Really want Dengar back -- not as a meta monster, but worthwhile.

Red 42, locking s-foils in attack position!
TheHumanHydra replied to Fourtytwo's topic in X-Wing Painting and Modification
Those are some real nice repaints. -
I'm no painter, but these look impeccable. Bravo. If you ever feel like doing another, there's always Red 1 from Return of the Jedi.

How has Dengar been in your games so far? If not yet decent, what does he need (R4? Crew slot?)? That's a cool alt-frame. Did you make it?

I think they have a lot of product to push out between re-releases and adding new factions and that we might see more new content for the classic ships once all this has abated (aces packs, a campaign box or cardboard expansions).

It sounds like Xia.

2nd Edition Ships are all I could hope for

Ooh, pretty. -
Neat idea. You could also do Rogue Squadron (Wedge, Luke, Ten Numb, Gavin Darklighter, Corran Horn, probably others, but not Yavin Red Squadron members). Shouldn't Talonbane Cobra be with the Tansarii Point Veteran, by his/her subtitle? I feel like there are some other Galaxies Tansarii people, but I don't know that lore (edit: maybe you got them all; that feels about right). Should the Black Squadron Scout Striker be allowed into Black Squadron? You could also let all the Strikers be a squad together, since they were all (but the Black Squad) stationed on Scarif together.

Argh, am not able to go, it turns out. That's a real nice list. You're right, CD will help with my inevitable asteroid bowling. Unfortunately, Vader's not available to me as I know my brother will fly him. I'll have to think of someone else. Thanks, though -- I'm actually going to recommend that to my brother since he likes all three of those ships.

Might be going to the store for game night for the second time ever. I need to figure out an Imperial list. With two Interceptors, one Phantom and one Striker, what can I build? If I borrow a Star Wing, TAP, Defender, Aggressor or two, couple Fighters, or Bomber from my brother, can I build something better (preferably leaning on my own ships)? Here's a starting point -- Soontir Fel (52) Predator (2) Alpha Squadron Pilot (34) “Whisper” (54) Juke (5) “Duchess” (42) Predator (2) Total: 191 View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0 -- but I feel there's too much squish and too much asked of my skill. I'm kind of scared of flying the Phantom. The Alpha could become one of them new VTG Aggressor hotnesses (with but a three-point bid). Or a Barrage Bomber. Those would provide some more beef. Soontir Fel (52) Predator (2) Hull Upgrade (7) “Duchess” (42) Predator (2) Fifth Brother (9) Sienar Specialist (30) Ion Cannon Turret (4) Veteran Turret Gunner (6) Sienar Specialist (30) Ion Cannon Turret (4) Veteran Turret Gunner (6) Total: 194 View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0 I dunno.

Do you have any other ships? Assuming you don't, running some of the most expensive aces will probably get you the most punch for your points. Definitely run Soontir, with Predator and whatever other upgrades. Running high-initiative aces also legitimizes not spending some of your points to form a bid, so as to give your opponent initiative and move any tied ships last. What about something like this? Soontir Fel (52) Predator (2) Shield Upgrade (8) Turr Phennir (44) Predator (2) “Howlrunner” (40) Crack Shot (1) Afterburners (6) “Mauler” Mithel (32) Predator (2) Total: 189 View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0 If you feel that bid is too high, you could put an Afterburners on maybe Mithel as well, or whatever else you like. Actually, Hask has good firepower and is close to Mithel in price too, so he wasn't a bad choice -- Mithel just has higher initiative, which I feel is your plan with this last. Mithel could be Skutu, too -- whichever ability you think will be easiest to trigger. I put Crack Shot on Howlrunner because people might target her first, so she might only get one chance to use her elite talent, but whatever suits you (though, hmm, that contradicts my thought of keeping her alive for a bit via Afterburners. You can fiddle around!).

Why Dengar on Bossk and BT-1 on Moralo? Wouldn't BT-1 buff Bossk?
-
Hmm. What about Fett with Maul and Slave I for 99 points? Maul over Perceptive Copilot allows for boosting or reinforcing with an eyeball mod up.

My one contribution to the classic name mashups was Denguri. I called my first 2E list First Stab of the Saber (guess who was in it).
