Scum All Stars

By LegionThree, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, regionals are on the way and almost here, no idea what to take since Ive been out of it for a bit. So I figured it was a good time to go back to what I'm comfortable with and whats carried me in the past. So, I went in and saw a party bus, toss dengar on there and you have a cheap high HP bruiser. Then I needed a control piece, well naturally the severely under costed JM5K came to mind. So I put a rigged cargo chute, Adaptability and Intel Agent on and called that one complete. Then I needed an end game piece, something that could maneuver and put out the damage late game. Only one really obvious choice for this category, the man whos currently tearing up the meta... Nym, but Scum Nym... Best Nym!

So heres the list that I came up with to try and survive the brutal conditions (<<<See what I did there...) out there.

So, your bumpmaster is a bumpmaster: tried and true, reliable, but not overpowered.

I like your trim Nym. If I wanted to build him on a budget, thats how I'd do it! Except maybe not LRS. Especially with ABT, you'll be at close range a lot, and you might want to take a TL.

Now the bus. I think here is where some work could be done. Dengar is, of course, always a good choice. The other 2 I am unconvinced by. They limit an already limited ship too much. I could see Outlaw Tech being a good choice, to ensure full mods. Then, Maneuvering Fins to give you some hope of keeping arc.

I really want to change the bus. Mostly because I really want to add an ion cannon onto it but I cant relaly figure out where to get the points from.

Those two crew are really just to help me beat up on 3 agility ships, since I feel high PS imp aces will be praying on the Nym/Myranda sets.
