By Tbetts94, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I started the thread called Rebel Junkyard 2.0 before the Gunship came out. Now I’m gonna start the 3.0 version.

Easy change. Still OP.

I'm fairly certain Rex dies turn one there without Biggs. New Biggs is still usable. The damage sharing just isn't the same without him and jousting lists will pick their target and annihilate.

Focus, Lowhrick, Draw Their Fire, Selflessness plus 3 greens. He’s a trap if you shoot him.

Here is my take on the new fairship 3.0

Can I just ask why this list has been called Fairship?

Same reason a big fat guy is nicknamed "Tiny"

You're using almost 100% too little Biggs.

There isn't 100% of Biggs to go around these days. Only about 10%.

Biggs is using almost 100% too little Biggs ;)

My one concern is the Tactician - R3-A2 is great, and tactician gives you a second stress if you catch someone in arc at range 2, but I'll admit (maybe due to poor piloting) I never got it to work anywhere nearly as well as gunner.

The other thought, if you wanted another irritating 'shoot me' ship in the same price range is Thane Kyrell with a Tailgunner - free actions are a nice way to punish people for not shooting the arc first.
