3 X-Wings and a HWK

By Gornall, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I keep hearing good things about HWKs, so I switched out Biggs from this list:

Any thoughts? All four ships are super lean, but I think there is the possibility for synergy with Kyle feeding focuses (to Garven if needed), Thane bumping Garven to I5, which allows him to pass a token and hopefully put a card on for Thane, etc.

T-65 X-wing - Garven Dreis - 47
•Garven Dreis - Red Leader (47)
Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0)

HWK-290 Light Freighter - Kyle Katarn - 50
•Kyle Katarn - Relentless Operative (38)
Moldy Crow (12)

T-65 X-wing - Wedge Antilles - 52
•Wedge Antilles - Red Two (52)
Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0)

T-65 X-wing - Thane Kyrell - 51
•Thane Kyrell - Corona Four (48)
Swarm Tactics (3)
Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0)

Total: 200/200

Put Swarm Tactics on Wedge unless you plan to flank him out wide. Don’t plan on Garven’s focus passing, consider it a bonus when it works. Keep Thane alive at all costs. He is much stronger in the later rounds. By much stronger I mean, brutal.

Why would you keep Garven and drop Biggs? Being able to protect your more valuable ace (Wedge) seems much more useful than a very situational focus token here and there (not to mention, you already have Kyle to pass out focus if you need it...)
