Y wing Scum question

By Boxeywow, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Kavil - When attacking a ship outside of your firing arc, roll one additional attack die.

Upgrade card - dorsal turret (if the target of this attack is at a range one, roll 1 additional attack die.

Question: does this mean you will roll 4 attack die if the target is out side of your firing arc and is also at range 1?

Yes.

Thanks.

Throw opportunist on him and you have the potential to make that 5 dice at range one.

Attanni mindlink, blaster turret. Roll 4 dice at range 2 as well, plus a 2nd focus from the mindlink, plus a target lock from the agromech.

Works very well with Palob (with mindlink, Dengar crew, and blaster turret as well) and Manaroo (title, if you wish but not quite enough points for her to also have an agromech).

2 × 3dice turrets and one 4 dice, all with focus and 2 with rerolls. And sometimes with spare focus tokens for defence too.

My current favourite squad.

I tried that variation at one point. Carnor Jax shuts it down. Though I have been thinking about dropping TLT on Palob and going to blaster turret, myself.

Partially. I usually have Manaroo in the middle, flanked by the other two. So Carnor can only shut off one of them at a time - however, you are right in that he makes it very hard! Mind you, turrets in general don't far well against stealthy interceptors with autothrusters, so the list isn't the very best to fly in a tournament.

For casual matches, it's fun and can defeat triple U-boats some of the time, at least. And losing to Carnor can be fun too.

Dropping Kavil back to a dorsal turret might be ok, that would allow Manaroo to have her agromech and reduce the infuence of Carnor Jax.

I've been running Manaroo with unhinged and k4 with antipursuit lasers. All the action economy. TLT Palob with Dengar and mindlink destroys stealthy aces. Takes him two to three turns, but it's hard for them to avoid his shots.
