I'm considering option to use my five M3a's. I'd like to run purely M3as as i prefer single ship lists but could be persuaded to add a 'support HWK'.

At the mo i'm thinking of a 'reverse howlrunner' type list of:

Serissu + swarm tactics

Tansari Veteran +ST

Tansari Vet +ST

Tansari Vet + ST

Cartel Spacer + Mangle Cannon

But other good ideas will be considered.

to use all 5 id say cartel space with hvy scyk and manglers.

if you can bear just using 4 I enjoyed 4 of the tansarii point vetrans with Vet Instincts and mangler cannons with 4 pts to play around with.

4 ps 7 ships with manglers tend to ruin most folks day pretty quick.

yeah i could happily leave serissu at home.

The main thing is flying 'thematic' lists for me, i like to fly 'flights' of the same craft (i know that *thematically* scum would be incredibly random) but i also find that flying a lot of the same ship means

1. i forget upgrades and actions less

2. if i lose one my plan doesnt go out the window because it relied on 'captain bob having the super duper missiles and the auto win droid'

So yeah 4 vets with cannons sounds like fun!

Another thought could be blank Serissu with four Cartel Spacers all decked out with Mangler Cannons.

I've run that squad once and it worked well. Too many things to experiment with in scum to stick to a mono-list build for any length of time.

I've also done Serissu, 4 cartel spacers, and 2 Binayre pirates for a swarm. Took down fat Han and a couple Xs. Having PS 1 to block, and then a whole swarm to focus on actionless ships worked pretty dang well.

I know! Last week had me helping some new guys that bought the starter set and running a Trench Run instead of playing with all the new stuff. Man, I have 101 lists and not the time.

I've heard of a person or two doing the 5 Cartels w/ Manglers and doing well. I think someone took 2nd at a smallish event (dozen people?). I really want to try this, but haven't done it yet. It does rely on green dice, though.

Gadge, great paint jobs! I'm anxious to see how this list performs as I am quickly falling in love with Scyks.

I've run both the five Cartel Spacers with Mangler Cannons and four with Serissu. I found that (alot like Howlrunner in TIE swarms) I felt too 'constrained' by Serissu and once you break formation her pilot ability is often useless and you're losing a little fire power too as she is running naked.

This is so true it's unreal! I have managed to 'shoe-horn' a Scyk into a 'Andrasta' list I'm working on though, so that sort of counts as sticking to a list!

That was supposed to read "mono-ship lists" but I'm glad you guys knew what I meant anyway!

Lately I've been struggling to fit Scyks in my lists. 2 with manglers or a mando-merc with a couple goodies? I've been merc'n
