9 attack dice

By Ccwebb, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I saw this video on Facebook (sorry if someone already posted it):

Here is the list:

ARC Nora, Swarm Leader, Title, Alliance Overhaul, R7-T1, Finn, Expermental Interface. -43 points

ARC Shara Bey, R3 Astrometric, Title, adability (assume) - 30 points

HWK-290 Jan Ors, Cool Hand - 26 points

99 point squad

9 attack dice was: Norra (2 dice) + Title + Range 1 + Shara's target lock (focus result) + Fin (blank result) + swarm leader (2 evades added) + Jan WITH Nora still having her target lock and focus to modify.

Added Fin and Adability

How did Shara shoot before Norra? Norra has the higher pilot skill. Adaptability to increase PS by 1? Also, I'm assuming Finn is Norra's crew member. Wasn't listed above, but the points work out to 43 including Finn.

Good catch on both. I assume adabailty was used and yes, Fin was crew.

That's pretty impressive. I have a max 8 dice list that may require less chance to hit than this one does:

Max Dice (99)

"Zeb" Orrelios (13) - TIE Fighter


Ahsoka Tano (21) - TIE Fighter
Veteran Instincts (1), Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Rey (2)

Jan Ors (35) - HWK-290
Swarm Tactics (2), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Moldy Crow (3)

Ezra Bridger (30) - Attack Shuttle
Swarm Leader (3), Finn (5), Targeting Computer (2)

Jan gives Ezra PS8 to shoot first (4 at range one). Ezra takes an evade from Zeb and Ashoka (5 & 6). Jan gives Ezra an additional dice (7). Finn adds a blank (8). Ezra's action was either a focus or Target Lock, and Ashoka gives him the other action with a focus she has saved up with Rey. Edit: I put the Ion turret on Jan to help Ezra get a range one shot on someone.

There it is! The best I could figure out for 9 dice Norra was a 120pt list. This is single use, but it does fit in 100pt. Thanks for the post :)

I am interested to see how the rest of the March played out. Jan, without a turret, and 2 ARCs vs Nien Numb and whatever B-wing. I'd focus fire on Jan next.

@jwilliamson12 here's another 8-die for you to try, it's a bit more durable than the one you posted:

(22) TIE Fighter: •Ahsoka Tano (19)
•Captured TIE (1)
•Sabine's Masterpiece (1)
Veteran Instincts (1)
•Rey (2)

(29) HWK-290: •Jan Ors (25)
Decoy (2)
•Jyn Erso (2)

(35) U-Wing: •Cassian Andor (27)
Pivot Wing (Attack) (0)
•Swarm Leader (3)
•Finn (5)

TIE Fighter: •Captain Rex (14)

Total: 100/100

Sadly I've never win a game with it :(

I'd go for Norra. Jan may help give the other two dice, but it has no offensive benefit of its own. Norra's ability to add results and reroll is too deadly to leave on the board.

Two Arcs against two T70's is interesting. I'd give the edge to the arc's, especially if one of the T-70s got one-shot.
