My first tournament is tomorrow! How's my list?

By MashedBROTATOES, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey there guys and gals. I just started playing recently and I love it, so I figure I'd take a stab at a friendly tournament at my local game store. Thing is, it's 135 point lists. Here's what I have so far:

YT-2400 (51)

Dash rendarr (36), heavy laser cannon (7), PTL (3), outrider (5)

K-Wing (45)

Miranda doni (29), TLT (6), ion bombs (2), Conner net (4), extra munitions (2), advanced slam (2)

T-70 (38)

Poe Dameron (31), r2-d2 (4), marksmanship (3)

What do you guys think? I'm somewhat interested in trying Biggs instead of Poe. Also considering dropping the xwing and just throwing in a lothal rebel piloting ghost for just a big tank. Thoughts? Concerns? Criticisms?

Bigg's would be better than Poe to mitigate shots on either Dash or Miranda, and would allow you to move some points around...

Do you think I should try Biggs with no upgrades and spent the points elsewhere?

You would need to at least add a droid to Biggs to add the free Integrated Astromech. That way he can take one more hit. The most common is R2D2 and R5D8. If you don't want to spend that much on a droid, put R2 Astromech or R5 Astromech (though this droid is too situational to rely on, but at least it gives you the astromech).

If you're switching to Biggs, I'd have Biggs, R2D2, Integrated Astromech. Add Sabine on Miranda (gives you a third bomb slot - I'd go cluster mines - AND another guaranteed hit for every bomb that detonates). You'll have a few more points to play around with after that. Possibly upgrade your ion bombs to something else.

is it a 100 pts tourney?

Dash is better with engine upgrade, for getting out of range 1. I also suggest Kyle Katarn or Kanaan as crew.

A miranda with bombs benefit from Sabine as crew.

Marksmanship on poe is a wierd one. As it has mindof the same bonus as his abilety.
Swap it for say Predator or veteran instincts.

OP said 135 points.

I agree with Engine Upgrade and Kanan on Dash. Being able to clear stress on 10 possible moves makes him super unpredictable. Super Dash.

Sabine makes Rebel bombing better than any other faction.

Poe and Marksmanship is counter productive. He needs a focus token, and spending your only action on Marksmanship doesn't cut it. Without a focus token he's just an over-priced generic with high pilot skill. Any EPT that doesn't cost him an action is better than Marksmanship. Even bumping him down to PS7 with Adaptability would be superior to depriving him of a focus token.

Maybe something like this. Dropped the bombs on Miranda for an alpha strike plasma missile. Snap can TL Miranda with M9G8. She loads a few focus tokens on Rey. Then moves in, gets a TL, carries over a focus from Rey, fires plasmas, uses ability for 5 dice, gets a reroll with M9 and chips. Should clear the shields off anyone. Then Dash and Snap get to attack :D The M9 bot also makes Miranda's TLTs super deadly along with Rey crew. Snap boosts around keeping TLs off friendlies.

Dash Rendar (36)
Push the Limit (3)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Kanan Jarrus (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Outrider (5)

Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Rey (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

"Snap" Wexley (28)
Veteran Instincts (1)
M9-G8 (3)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Total: 135

I have to say that bombs on Miranda are the way to go. I've lost count how many times I've dropped a Connor net/ seismic charge on my opponents face giving extra damage too from the Sabine. Top quality ship. Added to the consistency of the tlt and her regen ability it's a sweet ship
