5 Y wings with Ion Cannon Turrets & Bombs

By TBot, in X-Wing

Gray Squadron Bomber with Ion Cannon Turret is 38 points x 5 is 190 points.

10 points left for 3 seismic charges or 2 proton bombs.

Is this any good? Its got 40 health. Lots of board contol with ions and bombs. Can let loose 4 dice attacks at range 1. The hardest part will be keeping your turret on target but with 5 of them if flown well it could be good i think.

Also i feel like a 3 bank followed by their new barrel could surprise people with a block.

Personally doubt it, not enough punch. Got some health, but not enough to give a swarm much pause

If I we're going all in on Ys, it'd be with ICT Vet Gunners. Less health, far more firepower

Especially if you go scum for Drea (expert handling, cloaking to keep her alive since she doesn't need to fly in formation), which lands you 3 hired guns with ICT and vet Gunners

If you do two Guns and a Goon, Drea can get r4 + gunner Han

Drea looks fun. It might be hard to keep her arc on targets. Either way i dont want 5 turret Ys to be good. I was just curious. I was surprised we could fit 5

I've been toying with a mix of Bs and Ys. The Ys with ICT and ion torps so the Bs have easy targets that are less able to shoot back. I'm sure Xs would work nicely as well. Y-Wings make an excellent anvil for your hammer.

By the way, so does the new Y-Wing miniature for 2.0. Picked up 4 at GenCon on Thursday after seeing the new Y-Wing at the 2.0 tournament. It's just so pretty.

Intriguing, I like it.

Ionised ships should make lining up the HLC bullseye a little easier.
