Hey guys, I've got two different lists I'm looking to play. They're both X-Wing based lists (what can I say, I like them
). Which one do you think would be better?
List 1:
Wedge - X-Wing (29) (36 Total)
- Predator (3)
- R2-D2 (4)
- Integrated Astro (0)
Red Squadron Veteran - T-70 X-Wing (26) (29 Total)
- Draw Their Fire (1)
- Targeting Astro (2)
- Integrated Astro (0)
Tala Squadron Pilot - Z-95 Headhunter (13)
Green Squadron Pilot - A-Wing (19) (22 Total)
- Juke (2)
- Chardaan Refit (-2)
- A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
- Push The Limit (3)
List Total: 100
For this list, I picked Wedge because he's great. Red Squadron Veteran With DTF to take some pressure off of Wedge when he inevitably gets targeted. I picked the Tala Squadron over the Bandit so that all ships shoot before the A-Wing to get the most out of Juke. Plus I had the extra points.
List 2:
Poe Dameron - T-70 X-Wing (31) (37 Total)
- Veteran Instincts (1)
- R5-P9 (3)
- Autothrusters (2)
Blue Squadron Veteran (24) (26 Total)
- Targeting Astro (2)
- Integrated Astro (0)
Tarn Mison - X-Wing (23) (25 Total)
- R7 Astro (2)
- Integrated Astro (0)
Bandit Squadron Pilot - A-95 Headhunter (12)
List Total: 100
For this list, I picked your standard Poe (do I have to explain why? Poe is excellent). I picked up Tarn because with R7, he becomes pretty survivable. For only 25 points you get a 3 dice attack, two agility, and can potentially survive as well as a B-Wing. Blue Squadron Veteran with Targeting Astro to get target locks after the k-turn, and the Bandit to fill out the squad.
I like the X-Wing for its versatility, but it doesn't do a lot of things GREAT; it does a lot of things WELL. I'm leaning toward the second list because I like to see more X-Wings, but I feel like the first one could be a better list.
I'm pretty new to the game, so any insight or criticism will be much appreciated!
