So is there a Good/Thematic Ghost and Phantom only build?

By JJFDVORAK, in X-Wing

I would like to build a Thematic yet fairly good 100pt squad using just the Ghost and Phantom. It would kinda be a "one ship build" at least at first. I would like to keep it to "Rebels accurate" options. I used all the crew from the show and Hera and Sabine as my pilots, but I couldn't get more than around 85pts. I know I could add an Awing to the list, but I really want just the Spectres. Any ideas? Is it even possible?

Hera Syndulla — VCX-100 40

Sensor Jammer 4

Dorsal Turret 3

Advanced Proton Torpedoes 6

Extra Munitions 2

"Zeb" Orrelios 1

Kanan Jarrus 3

Engine Upgrade 4

Ghost 0

Ship Total: 63

Sabine Wren — Attack Shuttle 21

Push the Limit 3

Twin Laser Turret 6

Ezra Bridger 3

Engine Upgrade 4

Phantom 0

Ship Total: 37

VCX-100: Hera Syndulla (40 + 23)

+ Advanced Sensors (3)

+ Twin Laser Turret (6)

+ Extra Munitions (2)

+ Proton Torpedoes (4)

+ Ezra Bridger (3)

+ "Zeb" Orrelios (1)

+ Ghost (0)

+ Engine Upgrade (4)

Attack Shuttle: Sabine Wren (21 + 16)

+ Push the Limit (3)

+ Twin Laser Turret (6)

+ Kanan Jarrus (3)

+ Phantom (0)

+ Shield Upgrade (4)

I don't think it will be very competetive.

But it has rebels only crew and is 100pts.

I think the ghost is in a weird place that to make a "one" ship list, it actually gets less efficient. For example, the list above actually has me thinking that fire control system and guidance chips could be really nasty once you deploy the shuttle, but that leaves a points gap that I'm not comfortable with...

Is Lando allowed?

I do feel that a Prototype Pilot is plenty thematic, as that gives you a Phoenix Squadron wingman.

But seriously, these builds(listed above) are the kinds I was asking for. I totally forgot about EU. If I had added that to each ship, my original, off the cuff build would have been like 93 or so. Thanks for the input everyone.

Yeah I agree and eventually I'll probably use one, but I wanted to try just the Ghost/Phantom first. Even though I never play Rebels(Empire all the way) I thought I would actually use some of the Rebels stuff I have been buying since wave 1 finally. I wanted to try the Ghost first though.

Sure there is, for the first two rounds of Escalation.

They're awkwardly priced for 100 point games, but for 60 and 90, they rock!

You can fit them both in at 60? Bearing in mind you can't change the builds, only add to them, what sort of progression would you have in mind?

No clue, lol.

​However, you can fit the cheapest pilots of both in the 60 round, with 7 points remaining to upgrade and/or switch pilots.

So, the question becomes: What do you want your list to look like in the 120 and 150 rounds? 'Cause these two can curve beautifully before that.

I know this is not what you requested but it's the first list I came up with, based on the opening battle in the Season 2 premier, Siege of Lothal:

Hera VCX with Ezra, Kanan, Ghost title and Dorsal Turret.

Sabine Attack Shuttle with Phantom title.

Phoenix Squadron ...err, Prototype A-Wing with Chardan Refit x 2.

Competitive? Probably not. Fluffy? Most definitely.

I've had great success with this:

47 Chopper w/ ABT, AccCor, Zeb, Leebo, IonProj, Ghost.

33 Sabine w/ LW, TLT, Chewie, Phantom.

20 Prototype w/ PRockets.

Not sure if that's fluffy enough, but it wrecks face.

A-wings are thematic support.

B-wings too

How about R2-D2?
