Scum: Guri and M3A

By Sirdrasco, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Played 100 pt Scum list last night

Used Guri as flanker

Autothrusters, Viagro, Advance Sensors, and Predator

3 x M3A

Binary pilots, Heavy Sycke title cards and Mangler cannons (20 points each)

The M3A were flying in and hammering the ships while Guri came into the flank. Seemed to do good. My opponents firespray just took crit after crit. Although if tagged the M3A burst lie tie fighters, but overall a fun list.

That's a build I planned to run in casual games. I think it has way too few hit points for serious play.

I think a y-wing and 3 z-95s would be more playable, though scyks are fun.

Last night I got a win in with this list:

STAR VIPER: · Guri (30)

Predator (3)

Autothrusters (2)

· Virago (1)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Inertial Dampeners (1)

HWK-290: · Torkil Mux (19)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Binayre Pirate (12)

Y-WING: Syndicate Thug (18)

Blaster Turret (4)

R4 Agromech (2)

My own variation

Guri (predator, autothrusters)

Cartel (title, mangler, hull)

Thug (auto-blaster, unhinged)

Thug (auto-blaster, unhinged)

at four health, I'm far less worried about the Scyk than I would be at tie fighter stats. It's a nice, solid, dependable little bugger that provides one of scum's few sources of effective and efficiently priced long ranged firepower.

I have a similar list.

Xizor - FCS, Autothrusters, Virago

2 Z-95 to receive damage for Xizor

2 M-3A's with mangler cannons. They are used as flankers.

Here is one I like:

Serissu + VI + HSI + Flechette/Ion

Cartel + HSI + Mangler

Cartel + HSI + Mangler

Guri + Predator/Bodyguard + Autothrusters

Both variations with Predator and Bodyguard are pretty neat, and maybe, just maybe, the Bodyguard upgrade can see some use on Guri! I suppose just need the right support, and beefing up Serissu doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. Though Predator is obviously the more well rounded answer.

Hmm. Guri makes so much sense with bodyguard. She/it is in the picture but I didn't really consider it cuz I didn't want to take Guri and Xisor.

Her ability can't guarantee that she won't have to use an action for focus but she is more durable than say Leechos.

What about this list for Guri as bodyguard:

HWK-290: · Palob Godalhi (20)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

STAR VIPER: · Guri (30)

· Bodyguard (2)

Autothrusters (2)

· Virago (1)

Sensor Jammer (4)

Y-WING: · Kavil (24)

Push the Limit (3)

Autoblaster Turret (2)

Unhunged Agromech (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Guri can guard either ship. All three want to be in the scrum. Lots of action denial. There are other builds for Kavil that could fit, but this one is hacks through ships while being nimble. Sensor Jammer on Guri is great with Palob around.

A similar but distinct version of this list also has unique synergy.

HWK-290: · Palob Godalhi (20)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Blaster Turret (4)

· Moldy Crow (3)

STAR VIPER: · Guri (30)

· Bodyguard (2)

Autothrusters (2)

· Virago (1)

Sensor Jammer (4)

Y-WING: · Kavil (24)

Expert Handling (2)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Unhinged Astromech (1)
