Just got a HWK...

By costi, in X-Wing Squad Lists

...and I'm looking for ways to use it effectively, both for Rebel and Scum (I have access to all pilots).

For Rebels, I was thinking of something like this:

Kyle Katarn (21)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Jan Ors (2)

Moldy Crow (3)

Poe Dameron (31)

Juke (2)

R5-P9 (3)

Comm Relay (3)

Integrated Astromech (0)

Jake Farrell (24)

Push the Limit (3)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Autothrusters (2)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Total: 100

Basically, Poe stores an early evade thanks to Jan and uses it to push shots through (or uses it for survival), while at the same time he gets a focus from Kyle for his ablity and regeneration.

If he does not use the Evade, he can be double focused. Kyle has VI so he can shoot before Poe and hopefully force the enemy to use tokens or disable Stealth Devices

Jake is there as a flanker and general nuisance. I'd love to give him prockets, but I can't find the points for them... I'd have to give Jake and Kyle Adaptability and drop Moldy Crow for that, not sure if it's worth it.

As for Scum, I honestly have no idea... tips are appreciated.

throw some D's on it.

Some what?

If you drop Jake for the 'stress hog' you can give Kyle Juke as well (Kinetic Operator apparently won a store tourney with that list recently)

Jake without proton rockets is certainly less scarey...

I was also thinking about replacing Jake with the Stresshog, taking a standard VI Poe and Jan Ors with Wired, TLT, Nien Numb and Engine Upgrade to boost Poe's offence.

Jan Ors (25)

Wired (1)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Nien Nunb (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Poe Dameron (31)

Veteran Instincts (1)

R5-P9 (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)

Twin Laser Turret (6)

R3-A2 (2)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Total: 100

Another change might be to drop EU on Jan, and give her Kanan crew - she loses on maneuverability and arc dodging, but has a greater range os stress-clearing options and if need be, can use Kanan to clear stress from Poe.

The remaining two points can be kept for initiative or a Seismic Charge on the stresshog.
