Talonbane/fenn list

By Amsslumb1103, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Here is my first draft of my talonbane and fenn list.

Kihraxz Fighter: · Talonbane Cobra (28)

Expose (4)

Stealth Device (3)

· Cloaking Device (2)

Protectorate Starfighter: · Fenn Rau (28)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Stealth Device (3)

Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Protectorate Starfighter: · Old Teroch (26)

Stealth Device (3)

Concord Dawn Protector (1)

It's pretty straight forward. All 3 are built to survive long enough to get in range 1 and wreck face. Fenn and Teroch shoot up the board to get in range 1 first. Teroch strips tokens then fenn attacks with potentially 5 dice. Talonbane comes in behind to mop up whats left whilst fenn and

teroch move onto the next target.

Or at least thats what i hope it will do. My history in list building isn't the best.

Expose (4)

I'm going to stop you there. At the very least swap this for Predator. You'll have a slightly lower damage ceiling, but much higher accuracy. It's also action-independent and will leave your Agility intact.

Definitely agree with this. With the spare point I'd swop Cobra's stealth device for an engine upgrade, make sure he can drop into range 1 of his target.

I think Stealth is good on ships with already high agility. Drop it for something better. I like putting Crackshot and Glitterstim on him, along with Engine Upgrade to get in close.

Cheers guys. Will definitely swap out expose. But i find without stealth device cobra just doenst last long enough to do any real damage. Im hoping that my opponent will focus on fenn and teroch whilst cobra creeps up from the side.

Don't discount the number of times engine upgrade will move you out of arc. Much better not to be shot at at all...

Yo Amsslumb, if you want talonbane to survive, give him cloaking device for 2 points and have him lead from the front. Everyone will shoot at him but he might have 4-6 evade die. Cheers

This is what I would do with the 3 ships you listed.

Kihraxz Fighter: · Talonbane Cobra (28)
Crack shot (1) or Lone Wolf (2)
Engine upgrade (4)
· Glitterstim (2) or Cloaking Device (2)

(pair crack + stim or LW and Cloaking)

Protectorate Starfighter: · Fenn Rau (28)
Push the limit (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Protectorate Starfighter: · Old Teroch (26)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Total 99-100 pts.
