Let's Talk Jabba

By Epixca, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, I did a simmilar post, asking about the worth of Jabba. Today, I need every Scum, Imperial, and Rebel players alike, to come together. The goal, make a competitive Jabba list. Let me get things started. Here is my most recent idea.

-Bossk (35)

Veteran Instincts (1)

"Mangler" Cannon (4)

-Jabba the Hutt (5)

-Cikatro Vizago (0)

-EMP Device (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)

-Boba Fett (39)

Adaptability (0)

-Dengar (3)

Glitterstim (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)

-99 Points

Pretty straight forward. Bossk clears a path while Boba comes into range 1. Boba gets 1 or 2 re-rolls while moving in. Once in range 1, can just focus every round, since he will be re-rolling like a boss. Bossk has some leeway, he can EMP twice or EMP once and trade out for something else.

Also, side note. If Jabba gets destroyed, can you still use your tokens?

Anyways, ready, set, go!

So, to contribute to this thread here is my fun idea for a Jabba list. I actually like the idea of it to the point I will try it when I get the ROC:

Trandoshan Slaver - YV666 - Jabba, Dengar, Concussion Missiles, Guidance Chips, Scavenger Crane (43pts)

N'dru Suhlak - Z95 - Cluster Missiles, Guidance Chips, Scavenger Crane, Lone Wolf (25pts)

Talonbane Cobra - Kship - Vectored Thrusters, Glitterstim (32pts)

100pts total.

And then try to keep recycling those missiles...

This is actually nice since those Cranes won't always auto drop either. Based on percentages, you should get ~6 uses out of it rather than ~3, and that's value. It also stops you from using it and losing it once with bad luck.

And Double glitters Talonbane is just fun.

I am going to see if my buddy will let me proxy Jabba so I can actually try this list out. It looks fun, but it also looks frail...
