As you all can see, it is heavily dominated by Kihraxz Fighters and I feel that they are economic ships with good proportion of hit points, attack capability and decent amount of agility and tight turn of one that gives it enough maneuverability to be effective with those guns!!

So hit me!!! :P

#3 as it is my "next to buy list" (neither own a M3 nore any Kh#+* till now)

think it looks really nice on the table, and the M3 needs some love

as said next "big thing" around no later than christmas will be exactly that list =)

I'd go with 5x marauder.

5k

I think squads 2 and 3 are the strongest for a tournament, and I'd want to fly those for sure. Squad 4 seems very cool and reminds me of one I played a few weeks ago, with great success:

Talonbane (Lightning Reflexes, Glitterstim)

Graz the Hunter

Black Sun Ace (Crackshot)

Cartel Marauder

100 points

So, one of each. I really like the Kihraxz Fighter; it's by far my favorite Scum & Villainy ship. It pairs well with the StarViper too, another great S&V ship.

Best of luck at the tournament!

I appreciate the feedback that I got from you guys!

Those squads #2 and #3 were my favorites of those. I will try few test games with both of them, but for now I lean towards that squad with 5x Kihraxz Fighters, it has good value for points spent and it is surely scary squad to play against, with such a great firing power! It is also simple squad and nothing stands out more than other when they are identical, that is good advantage when your opponent can't pick up the most dangerous ship out.

This could even stand against TLT Y-Wings, that I am most afraid of all squads.

Any tips for tactics for this ''Five K'' squad? :ph34r:

Just wanna ask last moment opinion about this squad, what do you think of this compared to the 5x Cartel Marauder(Kihraxz) squad?

Talonbane Cobra (28)

Kihraxz Fighter

-Predator(3)

-Engine Upgrade(4)

Hired Gun (20)

Y-Wing

-Twin Laser Turret(6)

Hired Gun (20)

Y-Wing

-Twin Laser Turret(6)

Black Sun Soldier (13)

Z-95 Headunter

I could always squeeze few points out for other stuff by changing those Hired Guns to Syndicate Thugs and Black Sun Soldier for Binayre Pirate.

Or maybe this..

Latts Razzi (33)

YV-666

-Bossk(2)

-Gunner(5)

Cartel Marauder (20) x3

Kihraxz Fighter

Or you could suggest better competitive Scum squad for tournament?

Go with 5k I'm dying to try that list and want to know how it works.

So tournament is over and I came out with few new upgrade cards with new art on them. I got 5th place out of 16 players with Five K squadron. I was pretty happy with it and I one three out of four games. I had 15 points and 4th and 5th place had just bit over 20p difference in MoV and that left me out from the semi-final rounds.

That list was easy to fly and was good for setting ships in my fire arc and very savage list against any low agility ships, like Y-Wings etc.. IG88 were the most difficult list to win and had two games against different lists and lost the first of the two.

This being my first tournament I would say it went well for me and I would try it again for sure! ;)

Over and out! :ph34r:
