Timewalk Asaj and Nym

By Tupacca, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi All,

Just looking for a review of the below list. It's not top tier but is definitely capable of winning games.

Asaj, Lone Wolf, Latts Razi, GS, GS, Countermeasures (48)

Nym, VI, TLT, EM, Thermals, Thermals, Title, ADV Sensors, Engine, Genius (52)

100

Nym kites and eventually dives in when a bomb drop is favorable - he's super expensive so I don't like getting him stuck in. I'm curious if people think an auto blaster variant would be viable, or reducing the bombs to seismics? The combination of asaj stress + thermal stress is quite handy.

Thanks

I'd drop one of the sets of Thermals down to Seismics to put VI on Nym for sure - PS 10 will make a world of difference on him and how effectively he can use those bombs.

Hi,

That's actually an error on my part. VI is included in the 100pts!

No crew on asajj? YOU'RE MAD, MAN! MAD I TELL YA!!!

:P

A local player around here has been flying Asajj/Nym for about three months straight. It is a tough list to deal with.

Another mistake on my part! Latts is definitely on board!

That list doesn't seem to be working for me, any suggestions?

You could drop one of the GS's to make room for Scavenger Crane. You could use it to get Countermeasures back as the game progresses. Could come in handy.

I like PTL more than LW on Asajj - sometimes you will want them close.

Asajj w/ PTL, Latts, Countermeasures, Glitter, and Scavenger Crane is HELLA survivable and surprisingly offensive, especially in getting multi-uses of Glitter and CM.

That leaves loads of room for Nym w/ VI, TLT, Havoc, Adv. Sensors, Genius, Bomblets, EU, and the title on Asajj if you want more long game kind of stuff, or Nym w/ VI, TLT, Havoc, Adv. Sensors, Genius, EM, Thermals x2 to provide a bit more reliable damage and stress, both for control and Asajj's survivability.

Just to be clear, you can't use Scavenger Crane to get Glitterstims back. No cooking and injecting your erstwhile friends...

To me, I'd love to see Ion Bombs. 1x Thermal, 1x Ion. They won't do damage directly, but if Nym Ions and Asajj stresses, d*** that'll be effective.

How's Lone Wolf going on the table? My gut says that having to keep the two ships apart might be tough, with Nym sometimes crashing in, sometimes kiting. Push the Limit might also be effective on Asajj. If going that route, I'd swap a Glitterstim for a Crane. 2xGlitter & LW is pretty sweet on paper, though. I'd just wonder at the on-table geometry of the list.
