Scum HWK list (budgie smugglers)

By Aresxero, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Couldn't find anything on here like this so want to see what people think about this list, I have used it a little but still feels like it's missing something.

Torkil mux (28)

Hull upgrade

Twin laser turret

Palob godalhi (38)

Recon specialist

Predator

Twin laser turret

Moldy crow

Hull upgrade

Dace bonearm (33)

Ion cannon turret

Engine upgrade

99 points total

It's been quite fun to play and dace does more damage than I was expecting.

And help is apreciated

Edit: added hull upgrade to Palob as I forgot he had it

Edited by Aresxero

Triple Scummy Hawks is better than a lot of people give it credit for.

Comments:

  1. Dace's ability works with anyone's ion weapons, not just his own. Added to the fact that a decimator or similar needs two ion hits to fritz it, I'd consider two ion turrets to one other.
  2. Whilst a twin laser turret doesn't need it, you could save a lot of points on Palob by taking a blaster turret instead - having focus to power it shouldn't be hard. A lethal pairing is a blaster turret and opportunist - steal someone's focus token, use it to attack them with the blaster turret, and at the same time you've made them vulnerable to triggering opportunist, allowing you to smack them with 4 attack dice.

At the same time, TLT fire with predator is nasty, especially with Torkil. That essentially means Palob won't miss, and stealing your tokens means you can't dodge.

I do think engine upgrades are a good call on Hwks - their dial is bad and they need manoeuvrability more than one extra hit point.

Bossk works really well with TLT also

Looks good to me. Might trade hull upgrade font Mux for K4 on Dace. Since he will be clearing stress, he could get TL and boost.
