I just got a kwing and I want a list that uses it. I almost exclusively play Empire, but I have all the Rebel expansions. What should I use with it?
What is the "best" or at least your favorite K-wing build?
Sorry double post!
effective? tlt+tactician
fun? BOMBZ
I roll a Warden w/ ion bombs, prox mines, bombardier, extra munitions and adv slam. This lets you scream around the board and drop ordnance any place that will frak with your opponent the most. It's not real flashy but as a bomb platform it's straightforward enough to leave you the points for wingmen.
Edited by HargraveActualThe best one is Danger Zone.
That would be 2 Warden Squadrons and Miranda, all with TLT and Tactician at 99 points.
I like when they asplode!
Miranda with a TLT and crew to suit(c3p0, tactician, chewbacca) is a very potent ship.
Shockingly, I've never rolled with one. I've seen Miranda do really well though in a 3-4 ship list, and Danger Zone is nasty.
Thanks for all the info. I ended up with Miranda with Ad. Homing Missiles, Extra Munitions and Twin Laser Turret. With her I ran Coran Horn with R2D2 and Fire Control Systems and a Prototype Awing with chaardan refit to come to 99 points. My opponent used Dash with Mangler, Outrider, Engine Upgrade and Push the Limit and Ehtan with R2D2, Push the Limit and Fire Control Systems. My plan was going good and I killed Dash and only lost Miranda's shields and the Awing was down to one hull. Then my dice went frigid and I lost all of Miranda's hull in a single round, then all of Horn's shields in the next. Then of course, I try to be slick and not use R2 and try to out maneuver Ehtan but he boost/barrelrolls into a good spot and gets one crit through. Direct Hit of course. Then we spent the next 30 mins with me chasing Ehtan around with my Awing with every hit I do, he regens with R2. I stayed behind him for many turns, but finally got me in arc and that was all she wrote. It was still a good first game with the K-wing. Thanks to all for the advice. Next time I'll try one of these builds.
It tremendous fun to tell your opponent that they will be taking 2 stress
Miranda with TLT, R2D2 crew. She'll solo any other TLT carrier 1v1 without ever getting into hull. Potentially two shields regenerated before your opponent shoots, plus you have flexibility to get a 4 dice primary weapon shot at R1. Really tough bird to take down.
If you're going to run Miranda with Missiles you'd better take regular Homing Missiles (5 dice target locked and focused is nothing to sneeze at). Even better if you can get Cracken to set up the shot.
2x Warden Sqn, Bombadier, EM, Seismic Charge, Conner Net
Warden Sqn, TLT, Recon Specialist.
My favourite list for K-wings.
