Dash-X-X

By strawb3rrypanic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I haven't played with him in a while, I feel like dusting off the good old Outrider...

Dash Rendar

PTL

Kanan Jarrus

Mangler Cannon

Engine Upgrade

Outrider

55pts

Rookie Pilot

R3-A2

Integrated Astromech

23pts

Rookie Pilot

R2 Astromech

Integrated Astromech

22pts

100pts

I like Kanan with this type of Dash because you can ptl and do any move but your k turn which you weren't likely to use much anyway and be much much less predictable not being locked to 4 moves.

for the rookies, I can give one of them a 2pts droid instead, one with a stress droid could be useful actually...

I really enjoy playing Dash, am playing him with Miranda, with Recon specialist and TLT.

Was thinking of changing Miranda out with Ghost, because I like the firepower it brings to the table,

Polle

Personally I don't feel Dash needs Engine as much with Kanan on board. Dropping that lets you get the HLC back for a 4-dice shot to punch through aces. Then with you last 2 points you can add Anti-Pursuit Lasers to further enhance your game against arc-dodging hole-sitters.

I was running the following list recently at my local shop:

Dash

PLT

Heavy Laser Cannon

Kyle Katarn

So I got to play it twice tonight but one of the rookies had r3-a2 instead.

Game one I beat a triple jumpmaster list game 2 I lost but it was down to dash and miranda and my dice just couldn't overcome the tlt and regen.

Still it ran pretty good.

The variation I came up with:

Dash Render (54)

  • PTL
  • HLC
  • Kanan
  • Outrider

Rookie Pilot (23)

  • R7
  • IA

Rookie Pilot (23)

  • R7
  • IA

Total Points: 100

The idea being that the R7 Astromech, as well as the Integrated, could improve the rookies' survivability.

I saw your first post and thought to myself "hey, I played against that exact list last night... Wait a second..." Good to see you on the boards! I have to say, you did a great job of range control and made it difficult for me to pull off too many shenanigans. Miranda may have sweated a bit more if Dash had an HLC, but then again with the HLC you couldn't immediately dash (ha) into range 1 to avoid the homing missle. So I don't know. Anyway, always a pleasure!
