Ive been fantasizing about the M3s latley. Those small, fast hardhitting sobs of death!!!

But they tend to be more of poofpoofs when they blow up.

so I came up with this concept.

Contracted Scout (28) - JumpMaster 5000
Intimidation (2), Intelligence Agent (1)

Tansarii Point Veteran (24) - M3-A "Scyk" Interceptor
Crack Shot (1), "Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (2), "Mangler" Cannon (4)

I know Mindlink is an option, but im thinking. 3 dice usually aint enough.

Any thoughts or ideas on this?

It's a fairly effecient list, I will say that. But you are right that the poor Scyks tend to go poof, when looked at too hard. In a Scyk Swarm, I highly recommend Serrisu. Taking into account your concern with 3 dice not being enough, perhaps this list would serve a bit better...

I know the "Light Scyk" title isn't out yet, but I felt was worth including as part of the theorycrafting. Otherwise you could supplement the HLCs with Manglers, and give Serrisu the Heavy Scyk title instead. Don't think theres enough points to give her a weapon though...maybe a thread tracer.

Tractor Serrisu is better for the same price as Thread Tracer.

A mixed force of HLC's and Manglers is a thing of beauty. Serissu is a decent, but I am really looking forward to those new pilots. Until then, keep practicing!

Its a thing of beuty with all those HLC, but they also come with the range 1 weakness.

To bad u cant fit the bumpmaster with 3 HLC, Would be beutiful !! Started to consider shieldupgrade, but the pointcost..

I am running a small Tournament this friday and dont want to bring a superheavy metalist. So cant run with the lightscyk (sitting on nails waiting C-roc) !!
