Anonymous defenders

By Rubales, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hi!

I'm participating in a tournament that requires a list without named pilots...

I'm thinking about these 'anonymous' heroes:

==========================
Alpha-class StarWing: Rho Squadron Pilot (35 + 10)
+ Fire-Control System (2)
+ Advanced SLAM (3)
+ Xg-1 Assault Configuration (0)
+ Ion Cannon (5)


TIE/D Defender: Onyx Squadron Ace (75 + 2)
+ Fire-Control System (2)


TIE/D Defender: Onyx Squadron Ace (75 + 2)
+ Fire-Control System (2)

Total: 199 p.

What do you think about it? I like the idea of having 2 defenders... Maybe with another mate or set up?

A generic coordinator might get you some milage out of the defenders. Also, at ps 4 the higher generics would practically be aces in a generic tournament.

Part of me really, really wants to throw Juke on those Defenders; and since that would pretty much eliminate the possibility of a third ship, you could just load them down with HLC and Prockets for extra punch at all ranges.

With the Defenders as-is, the Rho pilot seems like a good choice; another option would be a Reaper, flown by a Scarif Base Pilot with some ISB Slicers thrown on for blocking / jamming shenanigans.

Edit: Heck, you could throw a Tactical Scrambler on the Reaper too, if you're not worried about your bid.

I love the idea of including a Reaper...

I think I could try something like this:

==========================
TIE/D Defender: Onyx Squadron Ace (75 + 3)
+ Crack Shot (1)
+ Fire-Control System (2)
TIE/D Defender: Onyx Squadron Ace (75 + 3)
+ Crack Shot (1)
+ Fire-Control System (2)
TIE Reaper: Scarif Base Pilot (41 + 3)
+ ISB Slicer (3)

Total: 200 p

Reaper and 2 Defenders is solid even in regular games.

2 deltas

1 omicron with title and palp or Cienna+collision detector
