499-point Wing

By emeraldbeacon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

That's right. One wing of ships that comes to 499 points. Virtually a full epic squad encapsulated in 6 small base ships. You're playing with fire if you bring this to the table... sure, you're going to evaporate the enemy, one at a time if you can stay outside of their fire arcs... but get caught by one well placed bomb, or get blocked, or caught in a kill box, and you might as well scoop and walk away...

  • Anakin Skywalker (122)
    • Supernatural Reflexes
    • R2 Astromech
    • Delta-7B
    • Veteran Wing Leader
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi (76)
    • Foresight
    • R2 Astromech
    • Delta-7B
  • Plo Koon (73)
    • Foresight
    • R2 Astromech
    • Delta-7B
  • Mace Windu (83)
    • Foresight
    • R2 Astromech
    • Delta-7B
    • Dreadnaught Hunter
  • Luminara Unduli (71)
    • Foresight
    • R2 Astromech
    • Delta-7B
  • Ahsoka Tano (74)
    • Foresight
    • R2 Astromech
    • Delta-7B
  • TOTAL: 499

Who would you put where in the formation?

Anakin's obviously the wing leader (and hence supernatural reflexes) but I'd guess you'd probably want Mace in the #3 position (so his 24?cb=20180905025238 arc is the same as Anakin's when you eyeball boosts and rolls).

Not sure if Supernatural Reflexes is worth it. Anakin won't really be able to pre-move barrel roll, since he'll have a wingmate in the way if he tries it. Pre-move boost is decent, I guess, but barrel roll seems really important. I know the whole thing is mostly a joke, but still.

Say... Phantom Wing! A 2-length decloak would fit over the other ship, right? Haven't picked up a wing tool yet, so I'm not sure.

More hilarious would be making Echo the wing leader. Banana decloaks for everyone.

  • Echo (Wing Leader, Juke, Collision Detector, Shield Upgrade) 72
  • Whisper (Juke, CD, SU, BT-1, Dreadnaught Hunter) 88
    • Wait... huge ships are almost never stressed. BT/DH is probably not worthwhile... Meh.
  • Sigma (Juke, CD, SU, Fifth Brother, Dreadnaught Hunter) 86
  • Sigma (Juke, CD, Hull Upgrade) 66
  • Sigma (Juke, CD, Hull Upgrade) 66
  • Sigma (Juke, CD, Hull Upgrade) 66
  • -
  • Scarif Base Pilot (Darth Vader) 55
    • Total 499, bid 1. Could swap to more Hull Ugrades to swap Scarif for an Omicron Shuttle.

SuperInq Agent of the Empire says hi.

And agrees.

A bank boost and 5 straight carries a left/right support ship FAR .

Also safely through what would appear to be a far too tightly packed asteroid huddle.

Kinda think those Jedi may do considerably better not as a wing :D
