Squad Building Challenge - The double HWK project

By The_Brown_Bomber, in X-Wing

I have used this build before:

HWK Kyle Katarn + Blaster Turret + Recon Spec + Moldy Crow (31)

HWK Rorak Garnet + Blaster + Saboteur (25)

B-Wing Blue Squad + Fire Control (24)

A-Wing Prototype + Stealth (20)

It actually worked pretty good, The HWK's were ignored at the beginning and they slowly picked ships apart with the turrets.

I made several that all have a minimum number of points dumped into the HWKs, so one of them might accidentally turn out to be semi-OK. :P

This first one is funny, just because you can actually make it...

99 points

Roark + Ion Cannon Turret

Rebel Operative + Ion Cannon Turret

Gold x3

Here's another try. I still don't really like it, but it's slightly better.

100 points

Wedge Antilles

"Dutch" Vander

Roark Garnet + Ion Cannon Turret + Chewbacca

Rebel Operative + Blaster Turret

This one probably has the fewest weaknesses, and makes the most use of Roark.

99 points

Roark Garnet + Ion Cannon Turret + Chewbacca

Rebel Operative + Ion Cannon Turret

Blue + Advanced Sensors x2

From the FAQ, page 4

"Q: Can “Dark Curse” be the target of a secondary weapon attack that requires the attacker to spend a focus token?

A: No."

Yup. Compare Carnor Jax, who shuts down the turret even if it's wanting to shoot at someone else.

In fairness, the blaster turret is about the only thing I can think of where that applies - other than just normal 'focus-becomes-hits'.

Kyle Katarn - Swarm Tactics, Recon Specialist, Moldy Crow = 29

Roark Garnet - Blaster Turret, Sabotuer = 25

Lando - Nien Nunb, MF Title = 46

I believe the only other instance would be using Deadeye to fire missiles or torpedoes.
