Gunboat fun

By Big k, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Ok so playing in a local event on the 17 of next month. It's a Hanger Bay event with a couple of additions to the rules. You can't use anything you already haver in the first list period. Plus you must use each list twice over the 4 rounds.

This is my first list...

Quickdraw - VI, FCS, Spec Ops and Lightweight Frame.

Backdraft - VI, FCS, Spec Ops and Lightweight Frame.

The Inquisitor - PTL, Autothrusters, Tie/v1 and Proton Rockets.

That list is locked in. What I need peoples opinions on is list 2. I have been using the following list with alot of success...

Wampa

Major Vynder - Expertise, Advanced Proton Torpedos, Homing Missiles, Arsenal Loadout and Advanced Slam

Rho Squadron Vet - Expertise, Advanced Proton Torpedos, Homing Missiles, Arsenal Loadout and Advanced Slam

It's been a fun list to play, what are peoples thoughts on the second list?

I think you are putting alot of points in Vynder and a Rho. I can see the reasoning for it and the list looks fun. But competitively, Vynder and the Rho are both in the 40 point range. I don't think it has the defensive capabilites to last like Kylo, or the Fenn/ghost.

I think if you got rid of the APT's, and bumped Wampa up to something bigger. Whether it be another, lighter Rho, omega leader, palp shuttle. There are options.

Cool thanks Biggsy

Here's an option:

Rho no!

TIE Defender: •Colonel Vessery (35)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)
Veteran Instincts (1)

TIE Bomber: •Tomax Bren (31)
Guidance Chips (0)
Crack Shot (1)
Extra Munitions (2)
Harpoon Missiles (4)

Alpha-Class Star Wing: •Major Vynder (34)
Advanced SLAM (2)
Os-1 Arsenal Loadout (2)
Adaptability (+1) (0)
Harpoon Missiles (4)

Total: 100/100

You can swap Tomax for a Rho, but here you have two solid 'poons and a sturdy ace behind it.

Here is my two cents. (I know you don't want to adjust the first list but....) switch from the first list the PTL to Juke on inquisitor.

Then you can make your second list with 2 of the Rho's with an ace. or still vynder with a smaller ace. two misssiles/torpedoes on a boat is a little redundant and costly.

I.E.

2x RHO, Adv SLAM, OS-1, PTL, Harpoons. total 32 points each. 37 if you bump to Vynder. The PTL's will make it extra effecient because you can fire harpoons every turn if you play it right. with fully modded on the first throw of the chain.

Add Vader at 36 point who adds the crits, the above vessery, or any other ace of choice for long game. 31 points if you take Vynder.

Thanks for tge feedback. You've all given me something to think about
