2 lists comprised of bombers.

By maya200, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm looking to create 2 lists to play against each other and was looking for ideas.

In terms of collection/factions I can basically field any faction and can can guarantee owning at least 2 of any small base ship (stuff that's been around a while/1.0 stuff I can usually do more - like b-wings, y-wings, tie bombers) Large/medium base ships I can do 1 of anything (consider me to have purchased 1 of every expansion in 1.0 + all the conversion kits for 2.0)

For imps I was thinking of going with:

Redline(87)

Trajectory Simlulator
Barrage Rockets

Cluster Mines

Proximity Mines

Ablative Plating
Skilled Bombardier

Deathrain(69)

Trajectory Simlulator

Cluster Mines
Proximity Mines

Ablative Plating
Skilled Bombardier

Deathfire(48)
Proximity Mines

cluster mines

Skilled Bombardier

I'm not looking for competitive I'm looking for fun/crazy somewhat equal builds (not too much of a list advantage either way). Thanks for the assistance.

First, a rules note: Trajectory Simulator is wasted points in this list . It can only launch Bombs (Proton Bomb and Siesmic Charges would be the only ones you'd want to consider), not Mines. With only Prox/Cluster mines, you won't be able to launch anything.

For the list, the place I'd start: a plain Scimitar TIE Bomber with Proximity Mines is a strong piece, and I'd start with as many of those as you could field . Any spare points, then, I'd fill up with Punishers, seasoned to taste. Skip the bombardier, and only one set of Prox Mines is enough.

Redline is a Lock machine--go for lock-based munitions. Plasma Torpedoes are the same price as Barrage Rockets, and probably more useful. Diamond Boron Missiles are cheaper and nearly as good, with that splash coming in handy potentially. The Passive Sensors + Cluster Missiles combo is wicked jank and cool, for two locks and a calculate token. Grab one missile/torpedo, and one bomb/mine, maybe Passive Sensors (really expensive since the update, so probably skip). I'd be willing to cut TrajSim off of Redline for points.

For Deathrain, TrajSim + Proton + Siesmic + Barrage Rockets is going to be really solid.

Ablative Plating isn't that great, but eh. Maybe it's needed to fill points (I might just go Hull instead). Bombardier isn't necessary, and Cluster Mines are wicked expensive and not good (most ships only need one payload equipped, if going two, it'll often be better to go prox + proton or proton + seismic). Two Bombers and two Punishers probably fits, or four Bombers and one Punisher, but 3 + 2 probably doesn't really work out with the list Tetris. Well, maybe if it was two TrajSim generics... hrm... That might be cool, probably bad.

For Rebels with Bombs, Y-Wings with Ion Cannon Turrets (probably mostly just leave them backwards for time-on-target) and Proton Bombs. Solid enough. The bomber Ys are 40 points, so if you can't field 5, just fill up with 40 point Blue X-Wings.

Thanks for the replies.

What about a device heavy list to face this one. I do not participate in OP stuff or play with strangers (just friends in my basement - at least I did) I'd love to do a 5 hyena bomber swarm(The guy I usually play against hates anything clone wars related so I could really troll him), but I currently do not own 5 hyena bombers (I own 2 with another 2 on the way)

Maybe scum?

Constable Zuvio(38)
cluster mine (6)

Captain Nym(61)
Cluster Mine(8)
Proximity Mine(6)

Sol Sixxa (60)
Prox mines

Cluster Mine(8)

Crymorah Goon(38)

cluster mines(8)

Since I have complete control over both lists I can really just go crazy, I just haven't ever tried doing anything like this before.

If you're talkin' scum, then why not what I consider the best bomber in the game?

Emon Azzameen (Firespray) with the Andrasta title and bombs/mines to taste? Then just add whatever else fits.

Everyone LOVES Boba Fett and forgets there's other pilots for the Firespray. Emon is a great heavy-duty bomber that can throw a good primary punch front OR rear!

Here's something I've done pretty good with. . .

Han Solo (48)
Trick Shot (4)
0-0-0 (5)
BT-1 (2)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Lando’s Millennium Falcon (3)

Emon Azzameen (71)
Bomblet Generator (5)
Hull Upgrade (5)
Andrasta (3)

Skull Squadron Pilot (47)
Fearless (3)
Total: 200

Han circulates around the outside shooting into the obstacle field, Emon tries to get ships to chase him, and the Fang gives extra cover to whichever piece of bait gets taken.
