Han + Red Ace

By DerrKaTer, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi!

What do you guys think about this list?

98 pts

Han Solo (probably rebel but you can go with resistance)

Lone Wolf + Finn + Rey + Engine Upgrade + Sloop Title

Red Ace

R2-D2 + Comms Relay + Autothrusters

You basically want to stack tokens on Rey and use Finn for those 5 dice attacks and nice defence. Red Ace is mainly for strong endgame.

I like it.

This is how I might run it (I'm not sure it's better, just different).

61 Han Solo (either version)

YT-1300 (46)

title (S-Loop) (1)

Lone Wolf (2)

Luke Skywalker (7)

Finn (5)

39 Red Ace

T-70 X-Wing (29)

The Black One (1)

Comm Relay (3)

R2-D2 (4)

Vectored Thrusters (2)

I might be inclined to swap out Vectored Thrusters for Integrated Astromech or Autothrusters, but I really like the barrel roll.

Black One title cannot be used on pilots of PS6 or below.

If you are going to use Finn, I would be tempted to take Rey as the Falcon pilot as the 2 synergise far better than any other pilot.

The only reason why i did't use Rey (pilot) is that i wanted to use Rey (crew) so bad :) Actually Falcon Really wants to have all those focus when firing big Finn attacks and I just can't imagine flying Rey.. Probably she should be something like:

Rey

VI + Finn + Recon Specialist + Cargo + Counter Measures + Glitterstim + Sloop title

and go for full joust dengaroo style. I am just too afraid of running falcon without any reposition. Technically we could give rey Expert Handling (like THE OLD falcon used to fly) and Kanan instead of Recon.

Black One title cannot be used on pilots of PS6 or below.

If you are going to use Finn, I would be tempted to take Rey as the Falcon pilot as the 2 synergise far better than any other pilot.

True. I had forgotten that.

Finn is still quite good on the Rebel version of Han with Lone Wolf, especially with Gunner or Luke. His attack becomes 5 dice at range 1, 4 at range 2-3. But your point is well-taken; Rey + Finn seem to be a good match—almost like they were designed that way. :)
