Spinland 314 Posted September 2 USAF folks will get it. A/SF-01 B-wing - •Braylen Stramm - 60 •Braylen Stramm - Blade Leader (52) Ion Cannon (6) Stabilized S-foils (Open) (2) A/SF-01 B-wing - •Ten Numb - 56 •Ten Numb - Blue Five (48) Ion Cannon (6) Stabilized S-foils (Open) (2) T-65 X-wing - Red Squadron Veteran - 41 Red Squadron Veteran - (41) Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0) T-65 X-wing - Red Squadron Veteran - 41 Red Squadron Veteran - (41) Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0) Total: 198/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder Basic first stab at a BBXX list that's Hyperspace legal. Idea is the Bs charge in for a knife fight, with a chance at double tapping plus their stress mods, while the Xs fan out left/right for flanking (or just closing gaps in the kill box) opportunities with their speedier dials. Beyond the stress/double tap stuff on the Bs there aren't any real shenanigans going on here, ran out of points pretty quickly. Rebel beef and potatoes? Rebel is the third (and probably final) faction I'm interested in getting into, insights or ideas are more than welcome as I explore what they have to offer. My 2.0 Core Kit and Rebel Conversion Kit arrived so I have lots of dials and cardboard at my disposal. 1 cybercat07 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybercat07 42 Posted September 2 I like it. Packs a punch, and straight forward. 1 Spinland reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theBitterFig 11,598 Posted September 2 I'd consider adding Fire Control System to Ten Nunb. Getting a reroll on his first attack is going to be pretty nice, and help him be able to spend the stress. A lot of folks will say "Ion isn't worth it" and that's not exactly true. Ion--if your squad doesn't also bring damage--isn't worth it. Ion where you do bring damage? Yeah, it's solid. 2 Spinland and Gupa-nupa reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a couple of left-over points and totally overlooked that left room for a FCS. Yeah, I'm not generally excited about the Ion Cannon but I wanted to have some double-tap ability and it was those or Autocannons. ICs have a better arc of fire and still can do a damage point plus the ionizing. Edited September 2 by Spinland Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spinland 314 Posted September 2 And, as luck would have it (I try to stick to builds that use ships I physically own) today I scored a small pile (well, five) of used T-65 models minus any cardboard or cards. Decent price and low shipping. Between the Core Kit and picking up two Rebel Conversion Kits I now have more than enough physical game components to field some X-Wing Spam if I feel like having five of them going at once. I can now easily handle the two in this list, too. 😎🍺 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spinland 314 Posted September 2 Alternate version. Dropped the sure 3 dice Ion Cannons for 2+1 (if bullseye), in exchange for beefing up the Bs a little. A/SF-01 B-wing - •Ten Numb - 58 •Ten Numb - Blue Five (48) Fire-Control System (2) Autoblasters (3) Hull Upgrade (3) Stabilized S-foils (Open) (2) A/SF-01 B-wing - •Braylen Stramm - 60 •Braylen Stramm - Blade Leader (52) Autoblasters (3) Hull Upgrade (3) Stabilized S-foils (Open) (2) T-65 X-wing - Red Squadron Veteran - 41 Red Squadron Veteran - (41) Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0) T-65 X-wing - Red Squadron Veteran - 41 Red Squadron Veteran - (41) Servomotor S-foils (Open) (0) Total: 200/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sm00thB0r3 43 Posted September 3 I’d try something like this for hyperspace. The Bs are still beefed up, but you have a couple of goodies on the Xs. Braylen - Marksmanship, Autoblasters, HU Ten - Marksmanship, Autoblasters, HU RSV x2 - S-foils, Marksmanship Total 198 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to the Wiki Marksmanship isn't HS legal but the latest points list says it was just re-added. Hmm. I'd want to keep the S-foils for the Bs because doubletap, and the FCS for Ten because mods, but the HU are negotiable. Hmm.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
