Fenn Rau + Genesis Red + something else (HS)

By Boreas Mun, in X-Wing Squad Lists

It seems that Fenn Rau will be very good in HS, because of lack of many good I6 ships. Also there should be many low Ini ships, under I5. Genesis Red is a monster when he can lock focused ship and fire Torpedoes(also at R1 it is a good ship for 44 points). So i'm starting with Fearless Fenn Rau and Proton Torpedoes Genesis Red. I played them with 2x 1I Fangs and it worked well:

3 bid. Alpha is pretty strong, but I'm not sure if 1I Fangs are better than alternatives.

There is an option with 7 bid Slave 1 ` Emon to arcdodge 4 or less Ini ships and control with Seismics(no Protons in HS, maybe Clusters?):

Or downgrade Protons to Plasmas and take Fearless Boba, no bid (but you want even small bid with Genesis and Fenn, maybe without Fearless?)

What do you think?

I think the 2 Zealous Recruits look a solid choice.

But I do also like the idea of Emon/Koshka. There is the danger that Fenn, Boba represent in the mirror, but I still feel like the 3rd ship adds a nice kink.

Not entirely sure it can stand up that well to high ship counts with a Firespray not called Boba, but still.

Personally been looking at Boba, Fenn and Sunny. Scums 3 greatest pilots in one list can't be bad.

You could also toss in Nom Lumb with Autoblasters, replacing one Zealous Recruit, to have something chunky in the list. Also large base i1 blockers can be amazingly annoying to deal with for your opponent.

Fenn with Fearless and Genesis with ProTorps leaves room for a nicely kitted Dengar? Ion Cannon and/or maybe a torp, PerCo, possibly ExHan?

I was thinking about Dengar. Torps are good only with Maul crew on him.

Maybe Expert Handling, Maul, Ion Cannon, Adv Protons/Plasma Torpedoes?

I will try Nom Lumb, but don't have a card yet.

I would think that would be overinvesting in a JM5K. You won't get that many points out of him.

Title + R3 gets you some nice action economy for when you're stressed and a bigger gun for when you're out of torps. Drop Maul and Ion. Between EH and LW it's just what you prefer or need.

Personally I wouldn't bother with torps but would just bring Autoblasters and leave the arc facing the rear. Expert Handling or Lone Wolf, maybe L3 or something, but keep him light.

And don't leave home without your Contraband Cybernetics.

So Dengar is not good for my list, because I'd have points only for a Tie and I do not want a naked tie in a list like this.
