Best 28 Point Rebel Wingman?

By AngryAlbatross, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I am building a list using the Ghost with a docked Sabine shuttle and I need a good wingman to back it up. Anyone got any ideas?

Ive only got 28 points in the list left....

Ion Ezra Ghost + ?

"Chopper" (48) - VCX-100
Fire Control System (2), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Hera Syndulla (1), Ezra Bridger (3), Ghost (0)

Sabine Wren (24) - Attack Shuttle
Trick Shot (0), Autoblaster Turret (2), Intelligence Agent (1)

*Cough* Biggs *Cough*

No, seriously. As much I am fed up with the Biggs'ocentric build of the Rebel universe, this mustached gentleman, especially with a points limit so tight, is about the best thing that can happen to Ghost, buing you a turn or two of recless wrecking of havoc and destruction. By the time the X is heroically gone, you should've got rid of a major threat of the enemy squadron. Ghost sinks in damage quite easily, too easily for the centric piece to be left unprotected.

If you want to fly something fun instead of good...

Jake Farrell, Veteran Instincts, Push the Limit, Title, Chardaan refit, Autothrusters is exactly 28pt

Your Classic Stress Hog for 26 points:

Y-Wing Gold Pilot: 18
Twin Laser Turret: 6
R3-A2: 2
BTL-A4: 0

Then use your remaining 2 points to put on one of the other ships. (Maybe Lone Wolf for Sabine, or Ion Projector for Ghost.)

Yea that stress hog could be good!

I do also like the idea of Biggs. Keeping the ghost alive can only benefit me.

Jesse Pava with M9+G8 and Integrated Astromech for 28 points is always a good option.

Tarn Misen with M9-G8 and Integrated Astromech sits right at 26 points, so that gives you two more for something somewhere else (or you could equip one of the 2 point torps on him). He's not the most fantastic X-Wing pilot out there but he is seen so infrequently that he catches people off guard, which makes some people decide to target him first and try to take him out.

Keep in mind that she would only have a single wingman and hence just one reroll as long as Sabine is docked.
