Scum has landed in Calgary! With a store championship in 2 days...

By n3ctaris, in X-Wing

...any thoughts on what squads we might see?

I will likely be rocking a dual IG-88 list, but I have no idea what to expect from the other 25 odd players! (Except one, he ALWAYS fly's a 7 TIE swarm)

Dual-IG's are my guess for the most common, as it's a pretty easy build. Other people have talked often of mass warthogs (title Y-wings) and Scum Boba with a friend.

A 4-Y-wing Scum squad took first in our 3-round mini-tournament last night. It seems to be a decent build.

Seven Z-95s with Feedback Array :)

double ig88

double scum firespray

scum firespray + 2 ion turret y wings

plus all the usual stuff

So what's the street date?

My lgs told me even if he gets it today won't be able to sell it till the 27

But i thought 26 was the street date

well, considering FFG just posted an article saying Scum is available, I'm going with today. :-)

I got my Scyks in advance of the rest, so I played a 4 Scyk build through a few games. Tansarii Vets with Calculation and Mangler Cannons, with Serissu, Swarm Tactics, and Mangler. It was ok. It was fairly obnoxious against a TIE Fighter list, creamed a Decimator, but took it in the shorts against some twin Firesprays (Kath/Emmon). I wouldn't consider it a good list and the Scyk is superfrail when you start talking the 20+ point versions. The dial was pleasant enough, sorta between a TIE and a Interceptor (honestly, what I think the TIE/Adv dial probably should have been), and the models looked way nicer in person than they did in the previews. I just don't think Scyk spam will ever be a good idea. A one-off with a Cannon for 20-22 pts, sure. 4 of them? Good luck.

Strange...., I had a short vision of armed aliens comming out of a battered HWK in the middle of the speedskate-stadium.... :lol:

scum not available everywhere, Australia left without most wanted! supposedly the containers leaving china forgot to put most wanted in them. it all has to be airlifted from the US

In the Low Countries it generally takes two weeks after release in the US to see the arrival of new stuff.

So somewhere along Friday the 13th :D
