Fat Han and friend

By Glyph, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey all!

This is the first time I'm posting a Rebel list (mainly Imperial player) and also the first 2nd edition list I'm posting...so double Firsts! I don't know if the following list is going to be affected by 1st edition bias as it hasn't been too long ago that that edition ended and I'm still coming to grips with the new edition...I've only played 2 games of 2e so far. Let me know what you think!

Han Solo [6]
Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter
> EPT : Trick Shot
> Modification : Ablative Plating
> Gunner : Luke Skywalker
> Crew : Jyn Erso
> Crew : Perceptive Copilot
> Elicit : Rigged Cargo Chute
> Title : Millennium Falcon

Thane Kyrell [5]
T-65 X-Wing
> Configuration : Servomotor S-foils

[197]

I know that 3pts isn't much of a bid, but I feel that all upgrades on Han are needed or cheap enough to staple on.
Trick Shot is only 1pt and ties well with his ability and this build.
Luke allows a free turret rotation so I can move at I6 and use my action on other things.
Jyn and Copilot will let me Focus and Evade in a turn.
Ablative plating would allow me to overlap obstacles twice per game with no repercussions.
The title allows an extra reroll on my evade dice (remember Han's ability doesn't count as a reroll for effects, so technically you haven't used your "can only reroll a die once" chance).
Rigged Cargo Chute can be used if I'm being chased or if I'm in to open with no obstacles in sight.

Thoughts?

Trick Shot? Great choice?

Title? Well worth it

PerCo/Jyn? LOVE it

RCC? Not bad. I don't like that it takes an action, but probably not a waste - but you could cut it for better stuff if need be.

Ablative Plating? I'm not convinced you need it

Luke? NO. Too many points. If you fly well, you'll be able to point the arc right anyway.

Ditching the chute, the plating, and Luke gives you SO many more points for your wingmate(s)

I’ve been wanting to recreate a Fat Han and Luke list I used to fly in 1.0:

Movie Heroes

(92) Han Solo
(6) Millennium Falcon
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(4) Hera Syndulla
(7) Hotshot Gunner
Points 119

(62) Luke Skywalker
(0) Servomotor S-foils
(8) R2-D2
(8) Afterburners
Points 78

Total points: 197

I haven’t gotten to fly it yet...

How about this for a modification to this list:

Han Solo [6]
Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter
> Gunner : Bistan
> Crew : Jyn Erso
> Crew : Perceptive Copilot
> Title : Millennium Falcon

Shara Bey [4]
ARC-170 Starfighter
> EPT : Marksmanship
> Astromech : R3 Astromech
> Crew : Magva Yarro
> Torpedoes : Proton Torpedoes

[197]

Yeah I like the look of that 2nd one.

I was tinkering around with trying to make a 2 ship list with a cheap Falcon:

Falcon & Friend

(78) Outer Rim Smuggler
(14) Bistan
(2) Jyn Erso
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(2) Tactical Scrambler
(6) Millennium Falcon
Points 112

(74) Corran Horn
(3) Swarm Tactics
(3) R3 Astromech
(3) Fire-Control System
Points 83

Total points: 195

i know you have to fly the Ewing and Falcon together, but think it could be quite fun flying a Initiative 1 ship but firing it twice at I5 ?
