40 points for a beefy scum ship...who is it?

By Deepspace5, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Greetings all! It has been quite some time since I have posted and/or played some X-Wing. I snagged Guns for Hire and went straight for a list with my old favorite Guri. I sprinkled in some Thweek and now I believe I have a list I want to take to a fun tournament this weekend.

I end up at 40 points left for my third ship. I feel to compliment the two StarVipers I need something beefy that can also bring some heat. I considered a Dengar without title with a few upgrades, but I am also looking at Ventress. The last thing to note is I am currently running Guri with Mindlink, so this beefy ship needs to have an EPT.

What would you pick for a 40-point mindlinked ship?

Ventress + AML + Latts crew

Bossk + AML + Harpoon Missile + Guidance Chips

???? + ??? + ???


*Edited to change Ketsu crew to Latts crew*

I think you mean Ventress, AML and Latts Razzi?

Anyway. That. "40pts for a beefy scum ship"= Mindlinked Asajj with Latts.

Yes, sorry! Thanks for the input! It's been so long, and even then, I was never a regular player due to other life things going on.

Asajj/AML/Latts is probably the most viable thick meat you'll stuff into 40 points.

That said, here's another couple of possibilities:

Lok Revenant (40)
Scurrg H-6 Bomber (26), Attanni Mindlink (1), Extra Munitions (2), Harpoon Missiles (4), Twin Laser Turret (6), Greedo (1), Long Range Scanners (0)

Play to stay at range 3, make the opponent want this dead at all costs.

Manaroo (40)
JumpMaster 5000 (27), Attanni Mindlink (1), Punishing One (12)

She's still Manaroo. Rise above the nerf with the best support ship in the game.

I concur. Asajj Ventress with Latts Razzi and either AML or Fearlessness is my favorite 40-point scum ship (probably my favorite scum ship altogether). Given that you want to use AML, that would be my recommended platform.
