Faction Builds for beginners?

By clanofwolves, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have a few friends and Nephews that are testing the X-wing waters with my ships. I'm kinda feeling like the local dealer letting the guys try a few out on the house. Anyway, future addiction possibilities set aside, I need help giving them a 100 point list that is easy to get your feet wet. I'm trying to come up with durable, easy to fly lists. Problem is, when it's my ideas, I get the inevitable feedback from those who trusted me and they complain....if I flip them a printed list from the forum, I have a deflector shield and we can have fun while b***hing about a list done by a user name on a forum, right??? Good plan I think, haha!!

In your assistance, please note that I have most all ships up thru wave 7 and many multiples of most of the small ships that really count in the lore; I also have (one of each) larger Firespray, Lambda, Falcon, Decimator, YT-2400 and, as far as cards go, I have most plus those that come with the Transport, Gozanti, and Raider.

Thanks, thanks, thanks guys! ....pressure gets released now I hope....YAY!

It comes down to how raw of a beginner they are and how quickly they take to the main principles of the game. But here's some lists that might be uncomplicated for beginners, not promising they'll be any good though.

---------

Rebels

---------

1) simple and straight forward, not much to say.

2) a bit more complicated, but can teach ship synergy and arc dodging.

Empire

---------

1) classic Soontir as everyone should be familiar with him, also shows card effects complimenting pilot abilies with Boba + Navigator and incentivising them to do it with Outmaneuver (remember Axilary arcs still count as firing arcs).
