150 point squads, step right up!

By kewlguy360, in X-Wing Squad Lists

There is a 150 point tournament coming up and i am a little stumped as to what to bring. I've been pondering on a glorified fair ship rebels, with the addition of stress braylen and airen cracken with adaptability. I just don't think it will cut it though with whatever possibilities opponents could come up with. There was also the thought of a Z swarm with assault missles to counter fair ship rebels, but they die really fast and aren't a very good counter to nymgar. Maybe 5 defenders? All suggestions are welome, thank you.

You had me the moment you said "5 Defenders". How about the 4 named ones?

Countess Ryad (34)
Push the Limit (3)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Colonel Vessery (35)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Tractor Beam (1)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/D (0)

Maarek Stele (TIE Defender) (35)
A Score to Settle (0)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Rexler Brath (37)
Expertise (4)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Total: 148

Ryad sets up TLs for Vessery who shoots first, lowers the agility of the first victim and forces it to use tokens. Then the other Defenders unleash **** on it.

I did a 150 list once that was all of the available (at the time) original Bounty Hunters. It was IG88(B), Boba, and Bossk. All fully loaded with whatever was the hotness of the day. It was **** on wheels.

3 x Lok Revenant with, Atanni ML, TLT, Bomblet generator, Bombardier

1 x Same as above but Cad Bane instead of bombardier.

149 points.

Bombs away!

Ok, but only because I want to have a reason to break out Lando, AKA Gold Leader.

  • Lando, MF Title (evade), Swarm Leader, Nien Nunb, Jan Ors, Tactical Jammer
  • 2X Gold Squadron, Ion Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, R2, Guidance Chips
  • 2X Green Squadron Pilot, A-Wing Rest Pilot, Snap Shot, Crack Shot, Refit

Lando does green moves, helping to set up Target Locks for Torp shots, or evades for his own shots. The ion Torpedoes 'splash' effect is more likely to trigger in 150 point format with more ships on the board. Once ships are Ioned, the Greens can set up snap/crack shots while providing Evade tokens to Lando for a 5-6 dice PWT attack. Once the Y's pass through the engagement zone, turning around is not a concern as they have the turret.

Thank you for the responses!

Unfortunately Bomblet generator is unique, otherwise this would be hilarious!

I never actually noticed that dot before!

How about this for an upgraded Fairship build?
============= Fair Ship 150 =============

Pilots ------

Lowhhrick [Selflessness, Chewbacca, Tactician, Vectored Thrusters] (37)

Roark Garnet [Twin Laser Turret, Jan Ors, Moldy Crow, Vectored Thrusters] (32)

Captain Rex [Sabine's Masterpiece, Black Market Slicer Tools, Tactician] (18)

Biggs Darklighter [R2-D2, Integrated Astromech] (29)

Jess Pava [R2-D6, Ion Torpedoes, Pattern Analyzer, Integrated Astromech, Draw Their Fire] (34) ------

All the same stuff as the original adding a little more durability with R2-D2, Chewbacca, and Jan Ors, more stress control with 2 Tacticians, some Ion control with the torpedo and the ability to use Roark to boost Rex's PS up to 12 for combat.
