Frightful Four

By theBitterFig, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Sure, you could make a normal list, or you can make a list based on Jack Kirby's art. Long live the King!

The Wingless Wizard: Echo (Juke) 55. Flies like a mad scientist and denies tokens, much like gravity powers.

Sandman: Pure Sabaac (Crack Shot) 45. The heavy hitter, a plain and simple thug.

Paste Pot Pete: Countdown (Crack Shot) 45. It's a trap to attack this one first. But c'mon. It's Paste Pot Pete. This one is always the joke.

Medusa: Seventh Sister (Hate, Fire Control System, Ion Missiles ) 55 51. The Queen , and she can tie folks down with Ions. Her "crack shot" type effect seems like it could be really nasty with Ion Missiles . (e: Sev's ability is primary-only)

Such a fun theme to build around! I feel like you caught them pretty well. Sandman in particular, as the adaptive ailerons gives the ship that shifting maneuver that you would expect from him. Report back with how it flies, when you get the chance!

I've already flown a version with Soontir instead of Echo, and no Ion on Sev. I feel like it's got potential to be a decent-enough kind of list, at least kit level. The "ace swarm" style strikes me that it might thread the needle some. More weight of fire to make up for lower Init against low ship count lists, but still quite ace-y against generics, with an extra ship.

Awesome! Love it.

Be careful though, the Trapster gets triggered when you call him Paste Pot Pete. lol

Red Ghost and his Super Apes...
