Autoblaster Turret + Greedo

By Deepspace5, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Going into a casual Friday night game tomorrow and considering the following list:

99 Points

21-Spice Runner + Autoblaster Turret + Greedo + Dead Man's Switch

38-Trandoshan Slaver + Gunner + Bossk + Tactician

40-Guri + Predator + Virago + Autothrusters + Sensor Jammer

I normally go with 4 or 5 ship lists for whichever faction I play, but I thought the idea of a low PS Spice Runner was intriguing...then I figure why not add Greedo and DMS for Biggs type factor. I figure I would run him up the side with the Slaver and then spring up for a block to mux things up on the first full engagement.

Any suggested feedback or thoughts on the Spice Runner?

Another idea would be to scrap the Slaver idea and upgrade the HWK to Palob with Opportunist, Autoblaster Turret and Greedo...maybe with MC title (27-30 points).

I think autoblaster and greedo is a great combo especially in this high ps high agility meta. But I think you might get more mileage out of autoblaster on a y-wing, since its got a much better dial than the hwk. I like your slaver idea, might be alittle hard to turn around though with taking that stress.

AA,

Thank you for the input. That would be my only concern...the Y-Wing is a bit quicker than the HWK...especially with unhinged. The Y is a great AB carrier...unfortunately it does not have the illicit or crew slots and the PS is a little bit higher which makes it a less effective blocker. Having the same PS as the slaver would come in handy though.

I probably need to pick up a second HWK and run dual Spice Runners to cover a bit more area and prevent them from lagging behind my other ships. The slaver with K4 is great to just bump behind my own ships and still get actions going...
