I got tagged to play in a team-style tournament where I need to play the Scum faction. I've been toying around with some ideas but I am in need of advice.

1. Paratanni - Pro's are it is a solid list, Cons are I hate flying meta and have only a little experience flying Fen

2. IG-88 B (FCS, HLC, VI, Glitterstim, Autothrusters, Seismic Charge) & Bossk (mangler, gunner, IG-88D, Inertial Dampeners, Zuckuss, Wired) - Pros are it's a powerful triple tap that ignores Kylo's blinded pilots and nukes Defenders. Cons are it is only 2 ships and falls apart fast.

3. Quad TLT Y's - Pros are solid consistent damage, Cons are ?

I'm leaning towards the IG-Bossk list, but am worried that Paratanni is just so much better right now. On the other hand, TLTs are just solid and dependable. I'll probably be going up against all the Meta lists, so thoughts?

I've got a 2 HWK 1 Y-Wing list that just shreds aces

Kattanni

I love it, anyways

Of your three lists, I would go Bossk and IG just because it isnt around much and people dont really know how to play against it yet. Plus, your matches will be over in like 25 minutes.

I would also go the Bossk & IG list, it's the most fun of the 3 to fly. If I could offer a suggestion though.

You don't need Inertial Dampers on Bossk, he already has a Stop on his dial.

I would replace Wired with Snap Shot (remember that Bossk has a 180 degree arc on his primary weapon and snap shot could be very handy) and then give him the Burnout SLAM illicit so you can fly in, stop, blast at things and then move away fast if you need to avoid a bunch of focused fire.

The problem with dropping dampners for burnout slam is that, with Zuckus aboard, Bossk is going to be stressed a lot which shuts off his 0 stop as well as his actions.

Cons are: Fast higher PS ships getting in your range 1 bubble. And the fact that its arguably one of the least enjoyable lists to fly with and against.

I like the concept of Snapshot. Problem is, wired has really paid off in modifying attack and defense dice for me. I'd hate to loose it.

Wouldn't it be cool if Snapshot could activate gunner and IG88-B? Assuming you miss 2 shots, that will give you 4 more. Six shots from one ship per turn.

When your say team style, is this counting points as a team, or flying actual matches in teams? Because those change things a lot.

But, either way, I'm probably on the bossk Iggy bus. It's fun, it's fast, and it eats a lot of conventional strategies for breakfast.

Team as in, 1 Scum, 1 Imp and & Rebel list per team.

I, too, vote for the Bossk + IG-88B list. Sure it's 2 ships, but I've had a lot of success with 2-ship Scum lists. Those bounty hunters know how to handle themselves.

Paratanni takes some practice to fly really well. Or to have a natural aptitude for that specific type of puzzle.

Quad TLT is just boring as hell to play or play against... I tried quad HWKs in the Vassal league, expecting it to be mildly interesting and it was just plain boring (to me).

Bossk/IG is fun. Mirror matches are ridiculous too! I'm not sure how it avoids Kylo crits, short of using the original damage deck. Gunner and IG don't trigger off of the new Blinded pilot...

Ketsu/Bossk also looks like a ton of fun.

I'm facing similar decisions for Naboo, it's not easy to pick just one!

I'm not sure what I was thinking. Turns out skipping a shot and missing a shot are different things. I hate rules.

Hey now, I have a Palob/Mux/Kavil list that just eats things
