THE WOODCHIPPER

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

So, that one guy who loves A-Wing won something special with Woodchipper, and I'm not seeing it on Meta-Wing. Is no one else trying it?

Can it beat Nym/Miranda? How do you fly it?

It is: 2 HLC NUs, Doom Canoe, TLT TIE Agressor

That must be Woodchipper 2.0 or something because

original recipe Woodchipper is

5 x Y-wings with autoblaster turrets ;)

That list is the Dakka Dakka Special or something like that. It did very well at a regional in Omaha. It's an uphill sled vs Nym Miranda. They can PS kill something before it gets a chance to fire. That takes a lot of teeth out of the list. But it should do pretty good against some of the other stuff out there.

"That guy" is none other than the Pirate Lord @Kelvan !

I also flew Woodchipper (2.0?) and went #20 out of 136 with it at the Massachusetts Regionals, but the TO hasn't filled in the lists so Meta-Wing isn't fully updated.

I talk about my results on the next Scum and Villainy episode that should be hitting any day now.

Great! I'm thinking about running this list soon.

TL;DR: Its OK but not S-tier. I expected to go 4-2 at Regionals (which is underperforming for me), and that's what happened. It's a fun list though.

I remember seeing Kelvin beat Nym/Miranda with that list online. I don't remember his turn zero setup/flight pattern which I'm sure made a huge difference.

I wish podcasts would talk a little less about list-building and more about setups, openings, tactics, flight patterns, etc.

Don't take that wrong, I love your show and listen to it usually the same day it's up!

I would like a detailed battle report on this. sounds like a ton of fun to fly. and @Kelvan share some of the same` archetypes that I like to fly as well.

Honestly, it looks boring to fly to me - but effective.

Man, if only there were someone on a podcast, who had experience with the list, who was known for giving super-detailed Bat Reps...

I'm the guy who loves A wings. I won KC's regional prep tournament. Made top 8 in Omaha, and made day 2 in Tulsa's regional.

I'm 4-0 vs Nymranda but bear in mind that this is a little due to luck. You can beat it but you need a pristine first engagement. You need to be barely R3 vs one of the ships with all shots and you need to not die to double Harpoon. From there you are more likely than not (but still more less a coin flip) to kill a ship assuming you have all arcs on the ship. This is not easy and requires patience, great rock placement, and stellar range control.

I would honestly learn to fortress vs Ghost Fenn and Rey lists.

Hopefully you didn't mean me because I am not sure I have ever had a detailed anything.

For the record I have really 2 openings. The first sorta....

i NU

i Nu

Basically the Nus form a wall or no fly zone and I use the Rocks I've placed (all on their side, you want to have a good idea how they're coming at you), the TLT, and the Vader Crew card to corral them into a predictable spot.


The other is a more spread out version of this for harpoons.

oh yeah and have a fortress.

I think he was talking about the ship's computer. :)

That's correct. I literally used to rock my daughter to sleep to Nova podcasts because they lasted long enough enough for her to fall asleep .
