Looking for input on scum list

By RoboTheSonyKid, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Somewhat new player here. Only about a year under my belt. This list just won me a 2 round mini tournament against some buddies.

HWK-290:

Palob Godalhi (36)

Outmaneuver (3), Blaster Turret (4), Recon Specialist (3), Moldy Crow (3), Stealth Device (3)

Y-wing:

Kavil (35)

Veteran Instincts (1), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Unhinged Astromech (1), BTL-A4 Y-wing (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

YV-666:

Trandoshan Slaver (29)

It now has a 2-0 record. Haven't lost a ship yet, managed to outperform a fat Han list and a dual aggressor. The y wing lost his ion turret halfway through the first game, but still managed the last two kills. In the second game I was able to box in my buddies last aggressor and keep it in place with red 0's from the houndstooth and go to town on it with the hwk and y wing.

Looking for any and all input on this list as it's slowly becoming my favorite and am looking for any other small improvements to it.

Considering maybe throwing opportunist on the HWK if I move some points around. Not sure yet

Outmanoeuvre doesn't make a lot of sense on palob since you have to keep targets in your firing arc to gain the benefit of it, but with a turret (not to mention no k-turn) you will be hard pressed to use it very often (if at all, considering you also have to be out of the target's firing arc).

BTL-A4 is a terrible idea for Kavil. His ability ONLY works when he fires outside of his own firing arc, but the title forces him to only be able to fire IN his firing arc. Therefore they have zero synergy. Either take a different pilot, or drop the title. The trandoshan slaver would be happier with some crew. Bossk + Gunner work nicely together, or for a cheaper alternative, outlaw tech + K4 droid (or even just tactician if you have it and want to save points).

Good points. I've decided to trade outmaneuver for predator and took of the y wings title. I love the set up for my hwk and y wing, which unfortunately doesn't leave much room for anything on the slaver so it's kinda of become just a rock the opponents try to shoot thru

I think I might change Kavil to drea, took off VI and threw bossk on the slaver

Kavil with TLT + wired is a nice cheap way to run him. If you have 2 pts spare then obviously add R4 aggro. Another alternative to wired, say if you want to hate on fragile arc dodgers like squints is to add crackshot to R4. You'll break their stealth in the first pass usually.

Speaking of stealth I'm not sure what to think about it on that hwk. I usually only take Stealth when the ship can access autothrusters and/or palpatine and has 3 greens to start. In this case the crow makes it more viable but usually your still just purchasing 5/8 of a hull upgrade for 3 pts. Meh if it works for you cool.

The slaver build blade suggested sounds perfect here and its a **** fine deal for 36 pts.

How does this look? Thoughts?

Scumery 2.0 (100)

Palob Godalhi (37) - HWK-290

Opportunist (4), Blaster Turret (4), Recon Specialist (3), Moldy Crow (3), Stealth Device (3)

Kavil (35) - Y-Wing

Veteran Instincts (1), Ion Cannon Turret (5), Unhinged Astromech (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Talonbane Cobra (28) - Kihraxz

I played two Y-wings TLT and unhinged Astromech plus the Houndstooth HLC K4-security droid and Outlaw Tech. 99pts and was a great combination.
