So its been a bit since I've got a chance to play. Finally picked up all the new stuff and I got a Regional this weekend. Whatcha think of this list? I could probably borrow another eGamorean guard to make better use of Parting Blow but I really wanna try out the Weequay Pirates. Had a random point leftover so I tossed Motivation on Shyla with the idea she could remove the Parting Blow stun from a Gamorrean.

Scum Hunters n Brawlers (15/15/40)
================================
[8] Shyla Varad
[8] Elite Gamorrean Guard
[7] Elite Weequay Pirate
[5] Vinto Hreeda
[6] Jabba The Hutt
[4] Greedo
[1] Devious Scheme
[1] Motivation

-------------------

[3] Assassinate
[2] Heightened Reflexes
[2] Parting Blow
[2] Tools for the Job
[1] Draw
[1] Negation
[1] Primary Target
[1] Pummel
[0] Element of Surprise
[0] Opportunistic
[0] Take Initiative
[2] Parting Blow
[0] Urgency
[0] Fleet Footed
[0] Stimulants

I would look at adding to the limit works very well with Jabba. Grisly contest is always fun but maybe heightened reflexes does trump that.

Is motivation going on Shyla?

Yeah I saw that To the Limit is great for Jabba. (Stimulants might something I could cut for it) And yeah Shyla gets Motivation. It might not come up much but the idea is that I could remote that pesky Parting Blow Stun from a Gamorrean.

I would go with black market or crumb over motivation.

Mainly because Shyla is a prime target on your list and will most likely be the 1-2 unit that will die, motivation on her just gives the enemy another point.
You will probably only use it once in R1 and maybe once in R2... unless you feel that 1mp round 1 will make the difference in your opening on certain maps.

List looks great tho. You really can't go wrong with any of the new scum figures. Command card choice is also very flexible, I would definitely run the hunter stuff but it's up to you if you want to fill it out with more brawler stuff like you did or if you want to go for smuggler cards/other generics. (Note: eGam are not hunters, main people make the mistake of trying to use cards with them)

Very good point about Motivation. I like the idea of Salacious Crumb but is there some tactical reason/trick for taking him that I'm missisng? Other than maybe finishing off characters that get a little too close to Jabba?

Well you don't have to put it on Jabba. Might be better suited on a closer starting figure and also so it activates during an attacking groups activation.

He is useful because he does unmitigated damage and is a brawler (you can play grizzly contest with him). It's just something annoying that your opponent doesn't want to use attacks on (usually takes 2 to kill) and you usually double move him foward in R1 and he can provide that finishing blow in R2/3/4

You could also drop motivation and Greedo for a set of regular weequays. They're great as objective grabbers and door openers and terminal sitters. Also, with your hunter cards they can really pack a punch.

I ran with Black Market on Friday. Really did help. I had like 0 cost cards which was always nice being able to draw them for 3. Also new I could mill a card for a strain. Very flexible card for a point.

i would switch motivation for black market too

Well I went 3-1 and made top 8 today with it. (Swapped Motivation out for Black Market) Good turnout at the Manhattan KS regional, we had 16 players. Highlight of the day was one shoting Bossk with a focused Tools for the Trade (red die) Greedo. Played Heightened Reflexes on the Dodge he rolled. Unfortunately it was against the guy I rode up with, wasn't sure I still had a ride home after that.
