Nom Lumb + Skull Squadrons

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hyperspace list with Nom Lumb. Basic idea is to separate the two sets of ships and have you opponent choose one or the other. Or against Aces, you can spread them all out and set up some kill boxes. Dengar on Nom Lumb is just fun and makes him fun and tough to want to shoot at. I could take or leave the title but didn't see much else to do with that 5 points. Maybe could go with a rigged cargo chute instead.

It's fine.

I would go for a Cannon over Punishing One, however. Nom Lumb is kind of inconsistent where his guns point, so I think I'd rather have the fixed-front reliability of an Ion Cannon or Autoblasters. Worst-case scenario with Punishing One is that you've got a good Range 1 shot, but an opponent makes you flip your guns backwards.

Ion Cannon, or Autoblasters + Contraband Cybernetics would probably be the best ways to go.

This, but I still like the idea of Dengar gunner.

I wouldn't want to use cargo. The Fangs can afford to group, joust and chase a great many things, so space on the table is mostly fine and often handy.

I think Nom maybe offers a nice alternative to a 4th Skull there and can shore up some of their weaknesses.

I'm weirdly attracted to Boba crew and Autoblasters. I found deployment quite critical, flying the Jump, and felt that placing at I6 was almost Dengars best facet.
