First Scum List

By killakan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking at buying the Most Wanted Expansion and built a list out of what I would find in there and added an additional Y-Wing because I got one. How do I fare?

(Yet Another) X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder

Kavil

  • Veteran Instincts
  • Bomb Loadout
  • Proximity Mines
  • Unhinged Astromech
  • Engine Upgrade
  • Autoblaster Turret
  • BTL-A4
  • Proton Torpedoes

Hired Gun

  • Bomb Loadout
  • Proximity Mines
  • Unhinged Astromech
  • Engine Upgrade
  • Autoblaster Turret
  • BTL-A4
  • Proton Torpedoes

N'Dru Suhlak

  • Veteran Instincts
  • "Hot Shot" Blaster
  • Engine Upgrade

Are good here or what else do I need to buy to be good?

BTL A4 is a bad ides on Kavil. Totally negates his ability.

You have Kavil with the title, that is not a good idea really. Kavil gets a bonus for shooting at people outside of his arc and the title locks you into shooting within the arc. Kavil's bonus will never activate.

You have more Engine Upgrades equipped than you actually currently own.

The amount of ordnance on your Y-Wings isn't helping either; you'll be asking yourself each time what to do with your action: focus, target lock for the proton torpedo, drop the bomb, boost, that's a lot.

I've stripped down the list and took out the Z for Kath Scarlett:

Kavil (24)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Hired Gun (20)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Kath Scarlet (Scum) (38)
Predator (3)
K4 Security Droid (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Total: 99
With Predator, you can afford to boost Kath so she keeps her rear pointed towards the enemy. Swing your Y's around to make sure the prey can't disengage.

FIXED

Now what?

I might just go with this but what should I buy next is the question.

With what you currently own, and with the addition of Most Wanted, you can afford to start looking at what upgrades you want instead of just the ships.

For instance, if you buy a StarViper you get not just a versatile ship but also a bunch of upgrades that could benefit your lists regardless of faction. The Autothrusters (you get two) would complement your A-Wings or Interceptors, the Accuracy Corrector goes nicely on a B-Wing.

A HWK-290 would benefit your Rebel and Scum factions both and is a neat little support ship.

An Agressor comes with a bunch of Illicit Upgrades

The Hound's Tooth has some EPT's that are well worth considering (some would say the Crack Shot alone is worth the price of admission)

You're at the point where it's up to your personal preference really. What would you like to be able to do?

Personally, I like using 3-4 ace level ships that fly in formation or split up.
