Need some scum motivation

List some of your best scum builds

Looking for some scum motivation

Preferably using the kihraxz fighter, I don't think I've used it once

I have a ton of Rebel and imperial builds but looking for something decent for scum

Maybe even a starviper

This has done well for me in casual play:

...if you want to use a Khiraxz then you can take Kavil out and add Talonbane Cobra with Glitterstim and Crackshot for the same 31 point cost, although the list is designed to all be at PS7 so I can activate them in whatever order I choose for maximum efficiency and effect.

Ya that's an option

N'dru never seemed to work well for me. Though it's a decent option

Guess I should have mentioned nothing with tlt

My friends are kind of sick of turrets so I'm trying to come up with something different, but fun to fly and fly against

So no stress builds or tlt for me I'm afraid

I was thinking of running tie swarm but I haven't flown scum in ages

K-fighter I've been disappointed with. Had high hopes for it.

IGs are fun but probably a bit old.

I really like the Scum HWK pilots. Give them some support and should be able to have a fun list.

Kfighter is a swell generic whether naked or crackshot stims on an ace

For me, Scum's whole shebang is dice mods. No one else gets r4, stims, k4; bossk etc. And they're at their best when dice aren't getting you down

Xizor is great as he is both offensive with rerolls ala predator/FCS and defensive with thrusters + ability

So,

Xizor (predator or v.I + virago + FCS; thrusters)

Thug (TLT or ICT + BTL-a4, r4)

Slaver (gunner + bossk)

Maruader (Nada)

Blacksun ace (crackshot + stims)

Are my scummy building blocks

MUX and Palob both have ridiculous abilities worth taking advantage of

For lists,

Xizor (v.I variant) + TLT thug + slaver makes for a powerful punch

Xizor (v.I variant) + two ICT btl-a4s + pirate is a scary jousting list

Xizor (predator + thrusters) + 2 crackstim aces + pirate is another option.

Had a lot of fun using Mux (TLT + recon) with predator xizor or guri and 3 pirates

Lastly, took 2nd place at a local tournie with this silliness:

Guri (jammers + virago, predator and thrusters)

Palob (tlt + recon)

Thug (tlt + r4 + bomb + seismic + extra)

Lots of 200-0 games with the turrets limping at one hull but no partial credit due to small bases. VERY unforgiving, though :P

Wave 8 opens up dorsal turrets for cheap Palob (26 w/title) and fully modified torp boat jump masters

Have had a lot of fun and success with:

Scum Boba

EU

VI

Cluster Missiles

Tactician

Glitterstim

Either double-stress an Ace at range 2, or just flat out blow something up with Glitterstim and re-rolls.

A fun one for casual play was Latts with bossk, tactician, gunner feedback array. Talonbane with glittercrack. And N'dru with glitter lone wolf and cluster. Either the opponent goes boom or you do but either way it's a fun time.

If you're looking for Khiraxz + Viper, Fickle's list above is a good one.

As a variation, you can run 3 cartel marauders alongside Guri. I wouldn't call it top tier, but its not bad at all:

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

3 cartel marauders = 20 x 3
