Chase me Kath and the Concord Dawn.

By Rsquared, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I love playing Scum Kath Scarlet, I've been playing a few variations centred around her. My current favourite is going down well with me.

Kath Scarlet - Predator,Tail Gunner, Black Market Slicer Tools - 44pts

Concord Dawn Veteran - Predator, Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector - 28pts

Concord Dawn Veteran - Predator, Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector - 28pts

100pts

I like it. The Starfighters are highly manoeuvrable, tough to nail, dish out the hits, and are great fun to play.

I also love it when anyone tries to chase down Kath, especially up close.

Range 2-3 in the rear arc is 4 attack dice, Range 1 up her tail pipe means facing 5 attack dice, with a reroll, sometimes 2, and 1 less defence dice. I just chuck a focus on her every time.

I think the list is solid, although there are a few matchups that will give you headaches (palp aces, dengaroo and dash to name a few).

Here's a suggestion, but its not better than your list. Just different:

Kath (as above) = 44

Old Teroch w/ PTL, title & thrusters = 32

Zealous Recruit w/ title & thrusters = 23

99

You get a bit of a bid against Dash (helpful for your PS 7 ships) and now if you set up the combo of having Old T in range 1 of an enemy plus Kath with a butt shot, the target not only loses -1 agility, but has no tokens (you can achieve the same thing by blocking with the zealous recruit---helps to keep Teroch alive longer in the early game by not having to rush him to R1 when the enemy is strongest).

I'd like to try something like this out. I've never flown a FireSpray, and I'm really not sure any version stands up to Palp Defenders or Dash, but it looks like it would be fun to run.

If I was going to go for something more competitive, I think I'd try and pair it with a Party Bus, and use Kath to help fill in where the YV-666's arc doesn't cover.

If you go this route you can upgrade the YV to Bossk and still have room for a BMST Z and 2 points for upgrades (feedback on Bossk) or an init bid.
