Scum List from a new player

By The Rook, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hey everyone. I'm new to the game and i decided to pick up the scum faction. Here is my starting list. Please help explain the pros and cons of this list. Thanks everyone

Firespray-31 for 49 points

- Boba Fett - Pilot

- Lone Wolf

- Engine Upgrade

- Tactician

- Slave 1

- Glitterstim

M3-A Interceptor for 20 points

-Serissu - Pilot

Kihraxz Fighter - 31 points

-Talonbane Cobra - Pilot

- ION Pulse Missiles

Looks like a fun list, might not be overly competitive unless you fly the crap out of it. Just a couple thoughts.

1) Lone wolf on the Fett is a waste since you can only reroll a die once, so his ability is basically like lone wolf already and once you have rerolled a die you cant reroll it again.

2) if you are going the engine upgrade route with a firespray then push the limit + k4 security droid works very very well. You push for a stress which lets you boost if you need it or take a focus evade for those shots you will likely take trying to get range 1 for the rerolls

3) I would drop ion pulse on talonbane and take something that will make him last a little longer since he generally has a big target painted on him right off the bat. something like engine upgrade to get those range 1 shots/get out of arcs, or even a shield/hull maybe so he can take another punch. I dunno I havent had much success with talonbane but i know people who have

Finally this is just my personal preference, for the points I love Kath scarlett with outmaneuver and thats its (until 4-LOM comes out). Your rear arc counts for outmaneuver so when you blow passed someone who doesnt expect it you get +1 red for shooting out the butt, and they get -1 green for you not being in their arc. Absolutely love this combo and for 41 points its cheap for a large ship. You can spice it up however you like but she does great just like that.

Anyways sorry that got a little long, good to see a fellow scum lover, they are a ton of fun to fly but dont really have a lot of competitive lists currently outside of brobots and 4 tlt y wings (yuk). hope the input helped a bit, and happy hunting.

PS M3As are generally just not a very good ship, they have some situational uses but thats about it
