"All Eggs In One Basket" Featuring the K-Wing

By Chillmire, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello there!

A friend and I were chatting at our local store tonight about the endless possibilities that come with bombs. On this topic, we also started musing about the Sabine Wren crew card that comes with the Ghost, and an amazingly gimmicky idea struck us and we just had to write a list based on it.

We call it the All Eggs in One Basket build because the "win condition" of this list is to fly the decidedly chicken-like K-Wing around and drop its "eggs" everywhere, but also because half of the points consist of one ship. You'll also have to correct me on whether or not Sabine gives the K-Wing an extra bomb slot, as her card simply states that "Your upgrade bar gains the bomb upgrade icon" - whether or not this requires it to have none already is a bit foggy, but I believe this is legal.

Miranda Doni – 29
Sabine Wren – 2
Twin Laser Turret – 6
Engine Upgrade – 4
Seismic Charges – 2
Seismic Charges – 2
Seismic Charges – 2
– 47

Grey Squadron Pilot – 20
Ion Cannon Turret – 5
– 25

Dagger Squadron Pilot – 24
Advanced Sensors – 3
Tractor Beam – 1
– 28

Total: – 100

We don't expect this list to go far in terms of competitiveness. It just looks like a load of fun, just cruising around and trying to catch the enemy in your afterburners, which is where all the tractor beams and ion cannons come in. This may or may not be a good counter to aces such as Soontir, but we're going to give it a test run next week to see how it fares!

K-Wings have torpedo slots, so trade one of the Seismics for Extra Munitions, resulting in 4 bombs for the same price.

More eggs is a good thing.

On that note, would it be worth taking a cheaper turret or downgrading the Y-Wing for the sake of six bombs to capitalise on Sabine's ability?

Nice idea. I would replace the b-wings the two TLT Y-Wings.

Probably ideal, but we fancied seeing how well we'd be able to manipulate people into the SCs using a combination of Ion and Tractor.

TLT Y-Wings would definitely up the survivability of the K-Wing though through sheer damage output, definitely a consideration as we continue to draft up changes!

I have been running Miranda with C3PO, TLT, Cluster Bombs, Siesmc and Extra Ammo. With a couple of Blue squadron T-70's with R2 Astromechs and Integrated. It has done pretty well. Miranda is so hard to kill unless ganged up on. The T-70's are just fun to fly with R2's. Gives them a lot of options after they T-turn.

I think I will change the Siesmic's to Thermals when I get it. And I am kit sure if I am 100% happy with the Clusters yet. I dropped one on Han and did 3 damage so I guess that's not so bad. Killed a Tie outright hitting Two of the Bomb tokens.

Might try to fit Conner Nets though.

I am excited to see how Wren would work with a list like this. I just might try to fit her somewhere else. Her ability is Table wide after all. And it already has bombs on the ship. So no need to put her on the K wing. Unless you want that extra bomb. But 4 Mine/bombs is more than enough in a game I think anyways. It's just where to put her.

You could stick her on a B-Wing with the title as a crewmember, and that B-Wing has two torpedo slots for extra munitions on top of bombs, and has the liberty of taking a torpedo as well for extra bang for buck. We stuck more bombs on the K-Wing to emphasise on the eggs in one basket, not really the wisest move but it's a pretty hilarious build (at least in our opinion)

We initially chose Seismic Charges for the straight-up one damage kicked up to two by Wren which can demolish the more fragile ships quite easily without having to roll a die, and they're rather cheap. There are better options and this is very much a draft, but I can see Wren really upping the ante when it comes to bomb lists!

You could fit the B-Wing, TLT Y-Wing and K-Wing quite comfortably in 100 points, looking at 6 bombs across two ships I think. Definitely worth consideration!
