Help making my friend a list (He is new to the game)

By CaptainAl, in X-Wing Squad Lists

My friend wants to go to SC with me. the problem is he doesn't have a list. He wants to run imperials and he can't buy any more ships before then.

Here is what he was

Force awakens core set

rebel aces

imperial aces

Ig 2000

tie punisher

That is all he has. what list could he run using just cards form those sets?

Edited by CaptainAl

Not the best synergy of expansions but we can make a decent enough list.

Carnor Jax

-Wired

-Hull Upgrade

Omega Ace

-Push The Limit

-Twin Ion Engine

Episilon Leader

-Weapons Guidance

Kir Kanos

I would fly them in pairs. TIE/fo's and Interceptors. Try to fly the FO's slow in and flank with the Interceptors to get Carnor in position. You might even have Kir fly just a bit in front to draw fire. Get Carnor to Range 1 and unleash Omega with his critical hits. Between the Ion Engine and Epsilon Leader, Omega should be able to land crits every round until death.

Good luck to you both in your tournament.

Can't you help a brother out and loan him some ships and/or cards?

Carnor without PtL have almost no way to get any use of Wired :/

My idea:

Carnor Jax [35]

+Push the Limit

+Royal Guard Tie

+Shield Upgrade

+Targeting Computer

Royal Guard Pilot [29]

+Push the Limit

+Shield Upgrade

Zeta Squadron [16]

Omega Ace [20]

Carnor and his fellow guardsmen need to be playmakers here. Zeta is just the filler and Omega is for critting those low agi ships (he should have 3rd PtL + Tie Engines Mk2 instead of shield on Royal, but you have no 3rd PtL...:/ Another option is Opportunist on Omega Ace.)

With decent flying you should get at least 50% win ratio with this one.

If you could lend him something, lend him papers to field Soontir plus at least one set of Autothrusters and a VI. Then he can field a proper Soontir (Auto+Target) backed up by weird Jax (VI, hull and shield) and filled with 2xTie/FO.

You could leave out Wired for Initiative bid. But with as many stressbots that are floating around, it could come in handy in certain situations. I like spreading out the threats rather than loading just the Interceptors with upgrades but the Shields are nice for that Crit that may sneak in.

I dont have much ships myself, but i can loan him my 2 tie advanceds and any upgrades i have That includes 2x Autothrusters

I think he could run this. What about Autothrusters on the Interceptors?

Pull Shield off one Royal Interceptor, add Autothruster. (-2pts)

Pull Flechette Torpedo off Deathrain (-2pts)

On the Royal Interceptor that still has the Shield, remove Targeting Computer and add Autothrusters (0pts). Now, use the 4pts you saved (above) to make that pilot Carnor Jax. He can't TL, but he'll need defensive actions and the shield upgrade because he'll be a huge target. (+4pts)
