Double Decimators

By Jord Vader, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi All,

have been toying around with the below list, any comments or tips?

Rear Admiral Chirneau
Dauntless title, Palpatine

Captain Oicun
Intimidation, Darth Vader, Veteran Turret Gunner

Rear Admiral Chiraneau — VT-49 Decimator 80
Minister Tua 7
Darth Vader 14
Ship Total: 101
Captain Oicunn — VT-49 Decimator 78
Intimidation 3
Emperor Palpatine 11
Dauntless 4
Ship Total: 96

Think this would be a bit better and 3 points to throw Trick Shot Chraneau or BT-1 on one of them.

It's a nice list but I dunno how well it will do. Agile Gunner might be better on Oicunn to increase action efficiency?

Thoughts:

  1. Oicunn wants to be in contact with enemy ships to trigger his ability and Intimidation. I suggest he's therefore the one more likely to be (deliberately!) doing incomplete manoeuvres, and hence is the one who should be commanding Dauntless .
  2. Veteran Turret Gunner requires a target fore-and-aft or in both broadsides (depending on where your turret is). This isn't easy with an unwieldy brick like a VT-49
  3. Chiraneau needs his Reinforce to trigger his ability. Without it, he's pretty ineffectual, with it he's a bloody juggernaut. Minister Tua is a great choice.
  4. Palpatine is kind of irrelevant. Neither ship reliably rolls any green dice on defence, and Chiraneau already gets a focus-to-critical on the attack ( because you did reinforce didn't you? ) so the only roll really using it is Oicunn's attack, which could get a similar effect with Fifth Brother for less points.

  • Rear Admiral Chiraneau - 80
    • Ruthless - 1
    • Minister Tua - 7
    • Darth Vader - 14
    • Hull Upgrade - 2
  • Captain Oicunn - 78
    • Dauntless - 4
    • Intimidation - 3
    • Fifth Brother - 9
    • Hull Upgrade - 2

This is why the damage decks have the nu.ber of cards that they do. This list here.
