Mandalorian List?

By Frostthorn, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I have been bouncing this idea around in my head for awhile. I am looking to build a Mandalorian themed list for fun to play with friends and with my partner. Give it a look and let me know what you think. If any changes are suggested I have the ships listed below in my signature. Thank you:

PILOT: Cartel Spacer 14

SHIP: M3-A Interceptor

Total Points: 14

PILOT: Cartel Spacer 14

PILOT: Cartel Spacer 14

SHIP: M3-A Interceptor

Total Points: 14

PILOT: Mandalorian Mercenary 35

SHIP: Slave 1

UPGRADES PTS

Predator 3

Dengar 3

Glitterstim 2

Total Points: 43

99/100

Props for building a thematic list. 4 naked Scyks have dubious utility- maybe 3 with Title+Tractor Beam might be more effective. As for the Firespray, Dengar and Predator together are pretty redundant. i see one of Dengar's strengths is that he saves you from having to take Predator, opening up a precious Elite slot. You could also swap out the Merc for Boba Fett, considering how low the PS is across the board in your current list.

Maybe try:

Boba Fett

-Veteran Instincts

-4-LOM, Gonk, etc.

-Tractor Beam

-Glitterstim

-Engine Upgrade

Cartel Spacer x3

-Title

-Tractor Beam

You could also run two Mandalorian Mercs and maybe a Scyk- changes the composition of the list, but keeps the theme.

I like that idea, I would need to get the mist hunter as I still don't have that. I have also been wanting a second Firespray. We shall see what payday brings.

Make sure when you hand in your list to the TO, it looks something like this:

One Ion or Flechette cannon Scyk opens up a control option, but also drives the price up :(

Tractor beam scyks are not worth it. At least, not on generics. I would only consider tractor on Serissu. With Juke or crack shot to keep her cost down.

Also if you run a mandalorian mercenary, don't put predator and dengar on together. You are spending 6 points for three re-rolls, but you are not likely to need that many re-rolls (most of the time). Take one or the other.

A solid Mando merc build is 40 points with predator and tactician. If you take two of those, you have 20 points left. You could take a Mangler Scyk or a thug w/ autoblaster turret (to cover the firespray's blind spots)

Alternatively, you could run one 40 point Mando Merc alongside 3 mangler scyks for an even 100. Don't fly the Scyks in front of the firespray though. The scyks want to stay back. Because of bump issues though, you don't want the firespray in front of them, so keep it out of their way.

Its not super competitive, but either version has decent firepower.
