build ideas

By Ralgon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Next weekend our local group is running bizzaro xwing day

Must build a 47-50 point build that my opponent will use...... Have a few lists in mind but wondering what crazy stuff we could come up with?

Are there any other special rules for the event? A HWK-290 without a turret is pretty weak...or adding targeting computer to a ship that already has the target lock action is a good way to waste points.

Its more casual than competitive, mind you i already considered a hawk with autoblaster.

Kinda looking forfunny troll without being completely useless

How about an experimental idea you've always wanted to try but never got to. Such as, barrel rolling boba fett.

Boom! Jek porkins- PtL, r5d8, EU, APTs 42 pts with an 8 pt initiative bid. Hilariously overcosted but pretty deadly if he can actually pull off the torps. Looks like good times to me.

Makes sense.

Tons of options for that arena then. I was thinking the same thing on the HWK...something Scummy like:

50 Points -
Spice Runner (24)
HWK-290 (16), Autoblaster Turret (2), Greedo (1), Dead Man's Switch (2), Stealth Device (3)
Laetin A’shera (26)
M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (18), “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor (2), Stealth Device (3), Ion Cannon (3)
It is actually kind of challenging to build something bizarre that is not completely worthless.

For rebels, I am also a fan of:

Dash Rendar (50)
YT-2400 Freighter (36), Lone Wolf (2), Flechette Cannon (2), "Leebo" (2), Outrider (5), Counter-Measures (3)
Expert Handling could be subbed for Lone Wolf is deemed too powerful...
or Imperials:
Sigma Squadron Pilot (25) x 2
Sounds like a fun event!
