Hey wing commanders,

I've tweaked my primary Scum list a bit and wanted your opinion on it. Let me first state that I am a CASUAL player. No plan for tournament play anytime soon. So, on to the list!

Scum 1 - 98 pts

Boba Fett (39) 47

Calculation (1)

Mangler (4)

Recon spec (3)

Kavil (24) 31

R4 Agromech (2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Blaster Turret (4)

Syndicate thug (18) 20

Unhinged astromech (1)

Autoblaster cannon (2)

I've played a similar list but Kavil was out fitted identically to the thug and had swarm tactics. Basically the thug and aka I'll would both shoot at PS 7. It worked alright as long as I remembered to use it.

I realize I'm coin against the grain here and not running warthog ion cannon turret Y-wings.

Which Kavil variant do you guys like better?

I will take that as meaning it's probably fine either way.

one of my fav scum squads,( I also don't play Tounament very often, however, with a bunch of friends from MLGS we have a small league going but nothing more than king of the roost "Title" for the week and who gets free beer for winning league night. )

Kath + PTL + recons + eng

Kavil + title + ABT + Unastro + VI + eng

N'Dru + LW

99 pts

this is ' The ' Kavil my friend !! ...and a pint to yer Health!

Most people don't favour Manglers on Firesprays because you're not getting much of an upgrade for those points. You're really only getting the benefit of ignoring Range 3 defensive bonuses, and you'll likely want 4 primary attack over the Mangler at R1.

This is especially the case for Scum Boba, since you actually prefer him to be at R1 of an enemy for the rerolls.

I highly suggest giving Boba an Engine Upgrade instead of the Mangler. If you haven't tried EU on large ships, they're a blast and will make you feel like you're flying a race car (ship?). More importantly, it will (1) help you achieve that R1, (2) dodge firing arcs, and (3) make Boba very hard to dodge.

I often give Boba Veteran Instincts and EU and let his Pilot Ability take care of the rest (it's that good!). Tactician is great on him too. Recon Spec is great if you elect to skip EU, otherwise it has too much action overlap. When I take EU, I find myself boosting >50% of the time.

With all that said, if you prefer a long-ranged, sniping Firespray, Kath with HLC is your gal. Give her that RecSpec and let her go to town.

Shedding some of the points on Boba will let you upgrade that autoblaster turret which I personally find hard to use due to its limited range.

I've only flown against Kavil, but your setup is the one I see most often (without VI)

Can someone explain to me how Boba can be used in both the Imperial and S&V lists? I mean I get it, the background reasons why and am really glad he can be used in a S&V list (where I think he belongs more anyway). But exactly how did they include him? Was it a simple errata? Are there conditions/limitations of using him in an S&V list?

If you buy the Imperial Firespray-31 expansion pack, you bought Imperial Boba. Even if you only want scum Boba, don't worry, because you'll still need this, as there is no other way to get the model.

If you buy the Most Wanted expansion pack, you get Pilot cards and bases for scum Boba, but there is no model included. You still need to use the Firespray 31 model you got from the Imperial expansion pack.

Though, the two Boba Fetts have two different abilities. Kath Scarlet is the same way.
