Party BuZZZZZ

By Wookiee_Slayer, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Trandoshan Slaver

  • Dengar
  • 4-LOM
  • Zuckuss
  • Hounds Tooth

Ship: 40 pts.

Binayre Pirate : 12 points

Binayre Pirate : 12 points

Binayre Pirate : 12 points

Binayre Pirate : 12 points

Binayre Pirate : 12 points

List total: 100

So there are a few things you could change here:

  • Drop the Title on the YV and change Slaver to Bossk (maybe put a 0 cost elite on him).
  • Drop the Title on the YV and fill up the gap with a mod and/or illicit (or any other available upgrade). Preferably filling up the 100 PTS.
  • Drop the YV all together and fill up the gap with something else.

The last point is certainly not preferable, since I personally would want the Party Bus at all costs (ba-dum-dsssss).

Let me know what you think and if you have experience with Zed-swarms or the Party Bus!

If you really want some Zs and a Bus, in my opinion there is only one way to fly it!

Trandoshan Slaver w/ Jabba, Inertial Dampeners, and Tractor Beam - 36 points

4x Binayre Pirates w/ Munitions Failsafe & “Hot Shot” Blaster.

Gives you a mini turreted swarm that, as long as they’re alive, are guaranteed to hit for a minimum of 2 damage between Jabba & Failsafe. The Slaver helps to setup shots with double inertial dampeners & tractor beam.

I've been thinking about the Dengar/4-LOM/Boba Fett/Mangler Cannon loadout on a YV-666 (any pilot... Bossk can also get Expertise, and his great ability to take advantage of those crits once Boba is gone). It seems like it'd be an interesting thing which could blast the turret off a Ghost, or many other frustrating upgrade cards. However, pairing it with PS 1 Z-95s doesn't really make sense to me, and there aren't realistically the points to upgrade them to PS 3 (which might be handy against a Lothal Rebel, since you'll have at least a simultaneous attack).

The basic build on a Trandoshan looks like it would come down to a 38 point build. Not quite enough to run 3x Kihraxz with Glitterstim. 4-LOM could be dropped, but I feel like it'd be nice to get past the Evade token in a worst-case scenario.

I like the idea of changing the slaver to Bossk. That way the opposition doesn't know who to go after, making the zeds last longer. Plus it will add some good firepower. throw on a score to settle and you can burn down lists that have only two shops. If you can find points, you can add boba as a crew. That way this list could have a massive counter for Ghost/Fen. Swarms are very under appreciated, and again will be tough psychologically for your opponents since noone practices against them like they did in the early life of the game.

I also LOVE Jabba and HSB Zs! I also agree that the title is not worth it.

Here is my suggestion:

3x Binayre Pirates

Munitions Failsafe

HSB

Bossk

Expertise

Dengar

Jabba

EU

Rigged Cargo Chute

Yes, you lose some Zs. But Bossk is now, himself, very useful, with passive re-rolls and focuses on every attack (getting past Fenn), leaving you free to Boost.
