Hi guys long time miniturea gammer. Looking to pick up x wing. I know i want to use the yv-666 and possibly the punishing one. I like cool synergy over raw stats. What do i need to buy and what is a viable starter list and purchases?

Thanks in advance

First thing is to pick up the Most Wanted box, then the YV-666. I'd also recommend a HWK or two, because the S&V pilots are so much fun for those ships.

You may want to pick up a 2nd Y-Wing as well.

After that... I'd use either Voidstate or Yet Another X-Wing Builder to plan some lists.

With S&V you can't really go wrong with a big ship and a couple little ones, the biggest trick is trying to figure out upgrades that work together.

After you get a feel for the game, a Firespray so you can use Boba Fett (which isn't a great pilot but is iconic if nothing else) and some of the little fighters can help.

I'd avoid picking up more than one or two of most small ships, as S&V doesn't seem to swarm well.

Yes, "Most Wanted" is basically the starter box for the S&V faction - thought you still need the core. MW will give you stuff that will allow you to integrate ships from other factions (such as the glorious HWK) in the S&V faction.

thought you still need the core.

Good point, I guess I assumed the core set, but it's worth pointing out anyway.

Thanks. My brother has a number of core sets so can i nab left over stuff from him and be fine. Im not overly into bobba fet. Im more bossk and dengar, Maybe a 4-lom.

So initial buy list

Most wanted

Yv-666

Hwk

given your original post, add a Jumpmaster 5000 to the list. Per my signature, I love flying the YV-666 and JM5k together, lots of fun

As others have said, use a few of the online tools to view and build fleets and it will tell you what expansions you need to get to complete your loadout.

Welcome to the game, it's a lot of fun

I'd likely stick with that until you get some games in and get a good feel for the game. After that it's really about finding ships you like and upgrades that you want to use.

Thanks guys. This has helped alot. Just got to get to grips with everything now
