Looking to try a new approach to Scum that can withstand TLT nonsense and lay down some pain. Thoughts?

Bossk (49)
YV-666 (35), “Mangler” Cannon (4), Hound's Tooth (6), Engine Upgrade (4)

Emon Azzameen (51)
Firespray-31 (36), Conner Net (4), Glitterstim (2), Andrasta (0), Stealth Device (3), Proximity Mines (3), Proximity Mines (3)

100 Points

I don't see how hounds tooth is going to help too much here, if I was fighting you I would focus fire Emon down first. The pup is useful if you still have another ship or two on the board, otherwise the best it will accomplish in most circumstances is a bit of damage limitation. Otherwise it's a rather expensive defensive upgrade, as it will make opponents want to leave the pup til last (it's only worth 1 point for a victory scenario).

Not sure who you want to die first here either, what's your plan? I don't use the firespray much myself and have only ever fought Bobba, so can't comment too much on the build, but 3 bombs at 10 points seems like quite a lot. Do you think Emon presents enough danger to make opponents want to focus him down first?

If you want to run the firespray as a proximity mine bomber, andraste is no longer the best way to go unfortunately.

In this scenario i think i would go with

Eamon

Slave 1 title

Extra munitions

Cluster mines

You lose the conner net, but it gives you 6 tokens for 6 points as opposed to a connor net + 2 proximity tokens for 10 points.

I think i would then skip the glitterstim and stealth device, but thats just my tastes.

If the whole point of your list is to screw over tlt spam, you cant go wrong with a par of Iggys with autothrusters.

Its a shame, as i also like these ships, but tlt love big ships with low agility and that YV666 is looking at 8 hits a turn if it gets focused.

Have you considered running with Eval instead with a HLC? Although Eval's pilot ability is useless after the Pup deploys, the 180 degree HLC arc is amazing. With that type of firepower and spread, it may keep some heat off Emon. You would have to change your list name though . . . Emal? Emval?
