Two Hawks And The Ghost

By IG-NYM, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ran this at a store championship this past weekend. It placed which there was a couple two win drops. Any who went up against two ship build first round. Also second round and third ended up facing a three ship build. With the damage out out of the ghost and Finn combo mixed with Jan and Swarm. I was serving 5 hits at least; also TLT on Jan added additional two. If I was lucky I was able to get them in range of Rarok and Jans then I would use Rarok ability to turn the ghost to PS12 and have the hawks PS8.

Made it hard to joist and with Jan being able to turn Rarok DT to 4 dice attack range one.

Also the hawks end game factor. Either two turrents on the board at PS12 when the ghost is gone or Five Dice Attack at range three first engagement then Six or Seven second engagement; with a possible 4 more hits after.

Weakness bombs and ordinanc! You easily whip these glass ships off the board!

Sounds better

Why didn't you put Nien Numb with Jan? She need to shed stress more often than Roark.

It could go on either or but this allowed for late game rorak to keep up with the Ghost K-Turns to give higher PS. Get more out the Ghost quick but it's a pricy move.

Just out of curiosity: Did you get any use out of the Flechette torps? I'm assuming you had them to shoot out the back.

I wondering if you should drop that for autoblaster turret on the ghost. I think you'd get more value.

Yeah the flechettes paid of when an aggressor tired flying up from behind. I triggered Jan and threw four dice.

I target locked him the turn before so I was able to focus which resulted in a two crit and two hit attack to hitting.

Honestly I am leaning towards autoblasters also. More effective and not a one time use.
