Help with 3rd ship in rebel list

By Lobokai, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I just feel like I could get something better for my 3rd ship. Any thoughts?

I don't have any Z95s or Kwings, but everything else rebel and everything Imperial. Limited scum expansions too.

"Leebo" (50) - YT-2400

Calculation (1), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Recon Specialist (3), Outrider (5)

Tycho Celchu (31) - A-Wing

Push The Limit (3), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Experimental Interface (3), Rage (1)

Green Squadron Pilot (19) - A-Wing

Crack Shot (1), Chardaan Refit (-2), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Lightning Reflexes (1)

For 19 points you're actually pretty limited with rebels.

a-wing, z-95, y-wing, attack shuttle.

Unless I missed anything those are the only ships you'll be able to fit into 19 points.

The y-wing is obviously no good because you can't afford any turret for it. The attack shuttle would give you extra attack power, but I'm not sure how well it would keep up with your other ships, and there's not much you can do to upgrade it.

The z-95 would give you a nice missile platform (or another ace), but again I'm not sure if it would keep pace with your other ships.

To be honest, the a-wing is probably the best ship to go here, but you can still play around with the upgrade options a little.

Crack Grn Sqd aint bad.

How stuck are you on Tycho? Get the 28pt Jake build (VI,PTL,AT) and that frees up 3 pts.

For 22pts you have a few more options:

Blue Sqd Bwing

Rookie Xwing

Roark + Dorsel (make Leebo fire first with his big ole cannon)

I've looked at Jake too. I'll definitely think on it. Thanks both of you!
