Rebel Hodgepodge - Horton, Ezra and Miranda

By BCooper85, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys,

For fun over the weekend I flew the following list twice:

Ezra with ICT, Rage and IR

Horton with VT and TLT

Miranda with HM, TLT, GC and Chopper(because he's free!)

Does anyone have thoughts on this? If I flew it again I would take the HM off Miranda as that made me want to joust when I should be skirting with the TLT. Otherwise I really enjoyed flying it.

The Phantom build is entirely too funny for my own good. Rage for Focus and free rerolls, then Ezra ability for defence, then Inspiring Recruit to do it all again. And I very much appreciate that you decided to put the Ion turret on it. I love Ion tokens, especially against Defenders, but it's amazingly effective for crippling anyone.

Miranda likes to be fat though, so I would probably drop her altogether, and put Expertise on Horton with R2-D6. Then Horton can mod Focus and reroll blanks on all TLT shots. Then you only need to use his action to Barrel Roll, letting him stay within TLT range, and out of trouble.

With two turrets rolling around, I would throw in something with a firing arc. Probably Discount Poe (Luke w/ R2-D2, PtL, IA), or Thane Kyrell with R2-D2 & C-3PO. It's 35 points to play around with as you will, and that's enough for a discount rebel ace. Thane Kyrell is the more attractive option, because of the rear firing arc, and you can give him Vectored Thrusters if you aren't interested in a point bid. Whatever you choose, I would recommend putting R2-D2 on it, to help it last against the other turrets in the game.
