Hey, i've been playing for only about 6 months now and started with scum (because a close friend had almost all rebel and imp ships) I've recently started playing with tie interceptors and a-wings and have loved them. I'm thinking about participating in a local tourney here in a couple months and would like some feedback on list ideas involving a-wings.
Last night i flew
Poe 38 pts
- autothrusters
- PTL
- BB-8
Prototype Pilot 15 pts (X4)
- Chardaan Refit
I loved flying the a-wing swarm and i'm still feeling out Poe, i don't know if i like bb-8 as much so i might switch him to either R2-D2 or R5-P9, as well as switch PTL to predator.
The other list idea i had was an A-wing swarm
Green Squad Pilot 20 pts (X5)
- A-wing test Pilot
- Chardaan Refit
- Crack Shot
- Juke or autothrusters
I know 10 red dice isn't that much but i feel with crack shot and possibly juke there can be a lot of opportunities to change their dice and push a lot of damage through. Or you could put autothrusters on them to help with turrets as well as allow you to take another action and not always evade.
A third list i flew that i also liked was
Poe 39 pts total
- autothrusters
- Predator
- R5-P9
Jake Farrell 30 pts
- A-wing Test Pilot
- Chardaan Refit
- PTL
- Outmaneuver
- Autothrusters
Gemmer Sojan 31 pts
- A-wing Test Pilot
- Proton Rockets
- Predator
- Stealth Device
In this match, Poe got blocked (by my bad judgement) and then killed quickly afterwards but the awings never got touched, outmaneuver triggered almost everytime on Jake and Gemmer was throwing at least 5 green dice every roll, i even had one roll with 7 green dice (range 3 through and asteroid).
Overall, what are some thoughts on these lists as well as are a-wing swarms/mini swarms viable? I know the imps invented the swarms but I've really enjoyed flying a-wings, the little extra health and more green options. Thanks.
