Support for Fenn

By Arcana57, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have two different lists, both using Fenn, and am looking for some input.

First

Fenn Rau- Fearlessness, Concord Dawn and Stealth Device

Old Teroch- Fearlessness, Concord Dawn and Stealh Device

Torkil Mux- Moldy Crow, Tactician, Ion Turret, Shield Upgrade, Cloaking Device

Second

Fenn Rau- Push the Limit, Concord Dawn, Stealth Device, Advanced Proton Torpedos

2x Tansarii Point Vets- Heavy Scyk, Mangler Cannon, Hull Upgrade and Predator

Both lists have done well. The Cloaking Device in the first list is so Torkil can get back into the battle if everyone passes by him. The APT in the second list is mostly filler and plants a bigger target on Fenn while the two Scyks cause chaos.

I like the second list more. Maybe because I really am digging the M3As after the FAQ. I would change it up a bit I know you said it was successful but I have a few changes that could help the damage output while upping the defense, at the same time keeping the list true to its core structure.

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Stealth Device (3)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Attanni Mindlink (1)

Fenn Rau (28)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Total: 98

I switched the EPTs to Attanni - helps with dice mods and action economy. Swapped the hulls for stealths on the Sycks, now they have 4 greens and 5 at range, just like an imperial Interceptor! Not a lot of reds on those dials, just no K-turns in formation. Swapped stealth device for autothrusters on Fenn. All those points allowed the manglers to upgrade to HLCs. Too much change?

I like the change however I have not had much luck with HLCs. I will give it a shot sometime soon and let ya know how it goes. The buff to the M3A after the last FAQ was a game changer for them. The worst thing you can do with a Scyk now is give it a EPT, title and a mod other than hull or shield upgrade. Too bad you still can't put auto thrusters on then haha.

Needs more Mindlink definitely. If you modify your first list to have ML on Terry and Fenn then bring in Palob instead of Mux then you'll be cooking with gas. I still like Manny in that situation but Palob could be some good fun.

Fenn (Mindlink, AT, Title) 32 points

Here are 3 options for the other 68 points...

1. Old Teroch (Mindlink, AT, Title) and Manaroo (Mindlink, K4, Unhinged, Slicers, Plasma Torps, Chips)

2. Palob (TLT, Mindlink, Moldy Crow, Cloaking Device, Stygium, Intel) and Manaroo (Mindlink, K4, Unhinged, Feedback)

3. Asajj (Latts, Mindlink) and Manaroo (Mindlink)
