Having Fun with Scum

By barabelsftw, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So here's a list I whipped up. Really looking forward to trying it out. It might do well or just plain suck. What do you think? Can really ruin a phantom's day, and all the ships are hard to take down.

Torkhil Mux (At the end of the Activation phase, choose 1 enemy ship at Range 1-2. Until the end of the Combat phase, treat that ship's pilot skill value as "0".) (19)

Tansarii Point Veteran wth predator, title (cannon) HLC (29)

Serissu (When another friendly ship at Range 1 is defending, he may reroll 1 defense dice.) With stealth device. (23)

So basically if you fly it right you can get an opponent down to 0 PS (suck it phantoms) If you focus the TPV's they'll get a 4 attack, focused attack with 2 rerolls. There's no easy choice to target for your opponent. Serissu is tough to hit and he makes the other 3 tough to hit.

Looks good, but I might knock the HLC down to Manglers. Those ships can be a bit fragile for such big (and expensive) guns. Use those points to bump up Torkhil a bit.

Probably not a bad Idea but I almost want torkhil to be my weak link because phantom list's will target him fist anyway so I want to put the hurt on them with the hlc's

I don't like naked HWK. If Muk has no damage potential, I would suffer through his PS shenanigans and get in close to the scyks. Chadwick's suggestion is good but it definitely brings down the fire power.

Though I like the veteran load out, I'm going to have a hard time paying the same price as a blue squadron with HLC for only 3 hp.

What if you try this?

Nuk with lone wolf

Serissu

3x cartel pilot with title and manglers

You get one extra ship. The mini swarm will be dangerous and Serissu acts like Biggs. I would prefer a stealth device but I'm short two points. Nuk is a great flanker.

same thing. i would ignore mux and simply shoot down your tansarii's. you lose one and youre down to almost half your offense.

with serissu's reroll i expect that that only at most equate to onemore hull. so it will die about as fast as an xwing.

Serissu also isnt biggs. he/she is actually anti biggs in this case, i would completely ignore Serissu. no damage output.

Maybe just 4x mangle scyks and Nuk with Lome wolf. Run scyks in teams of two that slow roll first couple turns for Nuk to get around them. Five ships with decent damage potential and respectable defense dice.

Where in the list is the TPV upgrade ?
