two non-meta scum lists for comments

By Surak, in X-Wing Squad Lists

so first off, these two lists are not intended to be tier 1 lists, this is me throwing some ships/pilots i enjoy flying on the table in a vaguely coherent way. That being said, our local store is dropping hints at there being a tournament round the corner so i thought I'd open these list up to the hive mind for comments.

list 1 - "need a tow?" - 99pts

ketsu - shadowcaster (38), degnar (3), VI (1), shadowcaster title (3)

serisau - M3-A (20), heavy title (2), adaptability (0), Tractor Beam (1)

Fenn Rau - Protectorate (28), concord dawn title (1), fearlessness (1)

list 2 - "Zuckuss and friends" - 99pts

Sunny Bounder - M3-A (14), light title (-2)

2x Cartel Spacers - M3-A (14), light title (-2)

2x Black Sun Soldiers - Z95 (13), Vectored thrusters (2)

Zuckuss - G-1A (28), mist hunter (0), tractor beam (1), collision detector (0), outlaw tech (2) inertial dampener (1), VI (1)

thoughts welcome, I'm aiming for fun as much as effective - other ships i like flying are starvipers, y-wings, and kihraxz if people want to suggest swap-outs

I dig the first list, but honestly, Serissu with Tractor Beam is gonna be underwhelming. The others are cool.

The second list is a fun spam list. I don't know if it'll be super competitive, but it could very well be annoying. However, I'm not super sure about the Zuckuss build: it'll get arc, but I don't know if it'll manage a lot of damage.

thanks for the input,

I've actually flown the first list a couple of times, and Serissu is used to setup the shots for the other two hopefully resulting in whatever I'm focusing on being double tractored (from the shadowcaster title and serissu) before Fenn and Ketsu blow them to pieces - in this build Serissu's pilot ability is more of a nice extra, it was her high pilot skill i was after

as for the second list, I'll fully admit to going for ship spam, but i also love the G-1A (i have 2 of them) so i tried liking it in as a bit of a heavy hitter - I'll gladly take recommendations for another 33pt heavy hitter for the spam list

That definitely makes sense, but it does mean shes the obvious last target. So long as you manage to kill people fast I could see it working.

Oh I think Zuckuss could totally be your heavy hitter - he just needs some dice mods. Maybe Dengar, or FCS

I always forget Dengar crew, perhaps drop inertial dampeners and swap in Dengar?

Based on your preferences I think this could be fun to fly

Prince Xizor (34)
VI, AT

Fenn Rau (32)
Fearlessness, title, AT

Cartel Spacer (17)
Heavy title, Tractor Beam

Cartel Spacer (17)
Heavy title, Tractor Beam

hhhhmmmm, interesting - I've never been a fan of the Prince's ability, but i AM a fan of the Starviper (Guru is my normal go-to pilot) so i might give this one a try whilst more or less ignoring his ability

I put him in there for his pilot skill not his ability, but it could be build like this to complement his ability

Prince Xizor (34)
VI, AT

Fenn Rau (34)
PTL, title, AT

Contracted Scout (31)
PTL, Gonk, Unhinged Astromech

Yeah, I don't think the dampeners would be worth it anyway, Dengar will be so much more consistent!
