E-Wing + Support

By Arratak, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So Continuing from my post about the sub-optimal E-Wing...

I would still like to run it, and I tried to create a control/support list to buff the E-Wing.

Here's what I've come up with:

Corran Horn
E-Wing 35pts.
Predator 3pts.
Fire Control System 2pts.
R7 Astromech 2pts.

Kyle Katarn
HWK-290 21pts.
Moldy Crow 3pts.
Ion Cannon Turret 5pts.
Recon Specialist 3pts.

Gold Squadron Pilot
Y-Wing 18pts.
BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0pts.
Twin Laser Turret 6pts.
R3-A2 2pts.

100/100

You could save yourself a point by putting PTL and R2 Astromech on Corran and that would make him as maneuverable as Soontir. The only issue I have when I build lists without R2-D2 on Corran is that he seems so green dice dependent given he doesn't have Autothrusters.

The R7 astromech allows him to spend his free target lock he got from fire control system to make the attacker reroll his dice. Slightly defensive if u need it. Or u could use it when you double tap at the end phase. Because you action when engaging in combat will be focus

Corran really wants VI

Is VI really that much better than PTL?

With engine upgrades it lets you arc dodge even aces like Soontir, and shoot before them to maybe kill them even before they can hurt you.

I've always run him with PTL and used barrel roll and boost where needed and try to let someone else deal with the PS9 pilots but I can see how VI would help. Time to get some practice games in to try
