(2e) Y Ionize?

By Ravenhull, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Bit of a silly idea:

4x Gold Squadron Veterans (34) w/ Ion Torpedoes (6), Ion Turrets (6), Expert Handling (2), R4 Astromechs (2); 50 points each

Downside is that there isn't that much 'crunch power' in this, but it's hard to arc dodge when you are only going 1 straight, and even with the turrets, you can sandpaper down ships.

Not a competitive list, but one that might drive some opponents nuts.

If you went with three of these guys with VetTurGun and some proton bombs, it could be competitive

way back in the wave 4 prerelease tournament I gimmicked my way to winning an early TIE Defender with 2 Y-wings with ion turrets and 2 B-wings with ion cannons and FCS. I'm not sure how a variation of this would stack up now but people absolutely weren't ready for it back then, it was a lot of fun to play. not sure how fun it was to play against though :^)

Conner Nets to continue the theme? lol

Looks like something I wanted to try in 1.0. Couldn't outside of Epic sadly :( .
