that hopefully will inspire your own list ideas

also, if youre able to get a hold of some auto thrusters that would make your ships infinietely better. Poe with thrusters and R2D2 is a tough nut to crack. also awings with wired PTL and thrusters...ooof
