It’s a super aggro build that has the 2 K-Wings attacking from all sides then SLAMming away to prep for another strike while deploying bombs along the way.

Luke will be a flanker/diversion and focus on primary targets and aces.

I would more mirror the Ks ordinance. Barrage on both, rather than one odd ball. Barrage is just TOO GOOD on them, especially with their bowties out the sides.

Sabine is obviously an excellent crew. Magva isn't bad. But Cassian would be FANTASTIC for your bombers.

As for Luke, while he is an excellent flanker/diversion, I think he can get better in that role. Supernatural Reflexes and an R3 Astro would be how I'd roll.

@Greebwahn thank you for the feedback. Changed it to Barrage Rockets and will try it this weekend. Can’t wait.

How did the list work out for you?

Took out the SLAMS on both K-Wings to give Luke Supernatural Reflexes.

Battle report:

Won 1 game vs XBY squad. Lost the 2nd one to a AAXY squad.

Skilled Bombraider and Sabine doesn’t do anything special and total waste of points. They always went after the K-Wing with Sabine on it so it opened up my chances in positioning Luke for some great hits.

Bomb-SLAMming the K-Wings were awesome. Barrage rockets weren’t anything special as well. Kept forgetting the ability to re-roll on bullseye.

Luke was great! I think he would be more suited in a different squad though.
