Kath Scum list

By Rain King, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm thinking of trying this at a small tournament this weekend and would like some feedback. Kath rolls 4 dice forward and aft, 5 at range one behind her. Stay on Target helps fine tune her position for the best shot.

-Gunner (5)

-Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

-Stay on Target (2)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17) x2

-Veteran Instincts (1)

I flew the M3A Interceptor for the first time the other day. Its fast. But I don't like its lack of hard 2 turns ! Other than that it was fun to fly with a mangler on it ! I like your list, I am a big fan of Kath !

You mean 3 turns? Otherwise you have a bad dial...

Im interested in seeing how this list does. Recently I have been seeing people swear to the Kath and Palob pair up. I guess its just a matter of what you like more in options for a squad. Tell us how it works out. Im trying to wrap my brain around the StarViper thing at the moment

I'm may replace the Stay on Target with Lone Wolf. SoT gives a stress and I'd rather keep my action, I think.

I'm not sure gunner is what I would use with min. 4 dice attacks unless your local meta is lots of phantoms/stealth devices, with any kind of dice modification a complete miss will be rare. Recon specialist would save a couple points and give a defensive bonus as well, or possible a k4, although I haven't tried that yet.

Yes 3 turns sorry...was at work , dial was at home !

i like putting marksmanship on the M3A. people tend to go after the big ships and only attack the little guy if its their only shot. a couple of crits from him each round is nice

Wouldn't Calculation be more efficient? Saves you 2 points, produces the same maximum number of crits, and preserves your focus for defense on the occasions you roll all hits, crits, or blanks naturally (or the occasions when you get shot before your PS step and would die without having a focus to spend).

Calculation doesnt preserve focus...spend focus to change an eyeball to a crit...rather spend focus to change eyeball to crit and all others to hits

You don't have a focus to spend if you use your action for Marksmanship...
