Ghost & Angry Tycho

By IGotPoesJacket, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi everyone,

Thinking about giving this a go this afternoon:

Kanan Jarrus - VCX-100 (46)

Ghost Title

Fire Control System

Dorsal Turret

Recon Specialist

Zeb Orrelios Attack Shuttle (18)

Phantom Title

Angry Tycho - A-Wing (35)

A-Wing Test Pilot

PTL

Rage

Proton Rockets

Autothrusters

I was hoping to be able to have Dash as crew on Kanan but it's 1 point over. Wondering if it's worth dropping Kanan and Recon to replace with Lothal Rebel, Dash and Lando. Fire Control System seems like a "no-brainer" - minimum 6 shots per turn all with re-rolls (whilst shuttle docked)?

Idea of the list is Ghost sucks up some punishment whilst Tycho knocks something out early with the PRockets (Rage re-rolling 3 dice for a mere 2 stress, how sweet is that?) and then gets minimum 2 shots (hopefully 3 with his manouevrability) with re-roll and 2 evades every turn.

Should kick out a lot of firepower - what you guys think?

That's very similar to what I ran last night.

Kanan Jarrus - VCX-100 (46)

Fire Control System

Dorsal Turret

Experimental Interface

Lando Calrisian

Recon Specialist

Zeb Orrelios Attack Shuttle (18)

Hull Upgrade

Green Squadron Pilot (19)

Push The Limit

A-Wing Test Pilot

Veteran Instincts

It started off well and the A-wing did a great job of flanking a poping a black squadron Tie. I was a bit over zealous with the Ghost and moved quickly hoping to get some range one five dice attacks from the primary, I was punished for that as the first volly from my opponents swarm relieved me of the Ghosts shields. As with the Decimator once those hits start to mount up it really becomes quite hard to keep it alive. Just go slow with the Ghost and try to avoid my mistake of being forced to deploy the Phantom into an oncoming Tie swarm....poor Zeb didn't know what hit him. :(

That was pretty much my experience against triple K-Wings - plus need to remember to use Lando when you equip him!

I think it has potential but I need to give it a few more test flights - luckily the wife is out tomorrow :)
