Sloan Aggressor Substitute

By Synel, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I’m wondering if I can build an adequate substitute for the Sloan reaper/aggressor with what I actually have. Of the relevant cheap ships, I have:

2x aggressors

1x v1

4x fighters

3x interceptors

2x bombers

2x strikers

I can see a couple builds that seem like they could work.

Captain Feroph - Sloane

2x seinar specialist - dorsal turret

4x academy pilot

OR

Captain Pheroph - Sloane

2x seinar specialist - dorsal turret

2x acimitar squadron bomber

1x black squadron scout

I've been pondering something like this:


Sienar Specialist (26)
Dorsal Turret (2)
Ship total: 28 Half Points: 14 Threshold: 3


Sienar Specialist (26)
Dorsal Turret (2)
Ship total: 28 Half Points: 14 Threshold: 3


Captain Feroph (47)
Admiral Sloane (9)
Ship total: 56 Half Points: 28 Threshold: 4


Academy Pilot (22)
Ship total: 22 Half Points: 11 Threshold: 2


Academy Pilot (22)
Ship total: 22 Half Points: 11 Threshold: 2


"Pure Sabacc" (43)
Ship total: 43 Half Points: 22 Threshold: 2


Total: 199

Pure sabaac is overpriced bait and runs around slinging extra dice unless the enemy decides to deal with him. And if they do deal with him, Sloan triggers for everybody else.

Oh, I like Pure Sabbacc in it, @missileaway !

I’ve had some good games with this setup:

Scarif Base Pilot (39)
Admiral Sloane (9)

Ship total: 48 Half Points: 24 Threshold: 4

Sienar Specialist (26)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Ship total: 31 Half Points: 16 Threshold: 3

Sienar Specialist (26)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Ship total: 31 Half Points: 16 Threshold: 3

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (27)
Proximity Mines (6)

Ship total: 33 Half Points: 17 Threshold: 3

Baron of the Empire (28)
Ship total: 28 Half Points: 14 Threshold: 2

Baron of the Empire (28)
Ship total: 28 Half Points: 14 Threshold: 2

Total: 199

It’s a multitool list, some swarmyness and some control pieces too. As you are missing a V1 maybe drop an Ion cannon turret to Dorsal and a Striker will fit. 🤔
