Scum Boba and Escort

By AlexiLux, in X-Wing Squad Lists

With wave seven finally released to the masses here in Sweden, and with me realizing that I just really like Scum Boba, I wanted your thoughts on this list(got a small tourney coming up).

Boba Fett (Scum) (39)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Recon Specialist (3)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Black Sun Ace (23)
Predator (3)

Is the predator aces worth it or should I downgrade them to Cartel Mauraders and just add a Z?

Probably downgrading and adding Z is better.

Alternatively, you could keep the black sun aces but go with crack shot on both and change recon specialist into tactician. This gives you 5 points which is enough for a proton bomb on Boba.

Ran this recently with decent success. It was fun. Not sure in highsight if I'd trade the Banana pirates up to Black Sun Soldiers -- it would have been handy against some Tempest Squadrons but would have degraded their blocking ability.

Pirate Gunner

100 points
Boba Fett (52)
Firespray-31 (39), Veteran Instincts (1), Gunner (5), Inertial Dampeners (1), Engine Upgrade (4), Seismic Charges (2)
Binayre Pirate (12) x 4

For Boba, I would drop Inertial dampeners and Recon spec for Glitterstim and Tactician. I also concur that a downgrade for a +Z is more optimal.

I've decided to change the list to this:

Boba Fett 39p

-VI

-Recon Specialist

-Engine Upgrade

Cartel Maurader 20p

Cartel Maurader 20p

Z-95 Headhunter 12p

99p

I usually play tactician on Boba and glitterstim is an option. What do you guys think is best?

Tac + glitterstim or Recon + inertial damps are both good options, but I would lean towards Tactician and glitterstim being overall more useful. YMMV.
