Rebel TLT Aces

By SPE825, in X-Wing Squad Lists

As opposed to running 4 TLTs that don't really get any dice modification or pilot skills (I've been burned a lot lately by generics), how effective might something like this be:

  • Hotron Salm + TLT + R2 (32)
  • Kyle Katarn + TLT + Moldy Crow + Recon Specialist (33)
  • Miranda Doni + TLT (35)

Total = 100 points with the distribution being pretty even.

The idea is that Horton's ability makes it easier to land TLT shots, and then Katarn can pass out the focus tokens that he's been building up with Recon Specialist and Moldy Crow. Miranda's there as another TLT platform for consistency (with Katarn's extra tokens if needed) and her regen ability if needed.

I've also thought about maybe dropping Katarn to Roark and putting Tactician on Miranda? But they'd have to be in arc for tactician, so I'd think that Katarn's pilot ability would come in handy more so that Roark's plus the Tactician on Miranda.

Thoughts? I'm basically wondering if I'd get greater consistency from these 3 TLTs over running 4 without all of the abilities here. Or am I mathematically better off to just go Thug Life or something like that? Above definitely seems more fun than 4 Thugs w/ TLTs.
