Boba & The Fett Hogs

By veritek83, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Alright, so I haven't run Scum at all yet, but was playing around and came up with this-

Syndicate Thug, Ion Cannon Turret, BTL-A4, R4 Agromech- 25 pts

Syndicate Thug, Ion Cannon Turret, BTL-A4, R4 Agromech- 25 pts

Boba Fett, VI, Outlaw Tech, Ion Pulse Missiles, Inertial Dampeners, Engine Upgrade- 50 pts.

100 pts.

I'm not super optimistic that this is going to be really competitive, but would like some feedback on how to kit out Fett. I'm not really sold on anything other than the Engine Upgrade. I think the Pulse Missiles synergize decently with the Warthogs, but don't particularly like taking the ordinance.

Any feedback would be welcome.

I usually run Scum Fett with recon specialist. I am going to try tactician next. VI is good against phantoms (also why I want to try tactician). Lone wolf, recon specialist, and engine upgrade are amazeballs as long as you can keep away from your other ships (might be hard with range 2 turrets). Personally, I would rather have a seismic charge instead of the ion missiles. You already have two ion turrets, so it not really needed

I actually like the IPMs on Boba because they can set up the thugging from the Y's against higher PS ships. The one thing I am confused on is Outlaw Tech in this build. It only triggers on a red maneuver right? So this does not work with Inertial Dampeners? I know you can K-Turn, but I feel that Recon Specialist would be better.

I would suggest dropping ID and Outlaw Tech for Recon Specialist. Also, you might want to add the Slave-1 Title for flavor. :)

If you had something like Stay on Target, I wouldn't mind seeing outlaw tech on there, but you only have the one red maneuver (Hey and maybe that's how you fly your firespray, I don't know, but with engine you can zip around and dodge arcs and shouldn't have to K-turn unless it's a very specific situation, and in which case the 2 points on outlaw tech may not be worth it if you could be getting double focus every other turn.)

The problem I guess I have with Recon Specialist is having engine upgrade. Your boost would have to be WELL worth it over the double focus...and at PS 10 that is entirely possible.

Alternate load out could be:

Boba Fett + Deadeye + Recon Specialist + Ion Pulse Missiles + Slave-1 Title + flechette Torpedoes + Seismic Charge - 50

Boba + EU + Gunner. Those rerolls mustn't be used on hits. If you get a measly one, reroll for a miss and start again with the Gunners help.
