jumper and the bandits

By Scoundrel, in X-Wing

When ever i see a powerful ship at 39-40 points i think "ok, heres something that goes with 5z". It must be a relapse to my love to the xisor swarm. i know the z is not so popular right now, but 5 of them is still a force to be reckoned with.

So i started testing this back when the new wave came out. yesterday i tried it again. seems so good. 29 hp behind 2 green is decent. nice blocking and a lot of ships.

Binayre Pirate (12) x 5

Tel Trevura [Deadeye, Proton Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, Boba Fett, R4 Agromech] (40)

or this variant;

100 points Pilots

Contracted Scout (40) JumpMaster 5000 (25), Dengar (3), Punishing One (12)

and 5x binaries.

anybody tried this?

I like it. Well give it a try this week.

Looks fun!

I have a "Fruit Salad" list I enjoy. It's a Pineapple with a Mango, and four Bananas (aka a Firespray with a Mangler Cannon, and four Binayre Pirates).

Too bad you cannot get a hull upgrade in there.

I thought head hunters had gone extinct.

If you switch Tel out for a Contracted Scout you could bump the Z-95's up to Black Sun Soldiers. This gets your entire squad at the same PS. A couple of Zs can fire first to knock off a couple of shields to makes sure the crits from the Proton Torpedo get through if you need them to.

If you drop 1 Z-95 you can afford to put Feedback Arrays on everything and have 3 points to left to play with.

I've recently started list building not by ships but by blocks of points and function. For example: 3 Talas with Conc or Clusters is 51 points. They fill the role of heavy alpha strike and blockers vs Aces. Now what can I do with the other 49 pts that compliments that? It's an interesting and different way to list build.
