Scum Rebels Redux

By stownfox, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I wanted to put a scum spin on Paul Heaver's championship 2015 Worlds list. I tried to imitate all of his elements using the Scum faction. I am interested in using this list throughout the upcoming store championship season.

Then, I used the arch type to construct a slightly different list that offers different strengths and weaknesses. This list is less balanced but offers a better hard hitting early game.

12 - Z-95

24 - Y-wing w/ TLT

28 - Mux w/ TLT & Hull

36 - Trandosian Slaver w/ Tactician and Gunner

Pros: Balanced, stress mechanic, anti-ace, reliable damage

Cons: MOV - half points for slaver, no ace of my own, limited mobility

Or

28 - Mux w/ TLT & Hull

36 - Trandosian Slaver w/ Tactician and Gunner

36 - Trandosian Slaver w/ Tactician and Gunner

Pros: 2x stress mechanic, anti-ace, reliable damage - gunner

Cons: half points for slavers, no ace of my own, 3 ships, mobility

What are your thoughts?

Which is the most competitive?

What changes if any would you make?

Thanks!

Not having flown this or anything like it, I'd suggest just a couple changes. First, since Mux's ability is range 1-2 anyway, change his TLT to Ion Cannon Turret. That will also pair nicely with the Tactician's stress to really lock down anyone not using an R2 Astromech, Nien Numb, or soon Kanan Jarrus (Crew). With the point you save, add Inertial Dampeners to the Slaver. While you won't be able to use it reactively very well, two 0 stop turns in a row could catch someone off-guard and help leverage its arcs + Tactician + Gunner.

Needs more bossk on the slaver

Obiwonka: agreed, an ion cannon pairs well with mux's ability. I worry that because he will fire first (highest PS) Mux will have a harder time hitting and strip fewer tokens than if he was armed with a TLT. Thoughts? Also I may drop the hull on Mux for initial dampeners and Bossk crew for the very reasons you bring up.

Ralgon: More bossk!!!
