How doed thid look for a buy list for getting into the game with S&V. I will be getting damage deck & templates from a friend.

Scum & Villainy Expansion x3

M3A Scyk pack x4

Star Viper pack x1 (maybe 2?)

Possibly IG 2000 x3 but unsure

Opinion and help with if this is a good buy list appreciated or any other suggestions.

You should probably throw the core set in there because things like range ruler and asteroids.

If you want a thorough S&V list you should add two Firesprays and two Hwks.

Quite a wretched hive you have there.

What do you think of the IG2000 from what we've seen?

When you are talking about starting do you mean from nothing or from what you already have in your collection?

If from nothing then you should always start with the core set as it is the starter set that has essential items such as rule book and movement templates and dice.

Now with the MW pack it is designed for people that already have a collection. To be able to use everything that comes in the MW pack you will also need a Y-Wing, a HWK-290, and a Slave-1 expansion pack as well. That will be enough to easily build a 100 point standard S&V squadron.

Now getting more packs depends on what type of squadron you are trying to build. If you want a ScumZie swarm then 3 MW packs would do that. If you want a double Firespray or double Scumhawk then you would need atleast 2 (along with the accompanying expansions). However I would recommend the core set if you haven't got it first and then the MW pack,and the accompanying Y-Wing, HWK-290, and Slave 1 before any additional MW packs. Or a single MW pack and some S&V expansions.

If you have no ship at all, I would personnally get only 2 of the Scum Expension and IG-2000 (I do believe every ship will cost 36 pts since the developper dropped the exact price in an interview while talking about the ship and didn't say between X and X) since you probably won't be able to field more than 2 in a 100 pts squad. With the money saved, I would pick a Firespray, a HWK and a second Star Viper.

2x Scum and Villainy pack

4x MA-3 Interceptor

2x Starviper

2x Aggressor

1x HWK-290

1x Firespray

I'd suggest...

1x scum and villainy

2x starviper

2x m3a

1x IG2000

1x firespray

1x hwk-290

I find that there isn't very many builds with multiple medium ships, so having 3 IGs is a little overkill. You'll want a firespray though to take advantage of the stuff in the S&V pack. You also want a hwk-290 for the same reason.

This collection will give you more than enough to get started, and let you test out all of what S&V has to offer.

If after trying everything out, you feel you NEED more M3As or another IG, then you can pick those up seperately. But as is, there is no reason to get 2-3 times what you need straight out of the gate. Last thing you want to do is buy 3 IGs and realize you never play more than 1.

My biggest concern would be the lack of upgrade options you'll have. But if your friends that you play with are willing to let you use upgrades that you don't actually have, then you'll be ok.
