Bump n Grind

By Lake, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Posted at

Just picked up a VCX-100 and I'm trying to put together a list for tomorrow evening. It's casual play, but I'm sure people will be running their tournament lists for practice. How can I improve this setup?

VCX-100:

Chopper - 37 points (Gives enemy bumped ships 1 stress) PS 4

Ghost Title - 0

Zeb Orrelios - 1

Dash Rendar - 2

Adv. Proton Torpedoes - 6

Extra Munitions - 2

Ion Cannon Turret - 5

Attack Shuttle:

Ezra - 20 points PS 4

Phantom title

Hera Syndulla - 1

Dorsal Turret - 3

PTL - 3

Now, I'm open to suggestion for ship 3. This is what I was thinking:

HWK-290 with Roark (19 points, PS 4) to get the Ghost's PS up to 12 and shoot first

OR

Lose PTL on the shuttle and go with Dutch Vander to give free target locks to the Ghost.

OR

This probably all sucks, so what do you guys think?

Ezra is similar to Tycho if you pair him with Hera in that he doesn't give a crap about stress. I'd give him an EPT like wired or Lone Wolf then you can maneuver with no limitations.

Ezra Bridger (20)
Wired (1)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Hera Syndulla (1)
Phantom (0)
The other thing I might remove is the torpedoes. You're paying a lot for two very good attacks but if you have them in range one your primaries are going to roll the same dice. and presumably you'd still have the target lock and focus token to modify that you'd need for advanced anyways. This way you free up a lout of points for the escort who you definitely need.
