CorSec Academy: Building a List #1 - IG-88

By playnwin, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Nice article! But I only see 13 command cards.

I've never thought of using Single Purpose for Jabba... that's wicked!

great write up. i cant wait to bring ig88 into skirmish again, my favourite bounty hunter

Nice but I'd consider putting in Vinto + some good 1-point skirmish attachment with your last 6 points instead of the eNexu.

Black Market, Devious Schemes, or Prey on the Weak would all be great options here:

  • PotW works well to enhance damage and range on IG, but can do the same for Vinto depending on where you equip (which you can choose at the start of a match after seeing your opponent's list).
  • Black Market is very good at drawing you cards with Jabba.
  • D. Schemes is an awesome way to help ensure IG goes first Round 2 to wreck then seek cover...

No attach for IG

I had thought of prey on the weak for IG88 but then remembered that his new version requires an attachment so you can't have two on him

vinto with black market or prey of on weak is good tho. His 5 cost is higher than most of the 4 point figures these days

Only problem is that IG-88 already has an attachment and cannot take a second. I'd love PotW, though.

I dunno, the Nexu is a good harasser and can be irritating to remove with cunning and the white dice. It being ridiculously fast has its uses.

I think I will try Vinto, though. Haven't played with him yet.

Right sorry no second attachment on IG. Brain fart. Other good options in my post though!

Thanks for pointing that out! I was missing Primary Target and Tools for the Job, both of which fall into the "No Kill Like Overkill" category, which is more than half the command deck at this point.

Oh yeah, that's how my scum Hunter list works.
