Scum Aces

By Cusm, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After seeing a post on the Facebook group I thought I would try a Scum Aces list. I like this list, but I'm not completely happy with the yet and could use some input.

Scum Aces (100)

Kihraxz Fighter: Talonbane Cobra (28)
Fearlessness (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Protectorate Starfighter: Fenn Rau (28)
Push The Limit (3)

Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Autothrusters (2)

G-1A Starfighter: Zuckuss (28)
Veteran Instincts (1)

Fire Control System (2)

Black Market Slicer Tools (1)

Mist Hunter (0)

Tractor Beam (1)

I slightly prefer vectored thrusters on Talonbane, it gains less ground, but its a little more arc dodgy IMO. Plus its cheaper so you can have a bid or give him an illicit. These guys slang a lot of red die, but they want to get up in your opponents face which backfires a lot. Another "ace" I like is Kavil, he can get to PS9 like the others and is similar in points. Him with VI, TLT, unhinged, and VT comes out to 34 or 31 with dorsal instead.

Agreed. EU helps on Talonbane but without action economy of some kind if you use it you're rolling without mods. I'd go with one of these builds instead:

- Glitterstim, VT, Fearlessness

- Glitterstim, VT, Crack Shot

- PTL, VT

- PTL, Cloaking Device

Oh but I so love Kavil with Predator...
