Scum Can't Beat Them Join Them

By garciaj113, in X-Wing

I like the idea of Rebel/Imps being able to hire Scum faction ships, the idea I had in mind was:

Hired Gun: Title (2pts)

Scum & Villiany Only

Must have a minimum pilot skill of 6

"You may equip other titles on this ship. You must have more ships of your faction than of those of the scum faction"

What do u guys think?

added Scum only restriction to clarify, added PS restriction

I like the idea of paying some points to get access to scum ships. It really fits the theme of hired guns and bountyhunters or mercenaries

Or the term scum-wing becomes a reality.

Sounds like you're an Imperial Assault player!

I really like the idea, but I think I'd make the slight tweak to be that it had to be a Bounty Hunter or another more skilled scum, so the scum ship you include must be a unique pilot with a pilot skill higher than 5.

"Can't beat them, join them" seems litterally Thweek's atitude.

No, that's "you can't beat them, be them"

Ok, then Sabine in her captured tie.

God no, can you imagine some of the scum bruisers or whisper hiding behind biggs or low? Or deci/jumpmaster?

Broken just wouldn't cut it.....maybe as a one off friendly to do something a lil different........

Our group has bent rules on casual theme days (we had an "attack of the clones!" fun event where unique rules were ignored) but that concept as proper game rules makes me shudder.

Edit: ooh! Heres a good one. 2 torp boats + shara bey, wep engineer, vi. Bey moves last, then makes sure the torps boats can target the opponets whole list unless he takes a swarm.....

@Ralgon u forgot the restriction I put on the card. U need to have a greater number of rebel ships (or imp ships) than scum ships, so 1 rebel and 1 scum ship is not allowed. Also no mixing of imperial and rebels.

Ok, kanan, rex ,dengar. Tell me that's not a monster.

Dengar with title (45pts)

-additional 2pt tax

Kanan (38pts)

Rex (14pts)

u have 1 pts for upgrades the list would be absolutely terrible, both Kanan and Dengar need a decent amount of upgrades to be viable

forgot my title

Imperial Assault allows faction mixing and it has made the competitive format homogenous.

I also find it strange to see a suggestion that Scum needs to be made stronger right now.

@garciaj113 I have an alternative format set up for what you are looking for. Allies & Mercenaries or Allied Merc for short (AM abv.)

Take a look at let me know if you have any questions.
