Scum Nym's Friends?

By skins1924, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I really like flying Nym, I've never flown bombs and he is fun. I'm thinking of him for GenCon but I don't know what to pair him with. (I could take my variation of fair ship to gencon instead). Here is the minimum build for Nym

Bounty Hunters - Copy - Copy (100)

Captain Nym (39) - Scurrg H-6 Bomber
Veteran Instincts (1), Autoblaster Turret (2), Bomblet Generator (3), Havoc (0), Advanced Sensors (3), "Genius" (0)

Some options

Dengar?

intensity Kavil and cruise missile N'dru?intensity Fenn and a TLT Y?

anyone have any thoughts or success?

I'd be interested in your thinking with Advanced Sensors, what do you plan on doing with it? Accuracy Corrector is a good option for that slot to make sure your Autoblaster Turret does maximum damage.

I like N'dru with cluster missiles, lone wolf, glitterstim and guidance chips for 25 points. It's not always successful but if I can get a cluster missile shot off with his pilot ability and lone wolf activating it can be devastating (2 x 4 dice attack with something like 7.5 average hits using glitterstim). You could probably fit in Fenn on top of that.

Dengar Nym is a good bet

Dengar (33)
Lone Wolf (2)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Cad Bane (2)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
Proximity Mines (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Punishing One (12)

Captain Nym (Scum) (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Bomblet Generator (3)
Accuracy Corrector (3)
"Genius" (0)
Havoc (0)

Had some fun pairing Nym with Emon for some bombing insanity.

Twins (98)

Captain Nym (40) - Scurrg H-6 Bomber
Veteran Instincts (1), Synced Turret (4), Bomblet Generator (3), Havoc (0), Fire Control System (2), "Genius" (0)

Emon Azzameen (58) - Firespray-31
Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Proximity Mines (3), Cad Bane (2), Slave I (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Extra Munitions (2), Conner Net (4)

Still trying out different ordnance options on the Firespray... It's been fun playing this out. Emon is pretty crazy and tends to be the main target in the few games I played.

Nym has been surprisingly resilient in the end game.

I like advanced sensors for my focus or target lock when I have cruise missiles. It also allows a little extra reposition to get my nymlets off. I like advance sensor t-roll cruise missile with Nym. I'll try N'dru, Fenn and Nym.

I have not flow much jumpmaster so I'm not sure what to do with dengar

thanks for the feedback

I am looking at something like this but I am planning on experimental interface instead of EU on the Firespray so I can take an action then drop a bomb.

Firespray-31: · Emon Azzameen (36)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Proximity Mines (3)
· Experimental Interface (3)
· Cad Bane (2)
· Slave I (0)
Rigged Cargo Chute (1)
Cluster Mines (4)
Extra Munitions (2)
Scurrg H-6 Bomber: · Captain Nym (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
· Bomblet Generator (3)
Hull Upgrade (3)
· Havoc (0)
Accuracy Corrector (3)
· "Genius" (0)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

You could drop the rigged cargo chute or hull upgrade and mod to your taste or bid for initiative.

I think I might try this. I have also been experimenting with a quad jumper.

Had some great success with the below list this weekend at a Store Championship. Finished Swiss undefeated and ranked #1. Lost in first round of semifinals after Cad Bane finally let me down. Would love to find a way for TLT on Nym instead of Autoblaster, but not sure what I would want to sacrifice off of Dengar...

If you are going to invest 61 points in one ship, do it on one that no one wants to shoot at the whole game. :)
