Hiya Guys,

I'm looking to take part in an escalation tournament and wondered if people had any awesome ideas in terms of lists...

It's 4 round, each round escalating the points available from the last, so...

60 90 120 150

Each round you have to use the previous list and build upon it, you can't change any previous selections, other than to add additional upgrades etc to it...

I'm looking to be taking my Scum, and have access to multiples of all the currently released ships for scum..

My initial thoughts for my 60pt list were as follows:

Ndru Z95- Lone Wolf, Cluster Missiles, Extra Munitions, Guidance Chips and Glitter Stim

Contracted Scout JumpMaster - A Score to Settle , Proton Torps, Extra Munitions, Unhinged Astro , Guidance Chips, K4 Security Droid

Its a round 60pts so no extra points to spend on the subsequent round... and it's pretty good for an alpha strike.. however, is it optimal? where could I go from there with my next 30pts and the two lots of 30pts after that? or would you go in a completely different direction ?

So... what horrors can you guys think of?

If you are looking to go this route I would take a big bunch of mindlink! It goes really well with ndru and the torpedo boat. Keep ndru cheap and just FYI ndru cannot take extra munitions since he has no torpedo slot. You can

For the next round you can add a fenn rau with everything, and whatever you want in the next rounds. Another torpedo boat? A palob with TLT and mind link? Mindlinked scyks with HLC?

Agree with ML, if you can change your EPTs
If you can not. Then still Fenn, with AT. Later add title and fearlessness or PTL on Fenn and get either Palob TLT, Mux TLT or another Scout.

Great ! cheers for the feedback !

So which other routes would you suggest if not going the Ndru / Jump Master route?

An alternate list(s) I was thinking of taking would be:

60pts

Fenn Rau - Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

Kavil - Ion Cannon turret

90pts

Fenn Rau - Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

Kavil - Ion Cannon turret

Old Teroch - Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

120pts -

Fenn Rau - Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

Kavil - Ion Cannon turret - Unhinged Astro

Old Teroch - Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

Syndicate Thug - Twin Laser Turret, Unhinged Astro

150pts

Fenn Rau - Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

Kavil - Ion Cannon turret - Unhinged Astro

Old Teroch - Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters, Concord Dawn Protector

Syndicate Thug - Twin Laser Turret, Unhinged Astro

Guri - Attanni Mindlink, Autothrusters

In terms of EPTS, I can add them to later lists, but I can't replace them if a ship already has one in a previous list..

Interesting through, Attanni might be the way to go.. will have to play around with the lists to see what I can get in ; )

Depends on the faction really. I personally would play a rebel list with fully fledged Rey in a 60 points list, then upgrade as it goes.

Ah, sorry forgot to mention, first list has to be a minimum of two ships ! otherwise I'd go for a tooled up party bus or something similar ; )

A friend of mine is looking to take Rebels (i've only got the one faction, so it'll be scum all the way for me) so any pointers for him will help as well.. plus gives me an idea of what I'm up against ; )
