Insidious Match

By dadocollin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I heard people weren’t really using the Darth Sidious side of Palpatine’s card much and it seems like he’s a good match for Matchstick who likes the stress. I’ve put together this list after trying one with bigger load outs and fewer ships. (I also like the thematic nature of Bariss in the list.) There is a lot of space to play with the extra points.

Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Barriss Offee - 42
•Barriss Offee - Conflicted Padawan (39)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (3)

V-19 Torrent Starfighter - •“Tucker” - 29
•“Tucker” - Blue Five (29)

ARC-170 Starfighter - •“Wolffe” - 79
•“Wolffe” - CC-3636 (50)
•Darth Sidious (14)
R2 Astromech (3)
•Ahsoka Tano (12)

BTL-B Y-wing - •“Matchstick” - 50
•“Matchstick” - Shadow Two (43)
Dorsal Turret (3)
R4-P Astromech (4)

Total: 200/200

Just a note for those looking to make use of Darth Sideous, he's the reverse side of this card which requires you to start Chancellor side up.

Sidious is criminally underused and any list that includes him gets a thumbs up in my book. Pairing with "Matchstick"? Good! Any list with "Tucker"? Good! I'm not sold on have Sheev's true self on board with "Wolffe" though. He's the heavy hitter of the list and doesn't need more reasons for your opponent to zero in on him. I swapped out Barriss for R2-D2 as the Palp carrier but a 104th Battalion Pilot will also work but will eat up the remaining points.

"Matchstick" (43)
Dorsal Turret (3)
R4-P Astromech (4)

“Wolffe” (50)
Ahsoka Tano (12)
R2 Astromech (3)

“Tucker” (29)

R2-D2 (35)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Chancellor Palpatine (14)
Total: 196
