Stress-Wing

By wfain, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was thinking yesterday about trying to make B-Wings work a little better and I thought about combining Flechette Cannon and Tactician to generate double stress. Then I decided to try to come up with a list around the idea.

STRESS-WING

100 points

PILOTS

Eaden Vrill (38)
YT-2400 Freighter (32), Flechette Cannon (2), Bistan (2), Smuggling Compartment (0), Tactical Jammer (1), Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

Dagger Squadron Pilot (31) x 2
B-Wing (24), Fire-Control System (2), Flechette Cannon (2), B-Wing/E2 (1), Tactician (2)

The plan would be to fly the B-Wings at separate targets and attempt to get them in the range 2 double stress zone while Eaden flies in from the side and either stresses someone else or shoots a now 3 dice primary turret w/ Bistan helping out. If the opponent is formation flying you could race out with Eaden to set up blocks and use tactical jammer to protect your B-Wings. Any thoughts?

Don't you need the Outrider title to shoot the cannon as a turret on the YT-2400?

Yes, but you aren't trying to shoot it as a turret. You're hoping the B-Wings stress someone then Eaden gets +1 primary weapon die.

Bistan is pretty junk imo

he doesn't actually improve your damage output, only gives you crits if you hit through green dice

for 2 points, imo, you're vastly better off with Rey. Gives you action efficiency via tokens, allowing you full mods on your turret by using a TL action

Sorry, the builder dropped BMST off Eaden, which is why I chose a crew which does not require action use to be helpful.

Rey doesnt require actions either provided you load her in advance
