The FO Horesemen of the Apocalypse

By Biophysical, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This is a list I've been messing around with, that I enjoy. It's 2-1 so far in some very swings games (so that record doesn't mean anything). I thought I'd share it here for your consideration. It's basically the occasionally discussed 4xFO list with some of the new cards thrown in.

Omega Leader, Juke, Comm Relay = 26 "Conquest"

Zeta Leader, Swarm Leader, Comm Relay = 26 "War"

Omega Ace, PTL, Comm Relay = 26 "Famine"

Zeta Ace, A Score to Settle, Comm Relay = 21

99 points "Death"

You have to struggle to make the names work for all of them, but it sort of fits with the theme. It's mostly fun to have four reasonably tough, mid-high PS ships that all sort of have their own useful capability. It can really hit like a truck if you get it lined up on someone.

Do you mean Zeta Ace? You've put Zeta Leader down twice. I've played with a 4 FO list, all with Juke and Comm Relay, though, and it was a lot of fun.

Omega leader should be "famine" IMO, he starves people of modifications

Yes, thank you. Zeta Ace has A Score to Settle.

Yeah I considered that as well, I went with Conquest because she wins you the games.

So why'd you give omega ace famine then? That seems kinda like the odd one out, did you just have no other place for famine then?

Sometimes you see Pestilence listed instead of Conquest for the Four Horesmen, in that case Famine goes to Omega Leader for the reasons you mentioned, and Omega Ace gets Pestilence. Still not a great fit, but War works great for Zeta Leader, because he's throwing a ton of dice, and Death works for Zeta Ace because he's the last shot, and that's the one that kills you after you've spent tokens trying to survive the others.
