Resistance Transport

By ficklegreendice, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I like the little guy, even if it's overshadowed by the even littler guy in the same pack

Theory: gotta keep it as cheap as possible, despite the necessity of a few autoincludes (r4...)

Autoblasters seem like a steal for their game swinging capabilities should the transport be ignored

I'm partial to Noddin' because of his flexibility. He can coordinate into locks to fish crits or jam in order to contribute without ever firing a shot

Coordination Station (Big Deal)

(36) Nodin Chavdri [Resistance Transport]
(2) R4 Astromech
(2) Autoblasters
(6) Tactical Officer
Points: 46

(55) Nien Nunb [T-70 X-wing]
(0) Integrated S-foils
(1) Heroic
(5) Pattern Analyzer
Points: 61

(54) Temmin Wexley [T-70 X-wing]
(0) Integrated S-foils
(1) Heroic
Points: 55

(29) Finn [Resistance Transport Pod]
(8) Perceptive Copilot
(1) Heroic
Points: 38

Total points: 200

Alternative would be to get Lulo and Tallie over Finn and snap. With optics, you can still bid 3 points

Give Finn Threepio instead of PerCo.

You can then move Finn and double calc. Then Coordinate Nodin to get Finn to coordinate him back and trigger Nodin’s ability twice, plus the coordinate action. Overall you get 4 actions with Nodin. Take Korr Sella instead of Tac Officer to mitigate the stress.

This also results with Finn having 3 calcs.

Alternatively you can bounce the coordination through Finn to Temmin or Nien.

Also put composure on Temmin, force his pilot ability to fail and get the focus action instead. Then take a lock for double mods.

Eh, I'm not a fan of stressing Finn or calculates when he can roll focus naturally + his ability. Gonna pass on c3po

Composure Wex seems fun! Definitely haven't missed heroic on him, though?

Someone shared this list on discord when we were talking about beef lists(it's 40 hp on the table).

I've got ONE transport 😛

A friend threw out Nodin with Korr and R4 and it was an absolute BEAST! If you want more from it, you can throw on AdOps, PerCo, and Ion Cannon for a really brutal piece, but she gets pricey then...

What was he playing alongside Nodin?

Finn, BB-8, and...something...

I wanted to try Nodin + Vennie + Greer this week, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have enough damage output.

Update:

Noddin' is ******* wonderful

I was constantly comparing him to what a cheaper generic would've been able to do with c3po, and it's no contest. Being able to targetlock or jam after coordinating makes Nodin' infinetly more useful in the turns during which he isn't shooting (which are quite a few, since he can't joust)

Autoblasters never got a crit despite TL rerolls, but they provided the bullseye die quite a few times. Hard to avoid in an obstacle cluster

Just wasnt super satisfied with Nien. Seemed real fragile for his cost, and nowhere NEAR as fun as Snap boosting around everywhere. Will replace with bb Pava and give Finn Optics.

Tried this recently and it was fun:

- Poe (Heroic, R4 Astromech, Heavy Laser Cannon, Integrated S-Foils)
- Tallissan Lintra (Heroic)
- Greer Sonnel (Heroic)
- Cova Nell (Heroic, Pattern Analyzer, R4 Astromech)
