Wedge, Roark, ???

By Darth Sarlacc, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Need advice on what to get with the left over points, and if the two I have need to be tweaked.

Thanks

Wedge - R2-D2, Integrated Astromech, Swarm Tactics

Roark - Blaster Turret, Recon Specialist, Moldy Crow

Well, swarm tactics and roark's ability give higher pilot skill to your ships, so maybe better to get some generics inthe rest of the list to take full advantage of that.

blue sq. b-wing:

E2 mod

gunner

mangler cannon

FCS

Leaves you with two points.

Roark makes wedge ps 12, wedge passes to blue sq with swarm, and blue takes 1 and possibly 2 shorts at ps 12!

Actually i would really consider swapping swarm for VI on wedge (or lone wolf) and using roark's ability solely for the b wing, means you don't have to huddle togheter with everyone. IF you go with VI, this gives you enough points to swap the mangler to a HLC too.

As others have said, Swarm is super redundant with Roark also in the list, if you have tlt replace blaster turret to make roark much more effective, you won't need recon specialist anymore either. A fun start to the list, I'd grab some low PS generics to benefit from roark.

HWK-290: · Roark Garnet (19)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

· Jan Ors (2)

· Moldy Crow (3)

T-70 X-Wing: · Poe Dameron (31)

Predator (3)

· R2-D2 (4)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Comm Relay (3)

T-70 X-Wing: Blue Squadron Novice (24)

R2 Astromech (1)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Comm Relay (3)

Roark might have too many points to not be an overly juicey target but jan ors and comm relays make the x-wings even more tanky. Sadly it is an expencive combo and doesnt really leave room for autothrusters. I jave had a crazy amount of fun with predator on Poe lately, and it makes it so its more of a question which ship you will boost each round, without feeling like you are wasting vi in some ways.

Ok, here's what I came up with from the stuff I have,

If you have any suggestions or changes please feel free to give advice, being new I would like to get a lot of practice with this list before the next Event.

Roark - Blaster Turret, Recon Specialist, Moldy Crow

Wedge - R2D2, Swarm Tactics, Integrated Astromech

??? - 36 points to spend must have Swarm Tactics

Do I take

Poe - R5P9, Swarm Tactics, Integrated Astromech

or

Ello - BB8, Swarm Tactics, Integrated Astromech

and

Bump Roark BT to a TLT

I would like to have Roark give Wedge the 12 and then Wedge can give someone his 12 and that someone with swarm tactics can give Roark a 12 so it comes full circle.

Then I would have in the combat phase three guys at 12 to shoot first.
