Deathrain & Co.

By Scabiosus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I played a casual game this evening at my FLGS, and ran some new ships and upgrades I hadn’t tried yet.

My list was probably not competitive, but I had a ton of fun.

Here’s what I played :

"Deathrain" — TIE Punisher

26

Advanced Sensors

3

Extra Munitions

2

Proton Bombs

5

Conner Net

4

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II

1

Ship Total: 41

"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter

21

Juke

2

Comm Relay

3

Hull Upgrade

3

Ship Total: 29

Black Squadron Pilot — TIE Fighter

14

Crack Shot

1

Ship Total: 15

Black Squadron Pilot — TIE Fighter

14

Crack Shot

1

Ship Total: 15

The Black Squadron Pilot with Crack shot (a well known combination by now) is great, it really helps getting that important hit through.

Omega Leader was very annoying and hard to kill. An unmodified attack against 3 defence dice make him an unattractive target, enabling him to keep his evade token to trigger Juke.

Deathrain was a lot of fun. I hit with two Proton Bombs (destroying one of my Black Squad pilots in the process…) and an enemy interceptor with a Conner Net.

In the future, I will consider bringing Omega Leader and Crackshot Black Squad Pilots to tournaments.
