Mux It Up

By Keiththegamergeek, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I threw this Scum list together on the fly. It seems like it'd work best against list that have a single "linch pin" ship.

Mux It Up (100 points)

Torkil Mux (19)

  • Blaster Turret (4)
  • Stealth Device (3)
  • Recon Specialist (3)
  • Moldy Crow (3)
  • Dead Man's Switch (2)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)

  • Predator (3)
  • "Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2)
  • "Mangler" Cannon (4)

Cartel Spacer (14)

  • "Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2)
  • "Mangler" Cannon (4)

Cartel Spacer (14)

  • "Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2)
  • "Mangler" Cannon (4)

Looks awesome!

I'd be tempted to switch it up like this:

Torkil Mux (19)
Serissu (20)
Predator (3)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)
Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Predator (3)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)
Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Predator (3)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)
Total: 100
Just think of Mux as an optional Biggs that is going to die pretty quickly. If he's ignored for targets that pose an actual threat he's amping up Predator for the rest of his squad. If he's targeted first, he did Biggs' job for 6 points less and still got a round (maybe two) of extra benefit out of Predator.

I like it!

Though you could easily drop Serissu's Predator and put on Flechette to include an Ion Turret on Torkhil Mux. Or heck, put on an Auto Blaster Turret and either drop Serissu's Mangler to a Flechette or the Predator to VI. That way Mux isn't COMPLETELY useless. I mean, I saw a guy make Roark + ABT pull off some wins the other day, so it has some value I think!

Serissu + Predator + HSI + Flechette Cannon

Tansari + Predator + HSI + Mangler

Tansari + Predator + HSI + Mangler

Torkhil Mux + Auto Blaster Turret

I'd fly it.

Just need 3 copies of Predator now...

This is a tricky list getting more than two predators in there that are worth it. I don't know if predator and flechette cannon would be on Serissu...

What about something like this?

100 points

Torkhil Mux (25) HWK-290 (19), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Greedo (1)

Serissu (23) M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (20), Push the Limit (3)

Tansarii Point Veteran (26) x 2 M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (17), Predator (3), “Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2), “Mangler”

Mux still has some beef with Ion+Greedo working...still dangerous ability that Serissu can protect. Serissu might be the number one target but with PTL you can focus/evade each turn and protect your predators. Forces the tough choice for the opponent to take out Serissu first or not...if not she can protect mux and the other Vets which is what you want.

Maybe a betters solution would to just have a bunch of shield upgrades instead of Serissu?

I'd be tempted to switch it up like this:

Torkil Mux (19)
Serissu (20)
Predator (3)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)
Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Predator (3)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)
Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Predator (3)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Yeah, Mux is a little fat in my build.
