So I've played a few games with the new Scurrg and fell in love with Genius Bomblet Nym in this build:

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Adaptability (0)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cruise Missiles (3)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Fire-Control System (2)
"Genius" (0)
Guidance Chips (0)
Havoc (0)

Total: 42

I was playing him next to World's Dengar, and after some bad flying Dengar landed on a rock in the first engange and died without shooting once, Nym then proceeded to solo out the game and win, I had some luck, my opponent's attack dice we so good, he almost always rolled two hits on the bomblets.

My question about this Nym is, who do I pair him with? Dengar has been a pretty good companion, but with the possible FAQ coming I might have to change it... also, I'll probably remove EM for the 2 point bid if I do play him with Dengar.

In the previous Nym build I'm only using the first part of his ability, the ignore bombs part, I think this is a pretty solid one for the second part, the evade part, and here are a few possible partners for that one, just not sure it'll be any good:

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Extra Munitions (2)
Cluster Mines (4)
Cluster Mines (4)
Minefield Mapper (0)
Havoc (0)

VI can be changed to Adaptability, Predator or Expertise or add R5-P8.

To play beside him I've thought of the following:

Tel Trevura (30)
Lone Wolf (2)
Recon Specialist (3)
Overclocked R4 (1)
Glitterstim (2)
Countermeasures (3)
Punishing One (12)

Total: 53

The idea behind this Tel is to kinda play like Dash, you have 2/3 focus, with Recon Overclocked, and you try to hide behind bombs for the evade, although there is two major differences between this Tel and actual Dash that will have impact, first, Dash rolls 4 dice, Tel only rolls 3, and second, Dash's target won't have range bonus, Tel's will. But, I'll have to fly to see.

Asajj Ventress (37)
Push the Limit (3)
Latts Razzi (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)

This Asajj can be made differently of course, and you can add things to Nym, such as switch VI for Expertise.

The idea behind this Ventress was to take it's natural buffiness with Latts and try to make it even more with Nym's ability.

Of course, my opponent doesn't have to shoot at either of these, it might just go after Nym, which could be a problem....

Oh well, I'll have to try these things to see, opinions are welcome and sorry for the long post.

Does it have to be a 2-ship list?

Dengar + Nym is pretty well established for good reason. If you're going to leave behind Scum's undisputed high champion, maybe you should consider taking more than one ship to replace him.

Torkil Mux helps you win the PS race, and can carry Cad Bane to boost your bomb game. With TLT and Cad Bane he's a neat 27 points, with an open Illicit Slot if you don't need points somewhere else.

Nym and Torkil leave +/- 30 points for the rest of your list. You'll want something that hits hard and can take take a hit in return. Kavil with Fearlessness, Unhinged, Autoblaster Turret, and Vectored Thrusters is a 31-point Range 1 death machine.

Yeah, for companions it didn’t have to be just one ship, didn’t make that clear enough, sorry.

I've tried autoblaster Nym with Fenn and Inaldra, it was weird game, was playing agaisnt PS 10 RAC so I didn't get to drop a single bomb on him, but Fenn and Nym both want to be on top of your enemy, and if your dropping bombs fenn might not be too happy.

I like that Kavil, Dorsal Kavil is one of my favourites, but he's still a y-wing and dies pretty fast.... specially at Range 1.

I might try that Torkil... sounds pretty cool... and it leaves me with 33 points if I use only 1 cruise missile... perhaps...

Thank you for your advice!
