Pick my tournament list

By DoubleNot7, in X-Wing

I'm undecided which list I want to play but leaning towards #1.

List 1

Night Beast

Academy TIE (x5)

List 2

Darth Vader w/Sqd. Ldr. + stealth

Howlrunner + stealth

Mauler Mithel + stealth

List 3

Saber Sqd Interceptors w/stealth + Vet Instincts (x3)

As you will notice, this is set for 75 points not 100.

#1 is my first instinct. But it's hard to think about what the opponents might run at only 75 points.

That is my first instinct also, although Vader is tempting. I've only run him in games two or three times total.

i like the vader list. hes great with engine upgrade but at 75pts thats harder to justify.

how about...


2x academy pilot


2x black squadron pilot + draw their fire


Howlrunner + stealth


keep howlrunner at range 2-3, b.sqd. pilots offer cover for her when she loses stealth.

Sabers with PtL would be fun

I dont understand the vader list you made. It looks awful to me. I get that you are going for high PS, however, stealth is expensive, Howlrunner's buff is only applying to 2 possible friendly ships, and Mauler Mithel is expensive for what you get (Backstabber is better methinks).

What about a little of each instead of all these duplicates??

2x Saber + PtL

Academy pilot

Winged Gundark (or Night Beast)

or

Howlrunner + Swarm Tactics

Saber Sq + PtL

Backstabber

Night Beast

List 3. At 75 points the "swarm effect" might not be as big as intended and the sabres have insane mobility and staying power like you play them. Also Turret weapons that basically excel against very mobile lists like this might be seen less frequently. But thats just a guess!
