The local game shop has it's monthly tournament tomorrow and I was planning on bringing along this squad.

49 points, Captain Nym - Expertise, Extra Munitions, Dorsal Turret, Proximity Mine x 2, Minefield Mapper, Havoc Title, Cluster Missiles and Guidance Chip.

51 points, Asajj Ventress - Expertise, Gyroscopic Targeting, Glitterstim x 2, Shadowcaster Title, and Ketsu Onyo

I haven't seen anyone utilize the Minefield Mapper yet, so I thought I would give it a go myself. The hope is to have a favorable asteroid placement allowing me to plug up lanes with the proximity mines before the game really starts. Nym will ignore my own mines and helps everyone benefit from any shots targeted through the large mine tokens. Extra Munitions lets me fire off the Cluster Missiles twice, and with Guidance Chip, I can assign one Critical once per round when using the missles. The Dorsal Turret will give me at least a ranged 2 shot outside my arc, but can give me a bonus if they are in range one.

Asajj is there to give out stress and hopefully Tractor Beam people onto mines or rocks. Ketsu will keep the tractor beam on the table and possibly even allow those TB tokens to stack up, further reducing ship agility. Expertise is a free attack focus as long as I'm not stressed, but I have 2 Glitterstims available if I think I'm going to be ganged up on to keep Ventress from taking too much fire.

Thoughts or other ideas?

I played against this pairing, and very similar plan, at UK Nationals. He used MM and Cluster Mines to try and build a wall that Nym could hide behind and plink plink with his TLT. I'm not at all sure it's a 'good' plan, but it did force me to deliberately smash over a set of his mines to get inside his fortress and kill Nym.

I think you'll want Rigged Cargo Chutes on Asajj, personally. They'll help you block off lanes.

Thanks for the reply.

If I had more points to spare, I'd put TLT on Nym as well.

Not sure I've had much luck with the cargo chutes. If it had a better chance out giving out damage, I might seriously consider using it. But since, Ventress gives out stress so easily, I'm thinking the double stims will keep her alive better than a sudden debris field.

I think I would still try for the TLT. this Nym doesnt have a reasonb to get close like the bomblet/genius build does. Also, I get why you have Ketsu instead of Latts, but Assaj is so much tankier with Latts. I think you could get rid of glitterstim since you have expertise. Than, evade token plus latts to tank, expertise to attack. She's an all around boss. I do like the idea overall. It looks fun
