I was listening to the Outer Rim Job podcast the other day, when one of the guys talked about using Raddus, Profundity and rapid launch bays to fling a bunch of B wings into your opponent, negating the need to get them across the board. This idea sounded really funny so I did a bit of list building around it. Here’s what I came up with, it probably isn’t super competitive, but I’m hoping it could work in the way I’m hoping it will. The idea is that a Trc90 drops the Profundity who drops a GR75 and they spit out Keyan, 3Bs and Nora.

[flagship] CR90 Corvette A (44) - Admiral Raddus (26) - Jaina's Light (2) - Turbolaser Reroute Circuits (7)

Squadrons (79/134): 1x Keyan Farlander B-Wing Squadron (20) 3x B-Wing Squadron (42) 1x Norra Wexley Y-wing Squadron (17)

It isn’t my idea and I’m not sure it actually works but if it does it could be pretty entertaining to spit out a B swarm to grind down a juicy enemy ship. The Bs are unlikely to finish a full health large ship but with the fire from the Profundity and TRC90 in support, I’m hoping it proves sufficiently deadly.

You'll want Intel in there somewhere. It's already in their best interests to block your drop by spreading squadrons, forcing the bombers not to shoot ships is a bonus.

Only 2 CR90s as drop points. One of them is Raddus himself so basically you have one possible drop point, unless you want to risk losing Raddus before making the drop. But hey, I saw crazier lists than this one...

I'm participating in a 'hangar bay' style league so have this and 2 others to choose from while looking at my opponents lists. It won't work everywhere but I think it will be fun to play with and against. My other lists will probably be much more conservative.

I’ve been running this concept for awhile now and it is a ton of fun.

Watch out for a Vader Raider, though. I've been at a tournament where someone's payload of B-wings were locked forever in the hangar bays when Vader boarded and chopped up the Rapid Launch Bays.

Had something simmilar in my mind. Obj. not set. Any comments?

I agree that hammerheads would be better in this list type. My biggest issue at the moment is the inability to get hold of the hammerhead expansion for a reasonable price in the U.K. It's pretty much double the rrp or out of stock.

Drop a GR out of Prof but the GR has Flight Commander and Rapid Launch Bays with BCC so you can deploy your B-wings after the GR moves and therefore get extra range

you need the GR-75s to have raddus drop points, not have them inside. I think that Aspiration is what @Frostweasel is looking for. I mean your original list looks like you want to drop the GR, but I would stick to aspiration and have the GR go on its own. IMO dropping the As to Bs would make for a better list (add SW-7). lose a bit of bombing power, but you get Nym which could potentially be a gamechanger

I'll definitely try these versions out when I get the cards to do so, I only have 1 GR at the moment and I'm missing the Hammerhead pack. Also what kit does the DCO come in?

@Cleto0 No, I said to use the GR as the ship to be dropped out of Profundity, not the list.
