ridiculous jank

By Biggsy_boy, in X-Wing Squad Lists

With 2.0 around the corner, I want to run something a store champs that would be utterly ridiculous. Below is what I am thinking about, but I am look for other ideas. I don't meta or competitive, but my only requirement is that it has to be fun and entertaining. Bonus points if I can make it do something ridiculous.

Bossk - fearlessness, cluster missiles, dengar, 4-lom, oulaw tech, glitterstim, guidance chips - 48 points

Boba Fett - Fearlessness, cluster missiles, bomblet generator, tail gunner, glitterstim, andrasta title, guidance chips - 51 points.

The general goal is to get something off the board quickly and get up in someones face.

A friend of mine ran this crazy Bossk, Serissu, Palob Godalhi list, with Countermeasures on Bossk (and like Dengar and Expertise), and Bodyguard and Moldy Crow Palob. A three-agility Bossk rerolling defense dice is no joke.

Holy cow...that's hilarious. Well done!

Hmm... My instincts want to trade Tail Gunner for Cad Bane

... Then maybe scrounge up one more point for Slave I + EM, but I don't know what to cut for that!

You can't have both titles. If I tried for the Slave I and EM, I'd be dropping the bombs altogether. Which, I did consider that and using engine upgrade to get Boba in range 1 faster.

Cad Bane adds a bomb slot, so between that and a Firespray's natural, you've got Bomblet space.

Easy! Bossk Glitterstim becomes Contraband Cybernetics. It's not quite as good, but still strong, particularly on a stall. Get a free focus from Outlaw Tech, as well as take a focus action.

My favorite Bossk: Expertise, Cluster Missiles, Dengar, Tactician, Boba Fett, Engine Upgrade, Burnout SLAM. I had Mangler Cannon for a while but found t wasn't getting as much use as I wanted. I ran that with Mercenary Copilot too, he was pretty scary at range three.

I've run him in tournaments with Thweek and with VI Ketsu. Bossk is a beast at dealing damage. I came up with him when Kanaan/Fenn was hot in my local meta. He doesn't need mods so he's boosting all over the place, the cluster missiles are nasty with Dengar and Expertise for rerolls and mods. I flew him a few times with scum Fenn casual which was fun too but Ketsu is a really good wingman for him.

@theBitterFig got it. Cad Bane makes the Firespray-31 bomblet capable without any title (hilarious jank side note: he also makes the Quadjumper tug bomblet capable!) Plus buffs the bomblets that you drop on enemies :)

Anyways, @Biggsy_boy have you gotten any form of the list out to an event yet? How did it go? I would think that Boba's rerolls could make him a soft counter to 5X.

I have not run this in a tournament. the last store tournament I was in, I ran QD, Inqy, and the PS1 reaper with a Krennic and ISB slicer. I went undefeated and got my regionals bye. It's a nasty list.

Anyway, there are a couple more store champs in my area, but I specifically want to just run ridiculous stuff and have some fun with it. I do have another version of Fearlessness Boba that I have been looking at. There are no bombs, but he's much better at getting range 1 clusters off.

Boba - fearlessness, cluster missiles, K4-security droid, glitterstim, engine upgrade.

It's 53 points, but he can boost and still have full mods for the cluster missile. I do like the idea of Cad Bane thou. It gives me more options overall than this list.

OMG! I love the infinite bomb quadjumper idea. That would be awesome.
