Boba and ? + fangs

By Bigstevo, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking to play some boba fett and want to pair him with a fang(s).

Has anyone tried to pair these ships together.

I have two lists I am looking at but not sure if I am on the rite tracks,

(80) Boba Fett
(3) Marauder
(4) Han Solo
(3) Fearless
(5) Hull Upgrade
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(5) Proton Bombs
(4) Heavy Laser Cannon
Points 114

(68) Fenn Rau
(3) Fearless
(6) Adv. Proton Torpedoes
Points 77

Total points: 191

Or

(80) Boba Fett
(3) Marauder
(4) Han Solo
(3) Fearless
(3) 0-0-0
Points 93

(50) Skull Squadron Pilot
(3) Fearless
Points 53

(50) Skull Squadron Pilot
(3) Fearless
Points 53

Total points: 199

Any advice greatly appreciated

Second option is clearly better. I would go for Old Teroch + Zelous Recruit instead of double Skull Squadron Pilots tho.

Something like this?

And I'd prefer the two Skull Squadron aces.

The only thing I'd change from your second list is probably the Fearless on Boba. He already gets to reroll any blanks at R1 so he doesn't need it really. I'd probably put Debris Gambit and L3-37 crew on Boba there instead of Fearless & 0-0-0.

I found qi'ra to be quite useful on a cheap Boba. L3-37 sounds nice, too.

Agree on the debris gambit

Yeah, that would be my way of doing it.

I'm a huge fan of defensive Boba, either with Debris Gambit/han gunner and perceptive copilot, or Elusive/IG88/Han Gunner. You are going to want to slam into them and tank as many shots as possible, with your rerolls and excessive green tokens.

That being said, L337 might be decent. Absorb a strong 3-4 dice attack and then make it easier to shed the Han stress with blue turns, Would have to fly more careful.

Ive got a different take on things with these lists. Switching out Boba for generic Bounty Hunter lets you upgrade one fangfighter to Fenn. Gives them a difficult choice for target priority. Use Fenn as a flanker with BH as a blocker/brawler in close.

I just like Palob in general but you could use a second fangfighter instead if you like (Squadron#2).

Torkil Mux backing up BH is pretty nasty and will give you opportunities to take out most small ships before they get to fire back (Squadron#3).
