Dash & 2 Sheathipedes

By GreenDragoon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I know it‘s jank, but I want to try it

•Fenn Rau (23) - Sheathipede-class Shuttle
Veteran Instincts (1), Rey (2), •Phantom (0)

•Dash Rendar (54) - YT-2400
Push The Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), •Kanan Jarrus (3), •Outrider (5)

•"Zeb Orrelios" (23) - Sheathipede-class Shuttle
Gunner (5), •R3-A2 (2)

PS11 coordinate means that Dash is literally untouchable.

The stress bug helps to protect Fenn.

Whatever tries to hunt Fenn down has to get through a focus-bolstered defense without his own tokens. Very likely stress and getting pounded by Dash.

I would like Ezra with Wired or Selflessness, and R2 astro on Fenn. It fits with Mangler, but I‘m not sure if that‘s worth it

edit: or Chopper + Title + Chips to regen twice

I think you want engine on Dash so that he has 7 possible placements at PS11 rather than 4

And what do you cut?

Also, a large base barrel roll will always put you at a distance of at least 2.5. So you can alway roll out of range one if you move after. Engine is not necessary, even though it would be very nice to have of course

I’d struggle to cut anything ... I think the concept is strong though - when I played in squadron builder, I ended up cutting the hog.

I second the above notions: the concept is strong. It does in fact make Dash functionally untouchable, and respectably offensive. However, those Sheathipedes will crumble like nothing, given the impossibility of your other target, and they themselves really can't do much damage.
