First tournement playing Scum

By bluemoose582, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This will be my first tournement I've ever taking part in and ive decided to play with a Scum setip. I've played amonst friends and I like the way scum works so hence sticking with it. But im stuck between to lists:

Z-95 - Binayre Pilot

Z-95 - Binayre Pilot + Hull Upgrade + "Hot Shot"

Ywing - Drea Renthal + Auto Blaster + Unhinged Astromech + BTL-A4 Title

Firespray - Kath Scarlet +Ion Cannon + Seismec Charge + Outlaw Tech

Or

Ywing - Drea Renthal + Auto blaster + Unhinged Astromech + BTL-A4 Title

Ywing - Hired Gun + Auto blaster + Unhinged Astromech + BTL-A4 Title

Firespray - Kath Scarlet + Ion Cannon + Seismec Charge + Outlaw Tech + Cluster Missle + "Hotshot"

Which one do people think will be the most effective or even open to slight tweeking.

Not sure it will help but I have the following sets:

Core

Xwing

Ywing

Tie Advance

Falcon

Slave1

Imp Aces

Most Wanted

Tweaking your second list, not sure what ships/expansions you own though.

Autoblaster is really hard on Y-Wings, especially with the title, I would recommend dropping both to thugs and running both with with Ion Cannon Turrets, BTL, and Unhinged. Kath wants enemies behind her, not in front, so the Ion is counter intuitive here. I would run Kath with Push The Limit, K4 Security Droid, Engine Upgrade, and an Ion Pulse Missile for a little more control.

So the list looks like:

Syndicate Thug: Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 Title

Syndicate Thug: Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 Title

Kath Scarlet: Push The Limit, Ion Pulse Missile, K4 Security Droid, Engine Upgrade

99/100

Cheers thabks for the advice.

Ive just updated my post wt what sets I have. I dont think I own the pulse missle or K4 Droid

If you have the points, I'd strongly recommend inertial dampeners on the firespray. The option to stay stationary for a turn is amazing.

K4 comes in the Most Wanted pack so you should already have that. Ion Pulse Missiles comes in both the Z95 and Defender expansions.

Yeah you should have the K4 if you have the BTL card...hmmm with no IPM I guess I would spend those 3 points on a seismic charge and Inertial Dampeners for Kath.

Or Predator. Yummm!!!

If I was running Gunner Kath I would agree with you, but she's already got PTL, K4, and Engine, killer action economy

Interesting lists. I also have a tournament soon and I'm torn between S&V and Imperials. Here are a few ideas (taking into account the upgrades you have only):

Kath (Marksmanship, Gunner)

Hired Gun (Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech, Engine Upgrade) x2

100 points

Kath (Push the Limit, K4 Security Droid, Engine Upgrade)

Syndicate Thug (Autoblaster Turrret, Unhinged Astromech, Engine Upgrade)

Hired Gun (Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 title)

99 points

Kath (Push the Limit, K4 Security Droid, Engine Upgrade)

Hired Gun (Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 title)

Black Sun Soldier x2

100 points

Kath (Expert Handling, Outlaw Tech)

Kavil (Veteran Instincts, Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech, Engine Upgrade)

Hired Gun (Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 title)

100 points

Are you set on Kath? Emon is really nice too (but more bombs, especially a few Proximity Mines, help maximize his ability of course). And the S&V version of Boba is quite strong:

Boba (Veteran Instincts, Gunner, Engine Upgrade, Seismic Charges)

Hired Gun (Autoblaster Turret, Unhinged Astromech)

Hired Gun (Ion Cannon Turret, Unhinged Astromech, BTL-A4 title)

100 points

I prefer higher PS ships (PS3+, ie Hired Gun over Syndicate Thug) because Predator is very popular in my area. I highly recommend getting at least 1 Defender to have your own copy... or wait for the upcoming Kihraxz Fighter expansion, which will include 1 copy of Predator.
