Boba plus TLTs

By 4fox100, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys. I'm kinda new to the forum so just wanted to introduce myself plus get some critique on one of my lists. I'm a list builder at heart and I wanted to get some outside opinion on them.

Paint Scratcher:

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)

Lone Wolf (2)

Glitterstim (2)

X2 Syndicate Thug (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Total 99pts

Your thoughts? Any critique is welcome.

Your total seems high. I only count 91 total giving each y-wing a twin laser turret.

I like to throw in "unhinged astromech" just to give those clunky stress making y-wings a few more green maneuvers.

Also, why not throw in a "heavy laser cannon" for Boba Fett and that would put you at 100 points and give Boba 4 dice at ranges 1-3.

That doesn't look like 99 points to me. More like 91?

I'm gonna suggest a somewhat standard boba + 2 thugs. I don't actually fly it, but it looks strong on 'paper' (and I think others have used it):

Boba w/ veteran instincts, tactician, glitterstim & engine upgrade = 48

2 thugs w/ twin laser turrets & R4 agromechs = 26 x 2

100

Oops forgot. I had EU on Boba

I was gonna recommend the same list as blade mercurial dos, i probably try it since i am trying to find compaby for that boba build other than the ig. Just to change, since right now i think its the best pair.

2 thugs w/ twin laser turrets & R4 agromechs = 26 x 2

I've been thinking about trying exactly this list. Anyone have experience flying it?

I've tried a couple games with a similar list, but IG-88B (HLC, AT, FCS, Crack) instead of Boba. It's worked decently, but I was finding it hard to stay at long range with the Aggressor without the slow Thugs getting chewed up while IG is maneuvering. I think I just need to get better at flying the Aggressor.

Seems like an easier list to fly with Boba, since he'd want to just dive into range 1 while the Thugs hang back. Just not sure if Boba is as strong a ship as a well-flown Aggressor.

I've actually flown this exact list 3x now, currently 3-0. The first game was vs Fat Han + Luke. Game 2 was vs a Tie Swarm, and game 3 was vs a jousting rebel aces list: Poe, Luke, & I want to say one of the A-Wings. The swarm was the trickiest matchup and took a bit of luck when his dice went cold. He had one Y-Wing at 2 hull and the other had 1 hull and he whiffed 3 attacks in a row. It's not as strong at dual aggressors or 4 tlt Y's, but it's still flies well enough and more importantly, for me at least, is quite fun.
