Need 1 more ship

By Izikial, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi its me again. Still trying to find a way to do scum control and im narrowing down to what i think will work. Now you may laugh. But its 2 a hawks build

Spice runner

Tactician

Ion turret

Glitterstim/black market slicer tools

Tactician and ion lets me lock down either 2 small base or 1 large base ship. The illicit im unsure on, Glitterstim lets me win the first engagement to start suppressing or black market to turn it into damage. Im not sure on what i prefer but i think glitterstims will win out.

That leaves me 50 pts. And i need help on what to fill this with. My list can takle 2 big ships ok and 2 ace lists with a 3rd support ship ok but will struggle against lists that out number me with deadly ships such as swarms. So what should my third ship be. Needs to handle its self ok and be able to duel/delay a big ship or crush/punish a week support ship.

I thought about ketsu to drop agi and punish or maybe latts to help the hwks out and then grind on the remaning ship. But ill still get overrun by swarms. Any thoughts?

Changing the spice into dace and someone els for ept is an option to but i would prefer a more capable 3rd ship

Your main issues are that the HWKs will get destroyed quickly, and there isn't really another ship that can simply win you the game. Knowing this, though, consider that you need a relatively self sufficient ship.

You can kit out Assaj w/ Latts crew (and other upgrades as you prefer), fits into 50 points no problem, doesn't go down too easily, and can help with your control considerations.

Or, you can kit out a (slightly budget) Super Dengar. You wan't be seeing Dengaroo level results, but Dengar can be a pretty tough nut to crack.

Im hopeing glitterstim will help them survive the first assult and also help me land that first ion that will potentialy let me chain hit the enemy from safty.

I do like the idea of dengar cus he can tank stuff well and still put out some hurt. But a punishing one dengar is nearly 50pts as it stands. Asajj might be a good call though. Can tank with latts and 3 die with bmst will start putting out hurt
