Hey gang, so here is my first ever attempt to build a list and bring to the table. No tourneys, just looking to try out some of my favorite ships but in a competitive manor. Here is what I have come up with.

Obviously I'm hearing how good TLTdoes. So I wanted it in for sure using the Kwing and HWK for these. HWK buffed enough to utilize the stress and Jan's ability to pass on extra dice and the Kwing, well, I love the SLAM ability and the ship period. As I play higher point games, (150 I think would rock)

Bwing. Nuff said, I thought making it E2 and tossing in Han for ***** n giggles would be alot of fun.

so

tear it apart! Give me pros n cons and why or why not this would work! I'm enjoying the community and amexciting to FINALLY, start to play and get involved!!

Thanks ahead of time!

I want to like Hwk I think it looks very good, but never though of any good build for it to be effective. Always i find it lacks something for it pts

If you need feedback, here's my thoughts. Comments aren't coming forward because it just looks like a standard list that lots of people try and fly.

Not terrible but not ground breaking either. It is just a rebel list. If you want a lot of comments you need to do something different from the norm or propose a crazy idea. What you have here is just a list of three ships that will play a standard game. No mind-blowing synergy or combo that will finally prove that the HWK is actually an undiscovered, underrated championship winner!

With that in mind, as requested here is my critique for you.

Mangler Ten Numb is a standard build and as a combo works well, if a little pricey.

Han Solo crew? Unusual choice. For the cost of three points you have the highly situation occurrence of making your TL act as if you had chosen focus instead. There are better ways to spend three points as you want to be having TL & focus at the same time anyway.

Instead of using Han it's better to get a TL one turn and wait til you are focused next turn or take Push The Limit to do both in the same turn (tough to get rid of stress with a B Wing though).

A good alternative is Fire Control System (2pts) to get a free TL after attacking.

HWKs die easily and they don't have a great dial to get rid of stress when they get it.

I think I'm missing the part of the list where the HWK is "buffed enough to take the stress" as I only see a TLT upgrade? In my games with the HWK they have always disappointed.

The turret helps but your firepower is limited to maximum two damage a turn so you will have trouble beating large ships or swarms.

Jan Ors has a great ability but will often struggle to use it effectively in combat. Ten has an uncancelable hit ever turn already and the TLTs don't benefit from extra dice as they are maximum two damage anyway.

Warden K Wing. Simple but effective. Again the damage output of the TLT trades higher destructive power for more reliably hitting the target. This is why Tactitian is a good choice for a TLT carrier as it piles on two stress tokens which makes your enemy much easier to deal with. I personally like to fly a TLT Warden with Intelligence Agent to see where my opponent is headed before I decide if I want to SLAM to a safer distance or to keep them in the TLT threat range.

I would first suggest flying a second TLT Warden Pilot instead of Jan as they are the same price. Two turrets with high health to avoid is tough for your opponent and Ten outflanks to finish the job when shields are down.

Alternatively consider this:

Ten Numb (38) - B-Wing

Advanced Sensors (3), "Mangler" Cannon (4)

Miranda Doni (35) - K-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Gold Squadron Pilot (27) - Y-Wing

Twin Laser Turret (6), R5-P9 (3)

Still two TLTs, still get to SLAM a K-Wing. Miranda can regen shields as can the TLT y-wing if it focuses (BTL-A4 title optional) and Advanced Sensors is a great upgrade on a B-Wing as the can be much more upredictable by barrel rolling before moving and can choose an action before performing a red manoeuvre so they don't lose an action.

If you are set on using Jan, try to get a crew upgrade that will make her survive longer, like the ever popular C3-P0 or use Nien Numb or Kanan Janus (when released) to help remove stress tokens.

One final thought. Sometimes people aren't going to comment on a list but don't be impatient and don't get sarcastic ;-) the more you share in the community the more they will share back with you when you can pique their interest.

Hope that helps and happy flying!

Ahhh....finally feedback. Being new to a game and to a forum, you get frustrated a bit because today is payday which means going to buy some models today and I didn't want to waste the money. Lol so I apologize and thank you!

Ultimate plan is the ghost and a K-wing. I like the looks of the conner net but watched it in play and wasn't impressed by the 4pts.

I think maybe I should go through and maybe read up on all the cards some more

Understandable. And you are welcome! I never had success with Conner nets but in the right hands they can be a great weapon. I have an opponent who often uses mines really effectively not as an offensive weapon on their own but rather to deny me the freedom of movement around the board and force my moves, which is a powerful strategy if you have ships ready to strike.

yeah that's pretty dirty. I was thinking of maybe 2 Warden Kwings too. And that 3rd ship, if it's the right ship, can be pretty dirty. Appreciate the help!
