Been out of the game for awhile. Anything new for I guess what you would call Meta for scum and villany? Like for Star vipers , hounds tooth? Ect.

How long have you been gone? There is a mandatory update coming out in January called a new damage deck. However it should now be available now at your local FLGS with a purchase of The Force Awakens core set.

Till then, I suggest you take a look at the FAQ that just been posted.

There's an interesting change to tournament play that should effect the meta, Large ships that are at 50% health or less now award 50% of there squad points.

The revised rulebook in the new core fixes a number of old issues, such as Night Beast's ability that now works even if he had a stress token assigned before performing a green maneuver.

Check the recent News articles and new FAQ.

From notable new cards and ships:

-Emperor Palpatine, but with yesterdays nerf to large ships he is not so notable anymore.

-Twin Laser Turret had great impact on SV meta, Ywings with that are in almost all lists these days.

-Extra Munitions big buff to all warhead users

Ships

-Kwing with new action allowing it to perform 2 maneuvers per turn, fielded both as bomber with 4 bombs or light turreted ship as it can dish up to 3 attacks per turn and regenerate a shield by rolling 1 die less on one of those.

-Tie Punisher pinnacle of empire bombers, with pilots specialized in bombing or warhead delivery.

-Hounds tooth new large for SV, with heavy hitting, but not agile, has 6p title that deployes free z95 after beeing destroyed. The Z hold victory pointsas from yesterday:)

And of course really interesting wave 8 is already spoiled. As for rules change all have been written in this topic.

I have not purchased anything or played anything since the release of Scum and villany. Was wanting to know what's hot and what's not with the Scum and villany stuff. Has anyone had any success with Scyks interceptors or Star vipers? I played with a pair of IG-2000's the other day that was pretty fun but I want to explore other options in scum and villany.

Has anything formed into something competitive to use in this faction? Also I'm curious about Hounds Tooth. What works well with him?

Well the two IG-88s have been very popular in tournaments either with VI so that they are both PS 8 or with outmaneuver to hate on C-3PO. However for tournament play there is a change on large ship now making them worth half points (rounded down) to your opponent if they are taking down to half health (shields + hill). So once boba is down to 5 hull or less half of his value is given to your oponenants score.

However if you are planing on playing any competitive formats then next year you will need the new damage deck from the new Episode VII Core set. Sorry, there are no scum ships in that set it is all from the new movie The Force Awakens and they are just subfactions that can be played with rebels or imperials but it does come with an updated rule booklet in addition of the new damage deck.

I've heard of a Xizor + 5 Z'z doing well. Also try a Sessiru + 4 Khirax if you can.

Lots of new trials for the Hounds Tooth. Will have to see where the meta takes it but lots of options for fun play.

I hear they are coming out with Large ships! The Falcon and Slave 1 are gonna be so awesome!

Well, you are coming back during one of the biggest meta shifts in X-wing history. Not only did Wave 7 just come out, but the new Core set and Wave 8 are coming out before the end of the year. There is a new rulebook, FAQ, and tournament FAQ that shakes things up a bit. To be short, the meta hadn't changed too much for the last tournament season. It was dominated by Fat Turrets, Bro Bots (two IG-88's), and Stealth Soontir Fel. That's pretty much every build that did well in a very broad brush stroke. Many of the new items and new rules changes will be shaking up the meta very heavily. You won't see as many Fat Turrets around as you did.

I think it's a fantastic time to be playing X-wing.

The M3-A Scyk Interceptor has been much maligned. People don't like it as they expect it to be as cheap as an Academy or have as many hits as a Z-95. 5 of these with Manglers is too dependent on the dice. I have played with this ship and there was something in the Scum lists that it really needed. That is a relatively cheap ship that can be a good threat. The Kihraxz Fighter is just what the Scyk needs. It's very similar to an X-wing and the cheapest is 20 pts. This ship is now the bigger threat and allows your Scyks to live to the end game, where they are more potent. Someone just won a local store event with 3 Kihraxz Fighters and 2 Scyks w/ Manglers. People have been bashing the Scyk and will tell you it sucks, but I think it's time to be able to use it now. It's not a ship to take in a swarm, but it's a great ship to slip into a list with bigger fish around.

The Starviper has a mixed reputation. Some say it's terrible. Others say it's just the generics. I've had a lot of fun and success with "Prince and the New Power Generation", which is Xizor and 5 Z-95's. It would eat Fat Turrets for breakfast and do very well vs. Bro Bots, but had challenges with Phantoms and Soontir Fel. It's important to take the Flechette Torp. to cause stress. Some have used Guri, but I've never really tried. I think with the Kihraxz it might be interesting to take some 4-5 ship lists.

4 ships with Twin Laser Turrets are a thing and probably going to be one of the corner stones of the new meta. They are great at stripping tokens and wearing down ships. So, elites will have a tough time with them.

Extra Munitions makes Y-wings with ordnance a viable option, but people still tend not to play with them.

Also try a Sessiru + 4 Khirax if you can.

I've talked about this, but haven't seen anyone actually take it yet. I don't own enough Kihraxz Fighters. I'd love to hear how it does as I like the theory behind it. I want to see it put to use, though.

Hound is a heavy hitter. You Boosk+Mangler hit like a freight train but if you survive alpha not so hard to take out. Often played with topped up Boba or Ys.

In SV current meta blockbuster are Ywings. U either take 4 with TLT and Unhingeds, or 2 with TLT and agromechs + some support in form of Firespray, YV666. Kihraxzes or zed can work too i guess.

Where can I find these Twin laser turrets at? What expansion has them?

Come on, don´t make it too easy for you. These are informations you can easily find everywhere. I would suggest to browse through the threads (usually it´s one of the most fun things to do) and make your own picture of the situation. Because there are many point of views

You could have just pointed to the Wiki or one of the card browser/list builder apps. Or just answered the question. After all that's what this forum is about, helping other players with all sorts of information and knowledge. I don't think that's 'making it easy' for people who are new to the game or this forum. Not very welcoming.

Notice I didn't answer the question either. Make of that what you will.

They're in the K-Wing expansion.

Yes you are right, I could have answered the question. But then there will come more and more of this questions which aren´t questions. You can simply google search "Twin laser turret expansion" and you get plenty of hits. If someone can register and post in forum, I would at least expect that he can also use search machines. People getting lazy these days, don´t contribute to this decay.

Pfft soon robots will do all the work anyway, learning to be lazy is just being proactive about the inevitable future.
