Wat is this?!?!?

By heychadwick, in X-Wing Squad Lists

New list idea:

Wot is this?!?!

(43) Wat Tambor [Belbullab-22 Starfighter]
(6) Impervium Plating
(10) Kraken
(1) Crack Shot
Points: 60

(24) DFS-311 [Vulture-class Droid Fighter]
Points: 24

(23) Haor Chall Prototype [Vulture-class Droid Fighter]
Points: 23

(23) Haor Chall Prototype [Vulture-class Droid Fighter]
Points: 23

(22) Separatist Drone [Vulture-class Droid Fighter]
Points: 22

(26) Precise Hunter [Vulture-class Droid Fighter]
Points: 26

(22) Separatist Drone [Vulture-class Droid Fighter]
Points: 22

Total points: 200

The idea is to get and keep Calculate tokens to spread around. Fly in formation with all, but DFS-311. Wot stays in r1 of other ships. Kraken lets 3 ships keep the Calculate tokens, which will probably will be the ones getting shot at as they can have 2 tokens for that round.

Haor droids will be good blockers as they can still get Calc tokens or TL if they bump.

Maybe see if I can get some Buzz droids in there, too? Not sure, though, as bumping will be a thing and don't want to have him get rid of things.

I also thought about reducing all the unnamed limited droids to just their generic equivalents and taking 2 ECS on the I3's.

Wat with Kraken is excellent here. However, I think 6 TFDs with ECS is gonna be the most reliable choice of swarm to go along with him

I did have an idea to get more ESC's, but I dislike dropping them to I1.

I tried the first list last night. I wanted to test to see if the Limited Droids might play better than I thought them might. Not really. Well, one Haor Chull got to get one extra Calc token, but that wasn't really worth the points for it. The Precise Hunter didn't get to use his ability at all. It was probably because I set up on one side to entice him to joust, but he wouldn't. heh. I went through the middle and didn't get to set up well enough. I think this list should probably set up in the middle and just be prepared to go either side.

We played, but looked at the clock to see what a tournament would be like. I would've lost in that regard, but we played through and it was a knock out fight. In the end it was just Wat Tambor and he had lost his shields, but that was it.

I would be interested in trying K2-B4 to give those guys a free Evade token. There are too many times that I would blank out and these guys would get one shot. Most of the time they were one shotted. So, I think K2-B4 might be more important than Kraken.

So, with that, I came up with this list:

Wat Tambor (43)
K2-B4 (5)
Impervium Plating (6)

Separatist Drone (22)
Energy-Shell Charges (4)

Separatist Drone (22)
Energy-Shell Charges (4)

Separatist Drone (22)
Energy-Shell Charges (4)

Trade Federation Drone (20)
Energy-Shell Charges (4)

Trade Federation Drone (20)
Energy-Shell Charges (4)

Trade Federation Drone (20)
