Ani & Obi

By Spazz31415, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Played this list a couple times now. It's gone 2 for 2. It's a lot of fun, so I thought I'd post it here and see what the hive mind thinks. I had a console on Obi-Wan, but it did nothing.

Console on Obi-Wan should actually work OK. He's moving after the GST's so it should allow him to get a TL on targets they can't. Also, with no config he's only throwing 2 or 3 dice, which means he's not likely to land much and you'll have chances to use your shot to pass over the TL to better-positioned ships.

That all being said, a 2-die primary ship handing a TL to other 2-die ships isn't adding much benefit unless you're playing aggressive with the GST's and plan to get them in R1 more often than Obi. A three-point bid isn't going to cut it most of the time so you may consider dropping Predictive Shot as well, though it does help Obi-Wan with at least some offensive advantage, assuming you have the Force charges to spare.

Delta-7b is the FIRST thing you add to an aethersprite

Even before the pilot card!

That Kempokid is why I thought to put it on him. I just find myself either maneuvering, or focusing, or both. By the time I have given myself an opportunity to take a lock the goldies have one that they are passing back and forth. Because, yes I am aggressive with the GSTs. They are primarily blockers. They charge in, and get in the way. And by spending those extra few points to give them sync. console they end up doing a lot more work.

Predictive Shot is on Obi-wan because I didn't have points for Delta-B or CLT. It's a lesser CLT.
