E'tahn & Biggs catch some ZZZ's

By jblum23, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I wanted some feedback on this list:

E'tahn + R2 + Predator (36)

Biggs + R4-D6 + Int. Astro. (26)

Tala x2 (26)

Bandit (12)

Total = 100 points

I dropped a tala down to a bandit to give E'tahn the R2 astromech (a green hard 2 is nice to have), but I am on the fence about it. Having 5 ships shoot at PS 4 and 5 is nice with most TLT's at PS 2. Hopefully being able to remove one BEFORE it can shoot. Biggs buys E'tahn more time and R4-D6 (helps against heavy lasers) with IA is a pretty nice combo. I think overall it could be a pretty good list, especially with TIE swarms making a comeback.

What about dropping the Bandit to give the Talas some missiles and give E'tahn Hull Upgrade? It should give you a more effective alpha strike and prevent E'tahn from disappearing to the first AHM or Wampa.

Plus, once Guidance Chimps drop the Tala's missiles get even nastier with the Hit becoming a Crit.

Nice ideas. However at this point I'm trying to include as many ships as possible. More attacks means E'tahn's ability is used more.

Missles on low ps doesn't work well.

I say take your list for a try just as is.

Only thing is I'd rather have a z die over Biggs as he does more dmg

Maybe put in tarn with a R7.

Fly the z aggressive, so your opponent will target those instead. Get them at range 1 while xwing and ewing are at range 2-3

Yeah. I COULD have 2 more Tala's instead of Biggs. Biggs is here to screw with target priority. If you've played against him you know how powerful that can be.

Yes I get that, I've used Biggs a lot but is Biggs worth protecting a bunch of z95?

He does more dmg than a z.

After Biggs is gone your left wth etahn and z95

Etahn ability is only good if you can get hits in, and that can be hard with two red dice ships

Those 2 attack dice and 2 agility won't do much unless you can really lay on some hurt before Biggs dies, and once he's gone etahn will be next

I just think a 3 dice ship protecting a bunch of two red dice ship defeats the purpose

I know your intending on protecting etahn but again I'd much prefer a bandit to die vs Biggs.

Which is why I suggested taking Biggs out and put in a different pilot.

As I said keep those z95 in your opponent face

He'll take the range 1 shot over a 2-3. Plus you can't really ignore z95 at range 1 anyway.

Tarn late game is a beast. Very hard to kill if you did enough dmg to your opponent
