Wave 3 Elite Squad (100 pts)

By Englishpete, in X-Wing

I have been toying with wave 3 B-Wings and this is going to be my first run out with a very elite squad. The squad can act in unison or alone. If acting in unison and flown correctly, Ten will get 3 actions per turn making him highly maneuverable and still able to land heavy hits.

Lando is as reliable as always and is always a good choice. It is only 2 ships, but it has a lot of hit points and hits hard itself.

I'm going to give it a buzz and see. Thoughts?

Total Squad Points: 100

Pilot: Lando Calrissian
YT-1300 (44)
Upgrades:

  • Millenium Falcon (1)
  • Nien Nunb (1)
  • Gunner (5)
  • Adrenaline Rush (1)


Pilot: Ten Numb
B-Wing (31)
Upgrades:

  • Advanced Sensors (3)
  • Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
  • Engine Upgrade (4)
  • Push the Limit (3)

Wouldn't Ibtisam be a better choice with that loadout? You'll make use of her ability more than you would Ten's, plus I think Ten is best equipped with the Autoblaster for making defense dice practically useless.

Or you could give Ten some torpedoes and FCS for the raining of fire from afar.

The B-Wing needs to move after Lando to use this build to full effect.

I like that you've got both Nine Nub and Ten Nub. I'm not sure why. :)

I've flown a bunch of two ship squadrons with the YT and Lando was one of my favorite. It is a tough row against TIE swarm, which is pretty popular... well, popular just about everywhere. You still only have 2 total evade dice, and that's rough.

I had success with Kyle Katarn w/recon specialist, moldy crow title, blaster turret; ibtisam w/FCS, adv torps, and HLC or autoblaster; & Biggs. Not sure on ibtisam's load out, but her and Kyle equaled 75 points, that's how Biggs fit at 25.

I am just not sold on the auto blaster, it holds you to a single play style to use it. I am a big lover of the HLC, four dice at any range and no def die modifiers is just lovely.

Plus Ten should be able to take any combo of action I like and do it before or after he moves. It should make him hard to hit and also good at hitting and Lando is just good at hitting period.

Plus the B-Wing is my absolute favorite ship.
