I have never been a scum player. I like the ships, but not enough to get another whole fleet. However, the appearance of our lord and savior, the Mist Hunter, has converted me. I want to be able to fly it, mostly non-competitively, for minimum cost (Money wise, not point wise). I'm thinking Firespray, M3'A(s?) or maybe the Punishing One, once we see what it's like. I'm interested in all of your advice. Thanks!

Welcome to Scummies! For one?

Right this way!

Today the special is our world famous Gand Slam! It's a well done Zuckuss served at PS 7, with a side of 4-Lom. It comes with a full stack Electronic Baffle, covered in Dead Mans Switch gravy with a tall frosty glass of PTL to wash it all down!

You can have that for 35 points or you can get the Deluxe Gand Slam, which adds the Mist Hunter title and free T-Beam dessert. And hon, that's a steal for only one point more.

Do you already have a Firespray, HWK-290, Y-Wing, or Z-95? Most Wanted would get you three Scum ships + a bunch of upgrades + pilot conversions for those ships you already own.

If you already have rebels, this is a bargain:

4-LOM (27)

Crack Shot (1)

Zuckuss (1)

Fire-Control System (2)

Inertial Dampeners (1)

Tractor Beam (1)

Whole thing is rebels, A Most Wanted pack, and an IG-88 (which if you want to go scum, is a heck of a good pick for ship #2, even without flying them as a pair)

You can probably juggle around the EPT if you haven't got crack shot either (Juke is fun; so is VI) - but the basic sure hurts: two high accuracy TLTs, and a pair of ships you don't want aces to get too close to.

Do the math.

If you're getting into Scum,I _have_ to recommend a StarViper. They're fun to fly, but not quite competitive. They also pair nicely with the Cloaking Device that comes with the Mist Hunter.

Bonus? The StarViper expansion comes with Bodyguard, Calculation, Accuracy Corrector, _and_ Inertial Dampeners. What else could you want?

I also cannot stress enough that Most Wanted is a great expansion that is well worth the MSRP. It comes with 2 Z-95s and a Y-Wing, as well as the cards to run a 2nd Scum Y-Wing, a Scum HWK-290, a Scum Firespray, and Greedo.

So check this out:

Zuckuss (28)

Tractor Beam (1)

Mist Hunter (0)

Guri (30)

Predator (3)

Sensor Jammer (4)

Cloaking Device (2)

Autothrusters (2)

You've got 5 points left to season to taste.

I gotta say Most Wanted is a great way to start, but if you wanted to use the Punishing One, Mist Hunter and either a StarViper or nearly any other ship for the faction you can easily fill 100 point lists fast. I gotta say that the Hound's Tooth is extremely solid as well! There's innumerable ways for you to start with this faction, but Most Wanted is the most economical especially if you have ships to adapt.

Irritatingly Dead Man's Switch only comes with the Aggressor.

Irritatingly Dead Man's Switch only comes with the Aggressor.

it really has a funny set of illicits, most of which he doesn't want to use himself in any way xD

But IG is a great expansion, you want to get a couple, or a quartet of them...

and a Most Wanted

and Starviper

and a couple Kihraxzes, because they are among the most beautiful AND untility-looking ships in the game. they DO look like space craft!

Ran this at my last event....was in first place till round four...Scum is always fun...Plus the look on peoples faces when duel vipers come into to play...Priceless...Again Most Wanted is a must....Can wait for my Mist hunter and Jump Master 5000 to get here....4-lom on another large ship is going to be amazing

Also came in 3rd...place at said event

The Razzi-berry Gand Slam!

I find myself kind of puzzled here... why build the Mist Hunter as a suicide bomber?

I find myself kind of puzzled here... why build the Mist Hunter as a suicide bomber?

cause it looks like Fat Man

also, its a character B; build light cause itll die

like 4-lom, fcs, zuckuss (title) done

I find myself kind of puzzled here... why build the Mist Hunter as a suicide bomber?

Because it's awesome.

It's going to die anyways. Who in their right mind is going to let you troll around with 4 attack dice, cancelling their tokens, and suffering no ill effects yourself? The damage from the Waffle? Pah! This is why you're putting PTL and DMS on it, so you can choose when to go boom! No one is going to let you play with T-Beams, or Zuckuss or 4-Lom for very long, it's just a fact. You may as well paint bullseyes on em now, before you even get them. So I figure, WTF? I'll blow my own ships up!

One HP left? Not gonna last the combat phase? BR into R1 take a pointless focus, feed the stress through the Waffle and pow! Where is a B-Wing normally? R1 slicing it up. Why should the Scum-B be any different? You can take the title or leave it off, I want it on there for the BR myself, but the T-Beam I'm sure can be fun.

It's not supposed to be a game winning tactic, but I really look forward to using this. I don't know about the build I posted, Razzi or whatever, but tht 35-36 point Zuckuss? That's dope. You can't deny it.

I suppose the Gand Slam doesn't "need" PTL. But look at this thing, the damage potential is through the roof. You can argue whatever you want but Zuckuss and 4-Lom + Waffles is dope. Dope I say!

edit: Also, what else is really cool about the MH is it looks pretty tight with just what you get in the expac.

....

Here I thought the only reason people ever got the Star Viper is because it comes free with the Autothrusters Upgrade that sound like they are so essential to play any number of ships. The model may be one of the last things some people will use out of that expansion.

Nope, starviper looks cool.

that's the reason.

Pity it's too expensive for what it does and doesn't have pilot to utilize his wonderful set of upgrades and actions.

Came up with this list earlier today

No idea if it's a good idea but sure looks like it can pack a punch

Talabane cobra

Crackshot

Stealth device

Zuckass

Opportunist

Fire control system

Palob

Opportunist

Blaster Cannon

Recon specialist

Moldy crow title

The idea is try use the Stealth device to help cobra get into range 1 fast.

After that don't care if it lose it or not

Then there is palob with his ability to steal tokens to get the Opportunist shot off with Blaster turret.

Then Zuckass who can get an extra two dice for a total of 5 though defender gets an extra 1, but if he gets into range 1 that's 6 dice.

Cloaking Device + Stygium + Juke = Awesome McCoolshenanigans.

Cloaking Device + Stygium + Juke = Awesome McCoolshenanigans.

that sounds fun... Except you're screwed as soon as the cloak stops. Still tho', I'm gonna try this in smaller games.

What about:

4-Lom

Mist Hunter

Juke

Outlaw Tech

Advanced Sensors

Should be quite the knife fighter. Evade first through the AS, perform a red maneuver and get the focus token and stress, have a fully modified defense and modified offense, then pass the stress off and repeat!

I've been running 4LOM with Wired, Zuckuss crew, sensor jammer and title/tractor (in a list with palob, so sensor jammer is guaranteed to stop a hit from at least 1 opponent if they're in range 1-2). The build I have zuckuss in atm has him using VI, sensor jammer, title/tractor (also paired with palob, so less need for 4LOM crew that I'd use otherwise, and probably electronic baffle instead of snesor jammer).

I'm hoping the base G-1A is low enough for

2x BS Enforcer

2x (base) G-1A

Knowing the lowest is PS 5, I doubt they will be as cheap as 21 points, which would mean FCS on the G-1As and Autothrusters on the Starvipers. I'm rather sad that list does not seem to be a reality...

Lowest is PS3, not PS5, but still not gonna be 21 points given the similarities to the 22 point PS2 b-wing. (And the fact that the PS6 4lom is 27 points.)

What about:

4-Lom

Mist Hunter

Juke

Outlaw Tech

Advanced Sensors

Yes. I like this one a lot.
