Dash Rendar (24)

• Rogue Squadron (14)
= 66 Points

Double rogue means they can go in the ship and the squadron phase, right? You sir have cracked this game wide open. I feel sorry for your opponents.

Raddus on a hammerhead and nothing else.

An interesting twist on the current meta. Have you considered Garm in this list instead?

No, Raddus is OP so I wanted to stick with easy mode.

But, since you asked, and it isn't nice to turn down some free Armada advice...

My biggest regret is that I have but one like to give this post. That list is indeed game breaking.

What we really need to know is what Classic Ben brings.

Also need to @Tokra . I know he'll be here.

Unfortunately I wont be able to make it to Worlds this year. As such, I'll let you all see the fleet I've been working on and would have brought if I could have made it. A few things of note-

Konstantine is almost OP in this list- stiff arming enemy ships to keep them at range and with the way the ships are kitted out they are throwing 3! red dice per arc!!!

Raiders work best fully loaded out, operating as lone wolfs as the primary threat unsupported by squads.

Objectives are insane. Free rerolls, I split up your fleet, or get to see where you set up first!?

Titus- Even more speed shenanigans?! Surely the enemy's plans will be sent into disarray from so much Kontrol

Well......

...... I was just going to bring Rogue Squadron and nothing else.

Because according to the books, that should work.....

But then I saw the Rebels TV series and thought "What the heck. I'll throw in Hera as well. Just to laugh at the expression on my opponents faces as they realise what I've done!"

Then I read the rule book (mumble, mumble, grumble, needs a ship, grumble, grumble)

But fear not! The perfect answer presented itself once again from the TV series! For they capture a Quasar during the series! And I looked it up! And Yes! A quasar does indeed count as a ship!

MWHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

I don’t mean to brag, but I have done pretty well in a local tourney with this list. It could be the one to take worlds this year. The combination of speed control and powerful squadrons is very difficult to deal with.
