Hi everyone.

With regional practise in full force, i'm struggling to finalise my list to practise and wondered if the hive mind may be able to help. Im pretty certain with these two ships

T/70 X-wing: Poe Dameron
+ Veteran Instincts
+ BB-8
+ Advanced Optics
+ Black One
+ Autothrusters

K-Wing: Miranda Doni
+ Twin Laser Turret
+ Harpoon Missiles
+ C-3PO (3)
+ Long-Range Scanners (0)

But that doesnt leave me with many points. Here are my options as i see it

1 - add a z-95 with Harpoons and GC, think i need to drop Autothrusters for IA on Poe if i do

2 - stick with the 2 ships and beef them out, bomblet and EM and Miranda, maybe even plasma torps for Poe

3 - add an a wing blocker

I worry that adding additional cheap ships just give my opponents points. Would really love to hear if anyone has any experience they could share with lists similar to this?

Many thanks in advance

You could also add more points to Miranda and give Poe R2D2.

Miranda likes eg bomblet generator or other bombs and extra munitions (because Harpoons)

Go watch some of Nathan Eide's matches from Worlds 2015. His list was Poe, Corran, and a Prototype Pilot, and he did some amazing things with that little A-Wing. He took 2nd place that year.

Some have tried sticking a shuttlebug in there with those two. They are cheap, and kinda neat.

Rex.

More bombs and missiles, they'll do as much damage as most wingmen in that price range...

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)

You only have room for Rex, a Z or maaaaaaybe a Phantom 1 or 2. If you had 20 points, Fenn Rau IS THE BEST WINGMAN.

This build for Poe is incredibly worth its value. T1 stuff.
Otherwise, drop Poe to PS8 + VI, gives you 3 more free points. Consider adding bomblet or adv slam to Miranda.

Very mutable build.

If you go with VI Poe, then I think R2-D2 is better. BB-8 shines best with Intensity.

Also, Poe is really dependant on either astromechs, so you don't really want to lose them with IA. IMHO you're better off with Autothrusters. So if you want VI Poe, I'd go for this:

Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
C-3PO (3)
Long-Range Scanners (0)

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Veteran Instincts (1)
R2-D2 (4)
Advanced Optics (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Captain Rex (14)

Total: 99

Rex is probably the cheapest and most effective list filler. He forces your opponent to deal with him first, and if your opponent does, you only lose 14 points but you've had 1-2 turns of free reign for your main damage dealers.

Note: I’m pretty sure you can’t equip either of the Phantom Titles unless you have the respective Ghost title in your list, too. The Phantom title has no squad cost (to be precise, it does not have a squad cost of “0,” it has a squad cost of “-“), and the Ghost title instructs you to equip the respective Phantom title to a shuttle.

I realized this this last night when I tried to use the exact same Sheathipede build you suggested.

@Belphegor07, it helps if you tell us how many points you have remaining. No offense, but some of us don't want to add it all up before giving your our thoughts.

I would go with Rex.

This is pretty solid:

AP-5 (15)
Courier Droid (0)
M9-G8 (3)

Poe Dameron (31)
Veteran Instincts (1)
R2-D2 (4)
Advanced Optics (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
C-3PO (3)
Bomblet Generator (3)

Total: 100

First turn AP-5 TLs Miranda giving her pretty accurate TLT fire. Poe flies around and does Poe things. Coordinate when necessary if you know one of them is going to get blocked up. You can be more dangerous and go with Sabine on Miranda, but C3 gives you a bit more defense.

Current set up for Poe and Miranda is:

T/70 X-wing: Poe Dameron (33 + 8)
+ Veteran Instincts (1)
+ BB-8 (2)
+ Advanced Optics (2)
+ Black One (1)
+ Autothrusters (2)
K-Wing: Miranda Doni (29 + 16)
+ Twin Laser Turret (6)
+ Harpoon Missiles (4)
+ C-3PO (3)
+ Bomblet Generator (3)
+ Long-Range Scanners (0)

Which leaves exactly 14 so Rex seems like a good fit. Could possibly lose bomblet from Miranda for a couple of points though

No, no, no, no....! Keep Bomblet and run Rex naked. He is only there to be a pain in the butt and draw fire off of the others.

Does seem like the best option, thanks for the advice
