New to game, loving scum

By D0CT0R, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have Firespray, HWK and most wanted expansion along with Force awakens core, Decimator, TIE X1, TIE punisher, Falcon and Lambda. I would welcome any Scum build with what I have. Thanks guys

Look at the one in my signature. You might not have every upgrade but I bet you can come close.

I love scum too, remember: do it the them before they do it to you!

Also, when that jumpmaster 5k comes out in the next.week or.so we.are.going to get much better

Thanks for that, will give that a go. Am planning on a Punishing One, Houndstooth and a Khirax(?).

As a Scum player, Mosyt Wanted is a superb product. If you can buy a second box, it will very good purchase. . Two Y plus 4 Zs give you a very wide arc of options.

I think that Scum Boba is a good starting point. Select cheap upgrades like Seismic and use Predator. K 4 security droid is a formidable crew upgrade for new players

And you can include your 3 Most Wanted ships. A typical 100 pts starting fleet that is quite easy to play. The Ilicit slot is quite good, proxy cards like Inertia Dampers or Glitterstim and experiment a little. Try TLT and Ion turrets on Y. Proxy cards, Copy, Paste, Print.

When S&V was released, this was one of the most affordable 100 pts fleet.

I just want to point out that predator, K4 droid and Scum Boba are all effects that offer re-rolls. You don't need that many re-rolls!

I'm not typically a huge VI fan, but I have to admit, it is a great card for Boba Fett.

Boba w/ Veteran Instincts & engine upgrade = 44. This is an excellent starting point for building this guy out to be effective against all kinds of opponents. Tactician and Glitterstim are my preferred upgrades to round it out, but any dial reveal bomb is a nice addition if you have the points for it (seismic, ion or proton).

I agree, EU is superb in a FS 31, and if you are at range 1, too many rerolls. With EU you can close distances so fast... OK.

Perhaps my main advice should be try diferent combos with Boba and deploy the Most wanted shipa

Thanks guys, really informative and helpful; loving the idea of all the scum ships being fielded. Where do I get Glitterstim?

In the Khiraxz for sure, and I think the YV-666 has it too?

I am an avid scum player, and I have to say that the StarViper and Kihraxz are some of my favorite ships at the moment. Wave 8 will bring some amazing tools to the Scum faction as well, but in the meantime I would recommend exploring each of of these ships.

Yep, these ships are interesting, only take this into account. Unlike many other games, the Basic Most Wanted box is competitive. If you own one plus FS 31 plus Hwk 290, you own an excelent starting fleet.

Do not fall in the trap of, per example, buying Star Viper only to own AT cards. Buy models, not cards. Play some matches, try diferent ilicit upgrades and crew mates, Scum faction is quite customizable, enjoy it.

Hwk 290 is, perhaps, better in 150 pts matches. Or in the hands or more veteran playerd. Play and have fun !!!

Thanks Hex, good advise that...I have to say I buy ships because I like the look of them and not necessarily for cards.

Very solid build is:

2x Thug with TLTs + Unhinged

Firespray of your choice for remaining 50 points, examples:

Boba+PtL+K4+EU

Boba+Vi+RecSpec+HotShot+Eu

Kath+ similar as above (i dont play her much)

p.s. Khiraxz is lacking for now:P
