Chewie [HotR] lists

By wurms, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trying to make a decent Chewie HotR list. Im not thrilled on the Chewie with 4 Z's, as its not incentive enough for the enemy to not shoot Chewie.

The obvious is Biggs, as it guarantees a second shot with the walking carpet.

List 1

Chewie (42)

Predator (3)

Recon Spec (3)

48pts

Biggs (25)

R4-D6 (1)

IA

26pts

Thane (26)

Chopper (0)

Title

26pts

Shoot biggs, kill biggs, get chewie his double tap. Shoot chewie, thane gets full mod shots back. Kill thane first, Chewie gets another double tap. If thane has 1hp left, he can red maneuver and kill himself, to give Chewie a shot in activation phase. 0pts, I will take it :P Predator on chewie for obvious reasons, and recon spec for when that double tap comes you are ready, also helps on defense a bit.

List 2

Chewie (42)

Predator (3)

Recon Spec (3)

Jan Ors (2)

50pts

Rebel Operative (16)

TLT (6)

Recon Spec(3)

25pts

Rebel Operative (16)

TLT (6)

Recon Spec(3)

25pts

Chewie can recon spec and get an evade early on, so if they target him first, he survives longer for TLTs to do their thing and peck away. If TLTs are targetted, he can double focus when they are low on health for double tap and they can benefit from Jans evade. Endgame with Chewie he gets focus, evade, and predator mods.

So, thats what I came up with. I recently played a Party Bossk with Mux and Palob with TLT and recon spec, and it was an extremely tough matchup I barely survived. Rebel Ops arent Palob and Mux, but double focus TLTs are no fun, and being only 5hps is incentive to kill em quickly.

Do.t go that way... Even if a ship has only 1 hull left in many cases it may save your ass. Sacrificing him to get a shot in activation phase is not that good. Of course it will be only one shot and since Biggs is down, I see no reason to shot at Thane until I get the bigger problem resolved.

That is a lot of sacrifice for just 2 shots in the end. I do no see this skill as very effective.
