x-wing noob

By Monkeyboytabu, in X-Wing Squad Lists

i am currently looking at making a imperial list for hyperspace events and how to make a good list for the least money possible.

does anyone have good imperial list suggestions?

Edited by Monkeyboytabu

I'd probably go with the imperial 5s

Maarek Stele (46)
Marksmanship (1)
Fire-Control System (2)

“Howlrunner” (40)
Crack Shot (1)

“Mauler” Mithel (32)
Crack Shot (1)

“Scourge” Skutu (32)
Crack Shot (1)

“Duchess” (42)
Predator (2)
Total: 200

One second edition core

One tie/ln

One tie striker

One tie adv

All same initiative, so easy to fly. Free mods with howlrunner. Dutchess is very noob friendly since you are not forced to aileron, but the option to aileron is always available to get you out of a bad situation. Ask to borrow a couple crackshots, people have billions of them and im sure will likely just give em to ya. Otherwise, they arent that important, can easily trade them out for a bomb on dutchess or elusive on howlrunner or predator on scourge so he gets rerolls after howl dies and his ability procs

rebel list all ps-4 pilots. the x-wings have regen, and the u-wing has adv. sensors so it is ok if you hit a

rock. ( noobs sometimes have trouble trying dodge rocks ) all you need is core and saws renegades.

  1. thanks I will share the lists with him

Yeah, for Rebels the two X-Wings, one Y-Wing and one U-Wing is not only a good list but also the most affordable as you can make it with a Core, Saw Renegades and a Y-Wing expansions.

what about scum and villainy is it any good

If you're both starting out together you could buy two core sets a y-wing and a tie advanced. They wouldn't be top-tier competitive lists, but it would get you started.

Rebel XXY list, something like:

T-65 X-wing - •Jek Porkins - 65
•Jek Porkins - Red Six (46)
Elusive (3)
Proton Torpedoes (12)
R5 Astromech (4)
Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0)

T-65 X-wing - •Luke Skywalker - 80
•Luke Skywalker - Red Five (62)
Proton Torpedoes (12)
Shield Upgrade (6)
Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0)

BTL-A4 Y-wing - •“Dutch” Vander - 55
•“Dutch” Vander - Gold Leader (39)
Proton Torpedoes (12)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Total: 200/200

View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

And Imperials, Vader + 4 TIEs, something like:

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 28
Black Squadron Ace - (26)
Predator (2)

TIE/ln Fighter - Black Squadron Ace - 28
Black Squadron Ace - (26)
Predator (2)

TIE/ln Fighter - •Valen Rudor - 28
•Valen Rudor - Braggadocious Baron (28)

TIE/ln Fighter - •Iden Versio - 40
•Iden Versio - Inferno Leader (40)

TIE Advanced x1 - •Darth Vader - 75
•Darth Vader - Black Leader (65)
Fire-Control System (2)
Shield Upgrade (8)

Total: 199/200

Wedge Antilles w/ S-Foils, R4 and Proton Torps

Luke Skywalker w/ S-Foils, R4 and Proton Torps

Dutch Vander w/ R4, Skilled Bombardier, Seismic Charges and Proton Torps

- Get a TL with Dutch. Pass a free TL to Wedge.

- TL with Luke.

- Focus with Wedge.

That's two double modded shots with Wedge (Focus + TL) and Luke (Force + TL). Dutch can follow up with a third shot if needed.

Dutch also has seismic charges to hurt swarms, and can drop them at range 2 as well as 1.
