X-Wing: The Bloody Red Baron

Carnor Jax. The Jax-hole, The Carnor-fex. The Bloody Red Baron of X-wing. This guy can be pretty amazing. Granted he is flying an Interceptor and they can be a very fragile glass-cannon but he can also be an offensive powerhouse and exceedingly annoying.

His X-wing Superpower is NO FOCUS NO EVADE. EVER. Well at least at range 1....

The coolest thing about him? His ship is RED... Blood Red....Blood for the Blood God!!!! OOOOppps that just slipped out. Sorry.

But Seriously Folks. Carnor can be a beast if you kit him out well... he is still a glass cannon but you need stuff to distract your opponent from taking shots at him. Pair him up with Dark Curse and laugh.

What to put on him?
Well he can take the Royal Guard title which allows TWO modifications. But Which ones? Well preferably ones that make him harder to kill. Hull and Shield Upgrades are usually what I like to use. OR maybe a Shield and Stealth Device.

He also has an Elite Pilot Skill... Which leaves all kinds of good stuff to make his glass cannon more cannon and less glass.

Offensive

Outmanuever is a good one that reduces agility on ships making it easier to hit them, especially at range one where they can't use focus or evade to mitigate your 4 attack dice and focus.

Marksmanship is another good one that makes it a super focus since you can change one to a crit. But remember that your opponents can use this against you as well since it is not a focus action or token.

Opportunist means you gain a stress to get an extra attack dice and since you want this guy at range one all the time you are looking at 5 attack dice. That's Nice.

Swarm tactics if you plan to team him up with a cheap noob for extra firepower and Carnor's ability can help shield him a bit.

Predator works well if you know you are going up against the swarm or the PS 2 BBXX list the rebels have been using.

Defensive

Determination is good if you are trying to reduce the amount of glass in this cannon as well and it is only a point if you are tight on points.

Expert Handling could be good if you know you are facing a lot of rebel players and their annoying target locks.

Lists with Carnor

Offensive List 100 points
Carnor Jax with Opportunist, Royal Guard TIE, Shield and Stealth
Omicron Shuttle with Adv Sensors and Vader riding dirty...
3 x Academy Noobs

This list gives you a good punch with lots of ships to take damage and Vader to finish off what Jax doesn't kill outright.

Defensive List 100 Points
Carnor Jax with Determination, Royal Guard TIE, Shield and Hull
Omicron Shuttle with Adv Sensors and Anti-Pursuit Lasers
Bounty Hunter with Gunner and Anti-Pursuit Lasers

Shields and Hull should add some beef to the Jax Burger and keep him in the fight longer. In case he does get crited Determination will keep him from being neutered and add some health to boot. The Shuttle gets in the way and maintains some maneuverability with sensors allowing it to focus before making all of those dang red maneuvers on its dial. The Bounty Hunter is the boy decoy who shoots stuff with his big gun and distracts you opponent away from Carnor who should be getting stuck in. The APLs are there for a little bonus damage and to make your opponent over think his maneuvers.

Hopefully our bloody Red Baron of X-wing doesn't run into this guy...
