Hi all

What is your best thematic list?

Just before we get started, I am looking for lists that work, the don't have to be top tier competitive, but being effectively is good

Bonus points to anyone that incorporates wave IX

Rey + VI, Finn, Chewbacca, New Falcon Title, Smuggling Comaprtment and Burnout SLAM is kinda thematic.

PS9 Poe + PTL, BB-8, AT, Black One and any tech is competitive enough I guess.

Wow HoTR is more thematic that I noticed.....

Death Star Defenders

Darth Vader + TIE/x1 + Predator + Advanced Targeting Computer (33)

"Mauler Mithel" + Squad Leader (19)

"Backstabber" (16)

Black Squadron Pilot + Intimidation (16)

Black Squadron Pilot + Calculation (15)

Very "fluffy" and yet still effective... well... it has been for me. No promise about how it will stand up to current meta but...

F@#% the meta!

Tactics: Fly the PS 7 and PS 3 in formation, break it up during the first engagement and swarm 'em. Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee!

Rule of Two

Darth Vader (29)

You mean only 100 pt lists?

I would like to see any really thematically oriented list. 100 point or Epic.

Classic Rogue Squadron (There are other variants) 99 pts

Wes Janson (29)

Veteran Instincts (1)

R3-A2 (2)

Integrated Astromech (0)

(32)

Wedge Antilles (29)

Push the Limit (3)

R2-D2 (4)

Vector Thrusters (2)

(36)

Tycho Celchu (26)

Chardan Refit (-2)

Push the Limit (3)

Expert Handling (2)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

(29)

I like the manuevering power here more than the old Opprotunist builds. Hold Janson back while Wedge and Tycho are slippery. It's not perfect by any means but it's fun. I have had good success with it despite the fragility. Just try to stay out of multiple arcs if you aren't token stacked and confident of a kill.

Royal Escort

Countess ryad

Carnor jax

Palpmobile

How many points for that hypothetical epic?

Han solo

Stay on target

Chewbacca

C3po

Falcon title

Engine upgrade

Homing missiles

Luke

R2d2

Lone wolf

Integrated Astro

I've had a few movie-accurate lists for a while now. I had my own versions of both sides of the trench run:

Wedge Antilles (PTL, R5-P9, Integrated Astro)

Luke Skywalker (Predator, R2-D2, Integrated Astro)

Biggs Darklighter (R2-F2, Experimental Interface)

And

Darth Vader (VI, TIE/x1, Stealth Device, Adv. Targeting Computer)

Mauler Mithel (PTL, Engine Upgrade)

Backstabber (Twin Ion Engine Mk. II)

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

And I also like

Hera Syndulla (Fire Control System, TLT, Extra Munitions, Proton Torpedoes, Sabine Wren, Recon Specialist, Ghost, Engine Upgrade, Proton Bomb)

Ezra Bridger (PTL, Dorsal Turret, Zeb Orrelios, Phantom, Shield Upgrade)

Hears my BB-Scum list. Has every bounty hunter from Empire Strikes back, except for Dengar (no JM5000).

http://xwing-builder.../566671/bb-scum

Palpshuttle & 2 RGP's (unique or named, as to taste)

Ryad & 2 Glaives (all X7's in order to fit into 100)

StarViper with Black Sun Aces (if you care to repaint) and/or Black Sun Soldiers.

Kath Scarlet & Binyares

(the lists could on, but I suspect I'm cheating on the original brief, and you want more specific upgrade content of said lists...?)

I call it the Ghost's of Yavin.

100pts no upgrades

Jek Porkins

Biggs Darklighter

Garven Dreis

"Dutch" Vander

Another one. Boba, Fenn, and a random Fang pilot.

I like the mobility of Expert Handling, but I have a hard time not giving Tycho Wired.

I like that on him too but I tend to see a lot of ships taking TL as I am in a somewhat turret/missile heavy local meta. Between Wes and EH they never get the chance.

This is my favorite themed list at the moment. It's theme is "All Tie Fighters That Can Boost their Attack Value Above 2". There aren't enough points for PTL on The Inquisitor, but you have 2 points to play around with. Use Juke or VI or something else.

Obsidian Squadron

Vader and all named black squadron pilots.

Vader with ATC, EU, title, elusiveness

Mauler

Backstabber

Dark Curse

Wampa

99 pts

Also a fan of Wedge, Luke, and Biggs kitted out however you like.

I also like this version of the black squadron

I do like this Omega Squadron list I made a while back:

• Omega Leader (21) [26]
  • Juke (2)
  • Comm Relay (3)
• Omega Ace (20) [25]
  • Juke (2)
  • Comm Relay (3)
• Omega Specialist (25)
  • Spec Ops (0)
  • Targeting Synchronizer (3)
  • TIE mk. II (1)
  • Collision Detector (0)
  • Adaptability (0)
• Omega Squadron Pilot (17) [18]
  • Crack Shot (1)

The synergy between Targeting Synchronizer and Omega Ace is fun. Crits for days!
