Newbie Squad Advice (Just starting out)

By SneakingBush, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey guys,

Just about to get into this game and was wondering if anyone could steer me in the right direction. I want to start small (around 50 points) but I'm not sure what to buy.

I'd like to have a decent base to build on but also enjoy gimmicky things. Could anyone tell me what to steer clear of perhaps or what I should probably go for?

Some sort of bomber list would be awesome or something with Asajj/Boba(If possible, still not too sure about things.)

Many thanks.

If you want to do some gimmicky/bomber things, I'd say go with a Scurrg and Most Wanted, in addition to one of the Core Sets.

From there, a Shadowcaster and Firespray work well together. Shadowcaster's crazy pilot abilities definitely fit the gimmicky things you're looking for.

All that being said, 50 squad points isn't going to get you very far. I introduced a co-worker to the game at 75 points for the first few games before going to 100. That'll give you more room to build out some ships.

Wow, many thanks. We will soon move up from 50 points and buy more ship, I just wanted to get a good starting point.

I'm liking the idea of the Most Wanted and the Scurrg more and more. What kinda list to start with, could I put together once I pick up those two sets?

Thanks again :)
