Scum Escort (100)

Syndicate thug (18) x2
-bomb loadout (0)
-unhinged astromech (1)
-munitions failsafe (1)
-flechette torpedoes (2)
-seismic charge (2)
-autoblaster turret (2)
-BTL-A4 (0)
Total (26) x2 (52)

binayre pirate (12) x4
Total (48)

The game I played with it I flew two squads of one Y with two Zs each, and it went well. Was flying against a named tie swarm with a bomber in the back, which is why I went with the flechettes and autoblaster. Willing to buy one more scum this week. Was thinking of the protectorate cause the promo pilot i got looked good

I would consider dropping the two failsafes. from there, you can upgrade the torps to plasma, the bombs to prox, or throw some BMST or VT on the Z's.

I like the idea of running these in two sets of three. Whatever flank is targeted can charge in and block, while the other can come in from the side and take care of business.

Agreed, with extra munitions on both, you'll have more than enough weapons supply I would think.

Protectorate is super fun to fly. I've been using with the ShadowCaster.
