Some help tweaking my Scum list please!

By Lanthal, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This is the Scum list that I've been running at tourneys for a little while. It's done pretty well - 1st in my local store monthly tourney, 2nd at a slightly larger venue and most recently 5th because I was paired against two Dash builds in a row one of which I managed a 2pt modified win against but it was enough to kick me from the top 4 cut...

Anyway, I like it but I'm thinking it can be tweaked:

This is it currently: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/310218/kavil-and-torkhil-go-to-town

If you don't want to click the link:

Torkil Mux w/ Blaster Turret + Recon + Crow (29)
Kavil w/ Unhinged + TLT (31)
Hired Gun w/ Unhinged + TLT (27)
Black Sun Soldier (13)
100pts

I'm thinking about changing to this:

Torkil Mux w/ Blaster Turret + Recon + Crow (29)

Drea Renthal w/ Unhinged + TLT (29)
Hired Gun w/ Unhinged + TLT (27)
Ka'ato Leechos (15)

My thinking is that while Kavil's ability is good for the 4 dice TLT, more often than not the second shot is completely naked with no reroll options. Drea's ability with the Target Locks allows for rerolls on both shots and her unhinged companion makes it pretty easy to clear stress.

The 2 points that frees up allows me to upgrade the soldier to Ka'ato Leechos meaning that if I keep him in 1-2 of Torkhil, he can borrow a focus and TL for his own action making his shots nice and effective.

I really REALLY like Mux. He's a brilliant pilot to allow you to burn a Poe or a Vader or even a Miranda if you hit hard and fast enough. So whatever I take I'd like to keep him in the list.

Any thoughts and feedback would be really appreciated.

Cheers guys.

I'd drop both unhingeds and stick the R4 Agromech on Kavil instead. Use focus for first attack then get TL for second. How often do these 2 get stressed anyway?

IMO kavil is better for the TLT. I'd consider downgrading the BSS and hired gun to fit in predator instead. I literally just finished a friendly game against kavil with that build and hes an animal, basically rolling 10 dice a turn. Its stupid good at punching through defenses.

I considered that option but I really like having the PS3/4 pilots to avoid the pred double re-roll

I'm not a huge fan of tlt on Kavil. I feel like it is a waste of his ability because in the end whether you roll the 3 red or 4 you max out at two damage if both shots hit. I like pairing him with the blaster turret and r4/agromech so you have a modifier for your shot. Your mileage may vary though
