Our flgs has a casual event planned for Sunday and I'd like some suggestions for an easy rebel squad. Preferably a 4 ship squad. Any ideas?

This has been pretty fun to fly.

Some old school fun

Dagger Squadron Pilot (25) x 4
B-Wing (24), Tractor beam (1)

Thanks guys! I was looking for something a little different than "normal" and you've given me some good ideas!

Fickle, I've never been a trend setter or follower and my OCD demands a 4 ship build or I get cranky. And constipated. ;-)

This is interesting. Haven't had a chance to use tractor beams yet. Just might have to break them out for Sunday. Thanks!

Experience says tractor beams are really situational and most of the time you are better off firing your main attack.

Just take ships with no upgrades.. there are plenty of 24 point Rebel ships

Just take ships with no upgrades.. there are plenty of 24 point Rebel ships

I actually considered that and still might. But it's always nice to have a little something extra available. Whether it's an ept, droid or something that goes "boom" doesn't matter. Just a little icing on the cake.

Biggs r4d6 IA

2x Tala concussion missile GC

40 points left for whatever floats your beans. I like dtf Wes a bunch. He does fun things. Also the r3a2 x wings(t70s) are a fun alternative ship that fits in to 4 ship builds.

My favorite rebel list right now:

Vrill + Autoblaster cannon + zeb + apl

3x Awing + crackshot + adaptability + at

3-1 record so far. Fly vrill straight into opponent and block and autoblast em. Ive erased a brobot in one turn. OL is easy pickings. Fun four ship list. Just need to block constantly.

Unsung Heros

Hobbie: R3-A2 Integrated

Dutch: ion turret

Blout: advances homing missiles

Tarn: r7 integrated

Heres an anti swarm list thats pretty fun

99 points

26 points

• Airen Cracken

Z-95 Headhunter

Cluster Missiles

Predator

Guidance Chips

37 points

• Tycho Celchu

A-Wing

A-Wing Test Pilot

Assault Missiles

Push the Limit

Autothrusters

Rage

18 points

Tala Squadron Pilot #1

Z-95 Headhunter

Assault Missiles

Guidance Chips

18 points

Tala Squadron Pilot #2

Z-95 Headhunter

Assault Missiles

Guidance Chips

Just gotta stay at range 2 for the initial engagement so Cracken can pass two target locks to the Tala's with his clusters. Then its bye bye enemy fleet!

IMHIO (in my humble Imperial opinon) These guys are mandatory:

Biggs + integrated astro + R7 droid (26pts)

Blount + any missile preferably advanced homing (20pts)

ANY OTHER rebel ships up to 54pts!

EPTS, droids, and "booms" you say??

How bout this:

Outer Rim Smuggler, "Chopper", Zeb, Antipursuit Lasers(30)

Green Squadron Pilot + A-Wing Test Pilot + Chardaan Refit + Intimidation + Crack Shot (20)

Green Squadron Pilot + A-Wing Test Pilot + Chardaan Refit + Intimidation + Crack Shot (20)

Warden Squadron Pilot, Extra Munitions, Sabine, Thermal Detonators (30)

Call it something cute, like "Free Hugs, Range 1 or Closer"

Two fully-loaded K's: Miranda and Esege. Drop some mofoing B's on them.

Tala Squadron Pilot (13)

Fickle, had my first game with Red Vets last night and I did find myself talon and k turning a lot. Do you rate this build for them?

I had a pair with a Lothal Rebel:, ABT, FCS, Hera

I had them built with Autos, R2 and Crackshot tho. Wasn't sure on Autos.

That's the best rebel 4 ship list I can come up with fir the current meta.

The Biggs/Wes/Stresshog combo fights Jumpmasters and messes up their alpha strike.,, then the bandit blocks.

Wes has some reposition capability and a very high PS to have some effectiveness against aces, and if you can catch one in arc, the Stresshog is always fantastic against aces. Plus, even if they get behind it, that little Seismic means you're not completely out of the fight, and people always forget about it.

Against crackswarms... Yeah, you'll struggle against swarms. Best bet is to try to hit as many as you can with the bomb, and hope that the initial engagement doesn't kill Biggs... Though it probably will, being crack swarms. If not, you get a solid chance if PS killing a TIE fighter every round, then it's more or less down to dice and skill (and the overall makeup of the enemy swarm).

Still, two out of three ain't bad, right?

my personal opinion of T-70s is made a little less credible due to how unreasonably I love the model and the T-roll, but here goes

I flew red vets a lot before, and while I wouldn't say they're competitive (scouts, man) I do think Crackshot TA integrated is the "best" way to fly them

before, I had them packing predator thrusters. Even in the era of TLTs, 2 dice thrusters let attacks slide through constantly and predator barely amounted to much.

Turned out, I was flying the T-70s very aggressively and, even when I didn't, their lower pilot skill meant that the enemy would almost always be too close for thrusters regardless. Combine that with the irresistible urge to sometimes boost-block and then closing the distance to set up red maneuvers, and it wasn't long before I got rid of thrusters. On average, they'd cancel about the exact same damage as Integrated except they cost points to do so

As for ept, I mean just look at my name. Fickle dice go both ways, but generally bad for me and amazingly for my opponent. On most generics (re: not scouts), Crackshot is auto-include when available imo no matter what you're up against. I've ended up firing both of the crackshots against freaking GHOSTS , that's how much green dice love to spite me

Obviously biased, so take that with a grain of salt.

finally, Targeting Astro. It's there more because I had room and because I love t-rolling. I maintain that the upgrade should have been one **** point due to how situational it is, but I gotta say it comes up an awful lot (the TL I mean; sometimes the re-rolls just end up with the same **** hit results you started with but that's life, eh?)

the T-70 is the platform for Targeting, due to the appreciable abundance of 3 red maneuvers

so, if you're flying Red Vets, that's about the build I'd use

for T-70s in general, though, it obviously varies. I still put thrusters on Asty and Poe

Just take ships with no upgrades.. there are plenty of 24 point Rebel ships

I actually considered that and still might. But it's always nice to have a little something extra available. Whether it's an ept, droid or something that goes "boom" doesn't matter. Just a little icing on the cake.
