The Dumbest List ... Ever?

By dfoglein00, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Recently, I introduced a friend of mine to X-Wing, and he really loves playing with lists that are a lot of fun. He recently ran a scum list with Boba, upgraded with four bombs and a Dead Man's Switch. That kind of fun. Lol.

In attempting to help him come up with a list, I came across an interesting idea... three TIE Bombers. Then, with a little bit of help, I may have just come up with the dumbest list ever that would be a lot of fun to play with. Mainly because everything would die in the first two turns. You might even blow up the table you're playing on.

So, what do you think? Is the the dumbest list ever? Have you come up with worse? I'm really just hoping to share the good laugh that I had with anyone who reads this.

Here's the list:

Gamma Squadron Veteran — TIE Bomber
Deadeye
Extra Munitions
Proton Rockets
Homing Missiles
Proximity Mines
Guidance Chips
Ship Total: 33
Gamma Squadron Veteran — TIE Bomber
Deadeye
Extra Munitions
Proton Rockets
Homing Missiles

Proximity Mines

Guidance Chips
Ship Total: 33
Gamma Squadron Veteran — TIE Bomber
Deadeye
Extra Munitions
Proton Rockets
Homing Missiles
Proximity Mines
Guidance Chips

Ship Total: 33

Krassis Trelix with Slave-1, Ion Cannon, Ion Bombs, Ion Pulse Missiles, Ion Torpedoes, and Ion Projector.

Season to taste.

That's hilarious! I love it.

I tried a triple Gamma squad once or twice. Each one had Proton Rockets, Proton Torpedoes, Proton Bombs, Extra Munitions, and Guidance Chips. It's 96 points, so you could bump them all to Veterans with Adaptability or Trick Shot.

I like yours better, defoglein00, but it's fun to get all those Proton weapons going.

I've run two but not three. I ran this for a while as my anti-Defender list:

"Whisper" — TIE Phantom 32
Veteran Instincts 1
Fire-Control System 2
Hotshot Co-pilot 4
Advanced Cloaking Device 4
Ship Total: 43
Gamma Squadron Veteran — TIE Bomber 19
Deadeye 1
Extra Munitions 2
Homing Missiles 5
Ion Bombs 2
Guidance Chips 0
Ship Total: 29
Gamma Squadron Veteran — TIE Bomber 19
Deadeye 1
Extra Munitions 2
Homing Missiles 5
Guidance Chips 0
Ship Total: 27

2 x Wild Space Fringer w/HLC, Gunner and Prockets would be the dumbest list ever.

Or one of the dumbest ever.

One naked z-95 would be the dumbest list ever.

Though, actually, whisper with EI, Rage and Electronic Baffles would. It can literally commit suicide on turn 1.

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (82)
VT-49 Decimator (46), Expertise (4), Proton Bombs (5), Gunner (5), Gunner (5), Gunner (5), Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6), Dauntless (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

“Youngster” (18)
TIE Fighter (15), Swarm Leader (3)

That's about as dumb as I can make a full 100 points without going into turretless HWK swarms with Scavenger Crane...

Hera on Miranda is a good start for a dumb Rebel list.

I just saw "Gunner (5), Gunner (5), Gunner (5)" and literally laughed out loud.

This also would be pretty stupid. However, if you flew just one of them in a list with the title, that ship could do A LOT of damage.

You did inspire me to play around in my squad builder...

Soften 'em up! (100)

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (22) - TIE Bomber
Concussion Missiles (4), Extra Munitions (2), Long-Range Scanners (0)

Gamma Squadron Veteran (26) - TIE Bomber
Deadeye (1), Concussion Missiles (4), Extra Munitions (2), Guidance Chips (0)

Gamma Squadron Veteran (26) - TIE Bomber
Deadeye (1), Concussion Missiles (4), Extra Munitions (2), Guidance Chips (0)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

PSSST Gunner does nothing on a ship with the title; a ship with the title has the primary weapon disabled...

Suicide Squad (99)

Echo with Rage, Electronic Baffle, Experimental Interface, and Vader to put the nail in the coffin.

Major Rhymer using Assult Missles with Engine Upgrade to ensure range 1 and Extra Munitions in case

Deathfire dropping Proton Bombs twice with Extra Munitions daring to draw double Direct Hits!

Beautiful synergy!! I like the use of Rage, EBaff, and EI so much I was inspired to make my own using that self-killer instinct! I only added Vader for mutually insured destruction and some self contained R1 bombers.

You don't need Vader for the final nail, you just k turn.
