Dengar (Expertise, Unhinged, K4, Plasma Torps, EM, Chips, Title) 58 points

Nym (VI, Autoblaster, Bomblets, Accuracy Corrector, Title, Genius) 39 points

Someone tell me this is a bad list so I can stop tempting myself to fly this instead of Rauboats. I'm hoping with a 3 points bid, I can try to dodge Telgar's first volley of torps. And then VI with a guaranteed 2 damage autoblaster and barrel roll (not to mention bombs) I can shred opposing Fenn's and the like. Also not sure what people would do with target priority.

I also fly Rauboats, this list looks nasty. I'd try and take out Nym first, I'd rather have Fenn vs Dengar than Fenn vs that Nym. Who gets target first depends on what type of list your opponent is flying and which one of these two they would least like to see in a 1v1 I think.

Nym does look really nasty, but I doubt how long he can stay alive. He's built to get in close, but how many turns will he last by the time he gets there?

He can stick around long enough to probably give the rest of your list a clear advantage.

So... Dengar.

I like this, but I don't have Expertise. I was thinking of using Plasma Torpedoes with a Scavanger Crane on Dengar instead, this takes it to 100 points. What do people think of this, good idea or bad idea?

Including Expertise, that's still 97. I assume you drop EM for crane.

Oh yeah, of course!

I know I'll probably get flack for this, but switch K4 out for Kad Bane. Than put cluster mines on the jumpmaster. Dengar is still PS9 and Nym is a 10. Dengar can use his action to TL is he's far away and throw out a torp, but he can now bomb you if he's nearby. Plus, Nym's bomblet's get re-rolls, as does the clusters.

This would be fun, maybe not as competitive as the K4 version, but Dengar can do-it-all.

It's an idea, but I really like the whole Dengar bumped but still gets full mods for his attack.

Denym not Nymgar

I ran a bombing variant of Dengar with that same Nym build at a store champ this weekend and aside from 2 of my 5 games having both green/red dice go completely cold on me (not evading a single attack at R3 through a rock AND through a bomb for +1 auto evade via Nym ability on Dengar really pissed me off, those 2-3 die hits shouldnt have been hitting me at all with 4+1 defense dice) it was absolutely brutal. The other 3 games where my dice wasnt utterly crapping on my face i won handily and made it up to Table2 before going cold

It took out a ghost in 2 combat rounds. If anything, im proud of that LOL

We had 3 different Nymgar builds in a 12 player tournament last night, mine finished 2nd, another finished 1st, the other one I'm not sure but I beat him in round 2. Its crazy.

Never would have thought a PS 10 ship would have to have an initiative bid. lol

Yep, both had 99 while I had 100 pts, their PS10 nym caused me a lot of headache but the one who beat me and finished 1st had Adv Sensors on his and I rolled all hits/crits on the bombs I had to roll, really devastating.

You must have missed the meta where PS 11 Vaders had to have 3 to 4 point initiative bids or almost auto-lose the mirror.

I wasn't playing this game competitively back than. So, it wasn't as big of an issue. I'm kinda wondering if PS 11 Dengar is going to start popping up.

PS11's in general concern me. I've seen some PS11 Quickdrawn/PS11 Vader lists which aren't so nice to face.
