Coming over to Scum from Empire

By Shirako, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey all, I've been having a great time running straight interceptors or a phantom and interceptors with my Empire, and I decided it was time to grab up a new army so I bought up IG-88 and the Scum starter. This is the list I came up with.

(100/100)

IG-88B

-Unhinged Astromech

-Mangler Cannon

Z-95 Headhunter

-Hot Shot Blaster

Z-95 Headhunter

-Hot Shot Blaster

Kevil

-Unhinged Astromech

-Autoblaster Turret

I've been "jousting" with my Headhunters, forward 4 turns 1 and 2 to blow past any skirmishers and use their HSBs so the points don't go to waste. Kevil flies wingman for IG-88B but can peel off to chase down medium-light starfighters.

Thoughts?

You can't get astro mechs on Agressors. Z's with hot shot blasters are ok, but a single 3 dice attack is pretty weak. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

If that doesn't work try this.

IG-88B — Aggressor 36

"Mangler" Cannon 4

Kath Scarlet (Scum) — Firespray-31 38

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Black Sun Soldier — Z-95 Headhunter 13

Dead Man's Switch 2

Let me know what you think

You can't get astro mechs on Agressors. Z's with hot shot blasters are ok, but a single 3 dice attack is pretty weak. Otherwise it looks pretty good.

After a closer look at the Aggressor card I noticed this and apologized to my brother, green maneuver S-turns did seem a little silly. Dropping the astromech I think veteran instincts is the most efficient 1 point upgrade to give IG-88, putting him at PS8

PS 8 is a loser. It is too low to shoot first practically ever and needlessly high against builds that are full of generics. Determination is great on Agressors. Especially if you are running two of them.

...unless you go against other IG-88's....which is sure to happen.
