Grievous and Dooku

By Alino, in X-Wing Squad Lists

REPOSTING HERE after being informed that x-wing squad builder is not for squads..... I think people can see my confusion, lol

Hello! This is my first 200 point list I'm sharing here (New to X-wing.), and I just want to start off by saying I'm fairly flexible, but I am keeping Dooku in the list! I am a massive fan of the sith infiltrator (my favorite starship, and what made me decide to play Separatists.... well, that, then there's also the HMP Droid Gunship and the Tri-Fighter! Even though the Tri-Fighter probably won't be announced for like a year or more, sadly.)

LIST

Count Dooku w/ Tractor Beam & Scimitar
70 Points

General Grievous w/ Impervium Plating & Soulless One
54 Points

Trade Federation Drone
19 Points

Probably a bit light on upgrades, I was mainly unsure on if i should do this OR replace 1 TF Drone to get struts on the 3 others, plus DRK-1 Probes on Dooku, and then some other upgrades

I'm no expert on CIS, but if you're insistent on Dooku and Grievous as pilots, then I think you've pretty much got things right.

The Infiltrator is a very difficult ship to build with, but Dooku and Grievous crew on 0-66 can do things, with a swarm screen to protect them.

If dropping the 4th Vulture for more toys, 3x Struts and Buzz Droids would be my shout. My boy has thrown similar against me, those 3 droids are a real pest.

Are you sure you want to keep Dooku, or just want to keep the infiltrator? I'm not knocking Dooku, but Darth Maul with Hate seems pretty good, and you could use Dooku crew with that.

Also, what's the point to tractor beam here? It would take up Dooku's attack.. which is after grievous, so it won't interact with grievous' ability. since Dooku is only init 3, there's a very good chance he's shooting after his opponent, so it's interaction with Dooku's ability is limited as well.

If you drop 1 droid you could get struts on the remaining 3 (3 pts), Then you could get heightened perception (3pts, this would allow Dooku to occasionally shoot/tractor before pretty much anything else happens), Put Kraken on either Dooku or Grievous (10 points), and maybe something like Treacherous on Greivous (2 pts.)

I'm pretty new too though, so I'm not saying any of this is optimal. It's just stuff to think about. Also, I think some of what's "optimal" will depend on what you're likely to face.

Its a good list. I took Maul with sense and tractor, Chertek, and 4 drones to Worlds. This isnt much different, other than chertek and the nantex were broken 😛

I took maul for higher PS, you may want heightened on Dooku instead of Impervium on grievous.
