Gunship Shuffle

By Watcher42, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just wondering if people think this would work, the main idea is to use wolf pack to aquire at least 1 lock then to use that single lock to fire all the missiles and using dedication and the LAATs ability to mod where necessary.

"Warthog" (54)

Cluster Missiles (4)
Wolfpack (4)
"Fives" (3)
Clone Commander Cody (4)
Synchronized Console (1)

WartPack is good with any generic heavy list. Even more so with a slew of missile-toting Torrents. Cody and Fives also play well together which is a plus. I'm just not sold on equipping missiles on LAATs yet. My very, very limited experience leans more toward having them circle the main engagement area which doesn't lend itself to having opponents in the forward arc often. But your experiences and play style may be completely different.

Tbh I made a massive mistake with the list, I have a habit of adding words when reading in my head so reading dedicated I saw it as a reroll for attack and defence, so I'd drop all the dedicated 😄

Then I'd possibly lose Cody and fives for Ahsoka on Warthog so 1 of torrents can lock and still focus if you out initiative your opponents.

I get what your saying with Warthog, I normally try to joust with him but I can see advantages of circling around with him, but if he does have front arc clusters is a good boost to his attack, so in theory there's about 10 attacks possible with this list, 5 on 2 targets with decent mods.

Wouldn't it be difficult to keep with Warthog both your opponents in arc and your torrents? For Ashoka to work.

What about Plo Koon for defense instead? Not only lets you reinforce, but can also deny some crits on Warthog and nearby torrents, and also strain tokens from Wolfpack/dedicated

Plo is good, I have considered him, but Ahsoka triggers quite easily as you can move Warthog first so he's ahead of the pack and can choose a v-19 in his rear arc behind him.

Tbh Plo is probably more consistent than Ahsoka with his defence, I'll try him out, I sometimes get a little to fixated on getting good attack mods 😄
