[SCUM] Scum Aces

By AmPm, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking at something like this (yea, I know TBC is probably not optimal in a meta with secondary weapons)

============== Black Sun Aces ==============

100 points

Pilots ------

Guri [Outmaneuver, Virago, Autothrusters, Advanced Sensors, Inertial Dampeners] (40)

Talonbane Cobra [Predator, Glitterstim] (33)

Graz the Hunter [Glitterstim] (27)

Dropping Inertial Dampeners for a 99pt bid might be worthwhile, the basic idea is to get in close and murder things.

The other option I'm looking at is dropping Guri for,

Trandoshan Slaver [bossk, Gunner, Tactician, Ion Projector] (40)

This is stronger control, and gives more HP but reduces maneuvering a lot. Basically ram him into the front of another large ship and sit there, or block up a swarms movement.

Thoughts? Criticism? Concerns?

My go-to Guri list is Guri on Khiraxz

Guri w/ predator, virago, sensor jammer & autothrusters = 40

3 cartel marauders = 20 x 3

The marauders are not the greatest ship ever, but it doesn't matter. I just need to get a good approach where all 3 can shoot, then trade them for enemy ships in a slug-it-out jousting match. Guri hangs out on the flanks getting whatever shots of opportunity she can (while avoiding getting focussed or blocked). When the dust settles I am pretty confident Guri can win the endgame against pretty much anything except Soontir (so I make sure to kill him first in a list featuring him).

Unfortunately, I'm having lots of fun with Imperial lists atm, so I haven't flown it as much as I'd like. However, I am quite happy with it, even in the new TLT meta. The two Khiraxz aces are easier to kill for the same cost and ultimately cannot dish out as much damage before dying, so despite the PS2, I like the 3 generics better.
