A Lando list!? Is this crazy??

By cybercat07, in X-Wing Squad Lists

First off, thanks for all of the feedback on my other posts. I really appreciate it!

Secondly and more importantly I have come up with a Lando (pilot) list that could be fun. I would prefer to have the experts pick it apart first before I bring this hunk of junk into a competitive event.

Lando (49 total)

Falcon title

Veteran instincts

Nien Nunb

Jan Ors

Green Squadron pilot (21 total)

A wing test pilot

Crack shot

Push the limit

Chardaan refit

Blue Squadron pilot (30 total)

B wing/E2

Fire control system

Gunner

So I would keep Lando and the B wing close to each other... Hopefully using just green maneuvers so the B wing can get an evade or focus. The A wing will just do as much damage by trying to flank. What do you guys think? Please don't hold back!

Well, I don't really think this is what you were looking for, but it's not going to be competitive, but it looks like a fun list to fly!

I think a single generic B-wing is not good enough heavy hitter to have Lando as an expensive support ship. For 50pts you can get more than a single extra action and there are way better uses for 30pts than a Blue B. Also Green is too low PS to effectively use PtL.

I only hope Lando with couple of supports was a valid list but there are reasons why you only see all the other named Falcon pilots being played.

You can get free actions a lot easier and cheaper with airen cracken or ahsoka. Landos ability is very very outdated and weak. If it worked on himself, thay would be a different story.

I recently flew against a two YT-1300 list with Lando and Resistance Sympathizer that was quite effective. RS had recon specialist and Jan, so he had a focus and an evade every round. Then Lando would green move and give RS a target lock. Lando would usually take an evade. I can't remember Lando's crew but I think he took Nein and operations specialist.

26 hit points is a lot to chew through.

I have tried and tried but can't make a Lando list work in a 100 point match. His thing is to give his wingmates some action efficiency but he eats so many points there is not enough left to bring enough effective ships. And once Lando's wingmates have been focused fired down, he is just a generic PS 7 Three dice PWT.

Now in 150 or more point matches, he can be amazing. Fly Lando with Squad leader flanked by Ion Torp Y-Wings and you can absolutely wreck the capital ships and tightly packed swarms you see in larger point formats.
