Greetings from Italy!

i'm here, to ask the help of FFG forum community and i'm sorry for my poor english

anyway.... I'm a veteran and competitive player of the italian community, and i'm curious about the impact of the scum faction in your meta.

I usually play Rebel but I really like the scum faction, and I want to play it as a variant. Then apart from the Twin IG-88 What do you recommend?

I have only tried this:

Mandalorian Merc. + Rec Spec + VI + Inertial dump. + anti-pursuit lasers

Tansarii point veteran + title + Mangler + Hull up. + VI

Kavil + Blaster Turret + Agromech

( Lot of fun, and 3rd place in a friendly tournament after unboxing the expansion packs before the pairings)

Kath Scarlet + Rec Spec + Inertial dump.

Tansarii point veteran + title + Mangler + Hull up. + VI

Dace Bonearm + K4 sec. + ion turret

( Just evolve the previous list, for extra damage, for playtesting 'cose Kavil was the first target of opponent's attacks, for the 30 points. Kavil depends a lot from the focus action, and with only 3 green maneuvers on the dial, and with the overlaps of ships with lower Ps, often could not use the turret, missing the action. )

Then, I'm open to your suggestions, for competitive lists ( I totally love the M3-A )

Thank you

You could try this, I call it "4 Riders"

100 points Pilots ------

N’Dru Suhlak (21) Z-95 Headhunter (17), “Hot Shot” Blaster (3), Veteran Instincts (1) Goes alone, shoots first, can blast with 4 dice turret if angered

Palob Godalhi (28) HWK-290 (20), Calculation (1), Blaster Turret (4), Moldy Crow (3) steals focus, keeps it around, and spends it on calculation and other bling

Laetin A’shera (27) M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (18), “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor (2), Stealth Device (3), “Mangler” Cannon (4) just always take evade, and see swarm players, gunner user and cluster missile proponents cry

Syndicate Thug (24) Y-Wing (18), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Unhinged Astromech (1) looks like a brick, hits like a brick, flies like a fast brick BTL A4 optional but recomended

Each of four is dangerous in a diferent way, and loosing one does nothing to slow others.

Thank you Redblock, I will definitely try it, also trying variations .

I'd also try a list with 4 ships, with Firespray like Tank ( maybe Scarlet with HLC ) but I'm worry about the fact of having to deploy at least two Binayre Pirate, that are 24 points practically given away to the opponent.

Kath Scarlet + HLC + Predator + Inertial dump. + Rec.Spec

Syndacate Thug + uninghed astromech + ion turret ---> or one M3-A like Laetin A'Shera with Mangler or Cartel Spacer with Mangler and Hull up

Binarye Pirate x2

Like for the Fat Han, use the Z95 for annoying opponents, using Kath behind them for Heavy hit. Then the Syndacate thug sting with ion or M-3A sting with Mnagler for finish the work.

I'll stay tuned for more tips

Lawyer ou only need HLC on Kath Scarlet. 4 dices on every range in any firing arc chage a lot

So maybe:

Kath

-K4 security droid

-HLC

Scyk

-title

-Ion cannon

Scyk

-Title

-Flachette cannon

Z95

97 pts

You have 3 points for upgrades you like

Thx Thagg, Yes, probably I will use this setup, but with Mangler Cannon on all M3-A
