Lambda builds

By Villan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi allove,

I've been trying to make a useful Lambda build but currently lack the Boost upgraded at the moment so everything I come up with as bee rubbish. Has anyone got any ideas to get me started with this ship please? I have the following and the associated upgrades. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

FA Core

Imp Aces

Rebel Aces

YT-2400

Decimator

TIE/SF

TIE Defender

TIE Interceptor

TIE Bomber

TIE Phantom

TIE Advanced. Prototype

A Wing

B Wing

K Wing

Y Wing

HWK 290

T-70

Lambda

Lambdas with Engine Upgrades aren't that great any more. If you want a really simple but effective Lambda, just put Vader crew on it (and Collision Detector because it's free).

A fairly useful lambda you could make with what you have would be:

Omicron Group Pilot (29)

-Advanced Sensors

-Fleet Officer

-Antipursuit Lasers

If you wanted to save a point you could try tactical jammer instead of the antipursuit lasers. The lambda isn't a perfect ship. It's at best a cheap support platform with a surprisingly effective gun (typically everyone has used all their tokens by the time this 3 die primary shoots). For a cheaper lambda, just follow what obiwanka said above. Really though something nice with the lambda is to build it to play nice with the rest of your squad.

Thanks for the feedback. Was thinking of utting a decimator with it or Fel and another Ace.

I second omnicron with vader. Awesome ship, just make some burst damage and kill yourself, but before you go down, take someone with you ;)

Sensor jammer is also an awesome upgrade on a lambda - esp. with Palpatine crew. It makes it a pain to kill.

Doom Shuttle is great. I like to add electronic baffle as well.

Another fun combo is rebel captive and Mara Jade. Just for some control. You could also put sensor jammer in that for a 31 point moving stress bomb.

ST-321 Title works quite nicely with Vessery as you can paint target locks all over the battlefield for him. You really want the Imperial Veterans though so you have access to the new Tie Defender titles.
