Fun with HWK

By Browncoat50, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I know this probably won't be competitive, but for casual play this looks interesting.

Poe Dameron (PS8)

Intensity, BB8, Autothrusters, comm relay (40)

Jan Ors

Wired, TLT, Pulsed Ray Shield, saboteur (36)

Airen Cracken

Predator, VT (24)

100

Seems like Poe can run on his own with a little help from Jan. Jan can keep targets back with tlt and then recover a shield when needed and hopefully saboteur keeps enemy's away from range 1.

I can drop cracked for 2 bandits or a rookie pilot with M9-G8 and integrated astromech

You really need primed thrusters on Poe to make him shine. Otherwise he suffers from an extreme vulnerability to stress. If you swap out the comm relay (which is pointless, by the way) for primed thrusters and the black one title, you can beef up Jan.

Jan's got too many point invested for a ship that can - and will - die in the first round of combat. When running a TLT, Jan really wants predator to make it deadlier.

Airen will never do real damage, so Predator is very wasted. VI is a good choice on him, to ensure he shoots before other ships and gives his action. Again, you get more points for Jan, or a change of escort - perhaps to a Zeb attack shuttle with a second TLT, just to up the firepower.

Ive been Looking at Nien with Pulseshield for Janors. Since Nien makes the ionmove green, u can clear the stress imideatly.
