Stressful Wookies

By DanteStorm, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I haven't played with the Azituck Gunship, but I think it might be fun to fly:

Wookiee Liberator (26)

Gunner (5)
Tactician (2)

The idea is to be able to pile 6 stresses on an opponent while still dealing damage. What do you think?

I like the concept. Excellent control in a meta where that is dominant. However, I do not fly Auzitucks for 2 reasons: they can't turn around well enough, and they don't have particularly effective dice mods. Your wookiees will only ever be offensively focused. And while the reinforce is excellent, if a more maneuverable ship (of which there are many) gets behind, you will be in trouble. Therefore, your initial joust needs to stress the **** out of the opponent so that their maneuvers will be more limited, and then you need very smart flying to keep them in your arcs.

I flew a very similar list in a few practice games. It was a fun list, very effective. Doesn't pack much punch on offense so it struggles against certain list types.

I find Predator to be better to force a Gunner trigger when you roll just 1-hit.

Control is good, but "just stressing" someone isn't always enough - there are enough pilots out there who are largely unaffected by stress for one reason or another. Consider downgrading from a Twin Laser Turret to an Ion Turret - the combination of Ion & Stress is much more brutal....
