Horton/Biggs/???. Looking for some tips.

Been looking at a loaded up Y-Wing. Basically cos im feeling some early wave Nostalgia and came up with this.

Horton Salm

  • TLT
  • Bomb Loadout
  • Thermal Detonators
  • R2-D6
  • Vectored Thrusters
  • Expertise

Biggs Darklighter

  • Integrated Astromech
  • R4-D6

Now this leaves me with 33 points spare and im struggling to find something i like. I'm definitely leaning towards Sabine being involved to get the most out of that bomb but i cant build a decent K-Wing with 33 points. Best i could come up with is...

Warden Squadron

  • Cluster Mines
  • Sabine Wren
  • Extra Munitions
  • Advanced Slam

I was also looking at a U-Wing. Specifically this one...

Blue Squadron Pathfinder

  • FCS
  • Sabine
  • Cluster Mines
  • Pivot Wing
  • Extra Munitions

What i could really do with is a solid Damage Dealer, one maybe not so reliant on Biggs that comes in at 34 points or less. Possibly even 32 so Horton can have Engine Upgrade. Any suggestions?

For some reason i had BTL on Horton like a dumbass

How about this?

Tycho Celchu — A-Wing 26
Rage 1
Chardaan Refit -2
Opportunist 4
Autothrusters 2
A-Wing Test Pilot 0
Ship Total: 31

OR this:

Wedge Antilles — X-Wing 29
Push the Limit 3
BB-8 2
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 34


Wedge with BB8 and push the limit: Choose a green maneuver, barrel roll, push for a second action. Assign stress. Perform green maneuver to clear stress. Perform another action. Shoot with target lock and focus and Defender gets one fewer green due to Wedge's ability.

Or a cheap E-wing with R2-D2 and draw their fire. I like this because you can protect your team mate with draw their fire and then regen next round. With biggs in the mix i think it would be pretty good.

Is Horton not good enough to have a native EPT?

They always seem careful to not put EPT's on Rebel Bombers. Neither the Y or K wings have them though at least the Y has access through the Astromech.

I ran this similar list at the Naboo System Open and went 4-3. My losses were due mostly to being outflown pretty hard, it was my first tournament and I had only been playing for about 2 months, so it may actually do better than my performance.

K-Wing: •Miranda Doni (58)
Advanced SLAM (2)
Cluster Mines (4)
Conner Net (4)
Ion Bombs (2)
•Sabine Wren (2)
Homing Missiles (5)

Seismic torpedo (2)
Twin Laser Turret (6)

Y-Wing: •Horton Salm (41)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Bomb Loadout (0)
