Tekopo posted:It's a combination of unhinged astromechs, R4 Agromechs and a really good elite pilot with native EPT. Unhingeds make the Y-Wings really zippy, the agromechs allow you to use blaster turrets really efficiently and Kavil just has a really good pilot skill and has access to EPT. Rebel Y-Wings have much worse astromech choices and you are very limited because none of their elite pilots have a native EPT. I just started playing and was wondering. If I get the Most Wanted can I use some of the Y-wing upgrades on my rebel Y-wings? Like the astromechs and stuff. Wondering before I drop the $30.

BattleMaster posted:There's also autoblaster turret but I don't know if that's worth it outside of Kavil the scum pilot. Most Wanted is probably worth it just for the models and the non-scum cards though, and if you want to roll with just Y-wings Scum can't be beat. I'm guessing Scum Y-wing aren't sold outside of the Most Wanted box though. I know you can use rebel Y-wings in Scum as long as they have the correct inserts and cards. The question is, how many Y-wings could I fly using just the contents of a single Most Wanted box? (I have had an unhealthy love of Y-wings since I was a child. If I could fly a squad of mostly Y-wings I would be in love)

My FLGS is starting a casual play league and I'm brand new to the game. Rules are a different list for each week and you can't change your list during said week. First week I'm going to try out this one. Unless it's a terrible idea. Kavil (24) -Blaster Turret (4) -R4 Agromech (2) -Bomb Loadout - -Seismic Charges (2) Syndicate Thug (18) -Ion Cannon Turret (5) -Unhinged Astromech (1) -BTL-A4 Kaa'to Leeachos (15) Palob Godalhi (20) -Ion Cannon Turret (5) -Moldy Crow (3) I'm welcome to any and all criticisms, all I have under my belt is some kitchen table play.

Kai Tave posted:My immediate feedback is that Kaa'to probably isn't going to wind up worth the points, using his ability means taking stuff away from your other units to boost what's basically still a vanilla Headhunter with average Pilot Skill. Also that BTL-A4 title is going to frustrate the poo poo out of you every time someone loiters near your Syndicate Thug out of its firing arc. Are Ion Turrets generally not worth it? I've had great luck using them to lock stuff like Interceptors down, but then again, I only have kitchen table play under my belt. I also don't have a Lone Wolf talent card, and don't really have plans to pick up a YT-2400, so that's kind of out of the picture.

I don't get the hardcore comparison of the Kihraxz and the X-wing. I mean, I know they fulfill similar roles and all that, but Kihraxz is Scum only and X wing is Rebel only. It's not like you'll have to choose between one or the other when building a squadron.

Scum is it's own faction. Empire can take Boba Fett, but not because he's scum. When you buy the Slave 1 expansion you get Empire pilot cards for it.

I'm debating on picking up another Most Wanted set solely for the Y-wing. Running 4 Y-wings with TLT sounds like a ton of fun. I really don't need the Z-95's though. I already have 3. I really wish they'd sell Scum Y-wings separately.

So I really want to run Poe with the following setup. Poe Dameron (31) -BB-8 (2) -Autothrusters (2) -Push the Limit (3) I have another 62 points to play with. I'm debating on putting a K-wing in, just because it's a new toy and I'd like to use it. But I also really have no idea what a good setup for the K-wing is. I'm pretty new to the game and mostly play Scum, so I don't know exactly what's best for Rebels. Especially so since my local meta is basically all Empire or Scum players.

So the "Dutch Courage" list looks fun. Only bad thing is that I'm missing is Wes Janson. I can't really justify getting a Rebel transport since my local play group only plays at 100 points. Also, a quick search seems that finding a single of just Wes' pilot card is drat hard.

Icon Of Sin posted:Do you have any rebel Y-Wing cards/equipment? I have 2 scum starter sets so I've probably got some extra scum Y-Wing cards. My end goal is 2 more Scum Y-wings, so I was hoping to essentially get the Y-wing model itself, the two dials, pilot cards, and astromechs. Then I'd get a rebel Y-wing expansion and be set. I'm thinking someone out there may have created a bugzapper list with the Z-95's and not needed the Y-wing parts of the expansion.

Vitamin P posted:I was just at a charity shop and bought a whole load of those old Micro Machine ships for a quid. The scales are all over the shop but the Y-Wing, B-Wing and TIE Advanced are a very similar scale, and with an ink wash would look alright, just a bit 'stubbier'. I'm tempted to get a few extra stands and use them. As long as you have the right dials, tiles, and cards (or close enough proxies) I wouldn't care.

While wrong, if that's how your local group does it and it was measured that way for everything. No harm, no foul. But now you know better so you can do it right.

There's a escalation event coming up locally that starts at 60 pts that I'd like to join in on. I'm not the best at list building so I'd like to see if this is decent or if I should try something else So far I'm thinking for my start: Trandoshan Slaver (29) -Bossk (2) -Tactician (2) -Gunner (5) Cartel Marauder (20) Which leaves me with 2 more points, but I'm thinking of just leaving it as is since my next add-in for the 90 point round is 31 points. I also can't really think of a one-point fill that I really need.

The new dials look cool as hell, but at $10 for 3 I think I'm going to pass. That's either a ton of money in new dials or a ton of effort in changing them out every time you change ships for simply a cosmetic change.

If you target lock the turn you plan on using glitterstim his 5 dice can hit like a truck. If I have a spare point I'll put lightning reflexes him if only just to cheese an extra 5 dice shot. Take this with a grain of salt as my meta and myself aren't exactly cutthroat.

Cobbsprite posted:but I'm weaning him off of checking range after moving and stuff like that. Just to clarify, when is the proper time you can measure range? During activation I've been playing as you can only measure range when you're trying to target lock, and only towards the ship you're trying to lock. But I'm hazy on when during combat you can measure range. Any time? Only when you're actively "shooting" and only from that ship?

I still think it's bullshit that you can't buy a damage deck by itself. Templates are easy to get via people that sell acrylic sets, but the damage deck is the one thing that stops someone from starting as only Scum.

On Poe I've found Autothrusters is almost an auto-include. When out of arc or at range 3 he almost always gets two evades due to autothrusters and his ability. Only rolls that burn him are double blanks.

There's a small, more casual tournament coming up and I'm thinking of running this. I'm just at a debate on if I should fill the last 2 points with something or if I should just leave it at 98 for the initiative bid. I tried putting an Ion Bomb on Miranda in a few games I've tried with this, I'm just terrible at using and planning for bombs. 98/100 Poe Dameron (37) T-70 X-Wing (31), R5-P9 (3), Veteran Instincts (1), Autothrusters (2) Gold Squadron Pilot (26) Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), R3-A2 (2), Twin Laser Turret (6) Miranda Doni (35) K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6)
