Just Picked up some new ships

By The Imperial Rebel, in X-Wing

Just ordered a Lamda, B-wing and HWK which i'm VERY excited about, with those ships, my 2 core sets and tie-a and x-wing expansions i will be making this list ive worked very hard on!

Kyle Katarn + Blaster Turret + Recon Specialist + Determination + Moldy Crow (32)

Wedge + R2D2 (33)

Ten Numb + Senor Jammers (35)

Now my mind is basicly set on this being first squad i'm taking to a game store. I like it so much because...

I have 2 offensive powerhouse ships with defensive upgrades to keep them in the game. Kyle Katarn will stock up on focus tokens and can give them out Yet he still will be a force to take on with his 4 hull 1 shield determination! It seems like a well rounded setup to me.

Please tell me what you guys think.

I have 2 offensive powerhouse ships with defensive upgrades to keep them in the game. Kyle Katarn will only have to take 3 Focus tokens and then can devote all other actions to target locks! (granted actions will be wasted) Yet he still will be a force to take on with his 4 hull 1 shield determination! It seems like a well rounded setup to me.

Please tell me what you guys think.

cool list. b interested to see how it goes. any idea what players use at ur Local store?

i really like Garven Dreis in combination with Kyle as they can get some nice synergy going.

you ships are pretty balanced in terms of squad points but im sure wedge will be the primary target, especially early on.

for a more durable x-wing think about Luke too - he IS more defensive but will typically stay on the table longer than wedge. A nice simple but effective combo with Luke is shield upgrade + R2D2. it doesnt sound like u have that upgrade tho.

Yes i don't have shield upgrade. I originally had luke there but decided to go with wedge for some extra fire power so id get better use of the free focus token + with R2 if i have decent roles he could be out there for a while with the regen, I did consider wedge being targeted alot so i might have to go back to luke, but let's see like what you said people use in my area. I also thought of having Garven but with mofd focus being out there (which with recon i'll still be having good amounts of) i would like to utilize them with less supportive ships (2/3 supportive does not sound very good) but thanks for the idea

Kyle + Garven is really really really nice. The focus token passes through Garven, rather than landing on him. This can rebound the focus back into Kyle's tank if you wish, or onto a third ship.

Now, for Kyle/Wedge/Ten, I'd be tempted to turn Kyle into Jan Ors, and Wedge into Luke Skywalker, and have a Level 8 party.

You'll want to give Nien Nunb to Jan in place of a Recon Spec. for stress-clear, but Moldy Crow's still a good pick for her. Homegirl deals a lot of damage through her fellow shipmates.

Be careful of someone using multiple interceptors. If they play right, they can get to Kyle in a turn or two and rip him to shreds.
