Best Scum Bomber List

By kalstrai, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I just started playing a couple months ago coming from playing Mechwarrior clicks for years and years. So far my favorite moments are when I pull off a great bomb drop. Still getting the hand of the game but really liking the Scum Firespray and the andrasta title for it's bombing potential. Here's the bombing list I'm playing around with, thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone have a favorite bombing list?

Kath

Push the Limit

Heavy laser Cannon

K4 Security Droid

Engine Upgrade

Andrasta title

Proximity Bombs X3

Black Sun Soldier X2

Stealth Device

Dead man's switch

most of the points are in Kath, but this load out makes her a beast and (I realize) a huge target. Still, she's rolling a minimum of 4 dice at any range out of each arc, and potentially getting some hits with her mines. I had debated dropping the HLC, as optimally she's fighting mostly out of her rear arc, but with the HLC it makes her front arc nearly as dangerous. Engine upgrade to line up shots and Push the limit in case I need to drop a mine and boost the same turn. K4 does it's work.

the 2 Z's are there for jamming up and a few more attack dice. Kavil or Dace might be a better choice support but I like two extra ships.

Keeping Kath from being focused down may be a problem, depending on the opposing list. HLC dropped for Proton bombs might be a better idea as well...

Anyway, thoughts? haven't flown it yet.

John!
