Fennguroo

By mastodonTXDM, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Im a newish player (only played against a couple of friends), but I finally got to go out to my LGS and fly against some good opponents. Just casual play, but I went undefeated with this list, and only lost 1 ship (Fenn Rau) in 1 of my matches. There is a Hangar Bay tournament coming up and it will be my first tourney, and I'm thinking about taking this list as one of the lists for the tourney. Critiques welcome!

Attani Mindlink. So hot right now.

I would swap Guri's Advanced Sensors for Fire Control System. Change Manaroo's Recon Specialist to K4, and give Manaroo Unhinged Astro. More dice mods.

This looks like a fun list to run for a casual game.

This list went to the finals at the recent Toronto Regional. Set up was a little different.

Definitely going to try this, gives the list even more synergy. The only thing that sucks is that, Advanced Sensors was key in keeping Guri in great position for defense and offense. Her dial is not the best.

Watched all these matches the other night, after I had already built my list. I was surprised that someone had a similar idea. Not sure if he got his money's worth with Collision Detector and BMST imo. But of course they don't have all his matches, posted up.

BMST is one point and works as a deterrent to PtL. It never hurts to have it.

I love this idea. Starvipers have always been my favorite ship.

Im going to go casual play again tomorrow night and will run this variant will post up my results.

Well, it eats up a slot & costs a point... And requires an action to trigger.

If you don't have all of those in excess, I'd argue that it hurts a rather lot to have it.

In this instance, I'd have looked into getting FCS over Collision Detector, and dropping BMST is halfway there for points. I haven't looked at the full list to see if there's any additional fat to trim, though I suspect there isn't.

Advanced Sensors won't work if Guri gets stressed, which is much more likely in a Mindlink list. Stress in-and-of itself isn't bad, but it certainly makes AS feel like a waste of points. I'd agree that FCS is the way to go for that slot, and it frees up a point.
