Troll squadron Scum Extended

By BoskiChe, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was really hooked by hyperspace list building. However while looking at Firespray options I found an interesting idea.

3Trolls

(71) Koshka Frost [Firespray-class Patrol Craft]
Points: 71

(49) 4-LOM [G-1A Starfighter]
(10) Advanced Sensors
Points: 59

(40) Palob Godalhi [HWK-290 Light Freighter]
Points: 40

(30) Captain Seevor [Modified TIE/ln Fighter]
Points: 30

Total points: 200

Basic design. All I3 ships for flexibility. The name of the game is trolling and opportunism. I'm very light on upgrades. Only sensors on 4LOM.

List overview. Koshka is a generic Firespray with I3 and stress gimmick. 4 LOM and Palob are old staples. They still have plenty to offer. Seevor benefits from Initiative 3 across the board as his ability will have a chance to directly support others. I don't know if the list has enough punch, but it really can be annoying for token stackers.

I've been messing about with similar idea.

Seevor

Palob + Moldy Crow + Engine Upgrade

4-LOM + 000

Old Teroch

I called it "Don't lose your Focus"

I think Koshka and 4-lom pair nicely.

And matching all at I3 is smart, but I'd rather keep old Terry and use the spare points to boot Palob up a bit, and help his ability trigger more easily.

I like Your list. I am not a fan of Palos with Moldy Crow, it is really expensive for 2 ability ship with 5 HP. I prefer beefier ships:)

I will give it a go.

BTW How 4LOM operates without sensors? Is it worth it? If so it would give me 10 points to play with:)

Advanced sensors certainly makes 4-lom alot better, more flexible, etcetera but I think the Misthunter the title makes advanced sensors much better in 4lom and there isn't the room for it.

I find I can still use him without Adv. sensors and I wanted to get a third attack die on Palob, as well as expanding palobs firing arcs.l, as they will deny my opponents mods.

I like the idea, but I think I'd like Torkil even more than Palob

Go for it. There is something so satisfying about using Palob to steal and use tokens. But, if he don't use them he lose them, and with a double focus stack from the Moldy Crow and wealth of other token deprivation abilities perhaps it would be more useful to take Torkil. And free up 2 points.

I might give this a go 👌

Initially I had Torkil, but went with Palos due to I3. Having thought about it being dogmatic about the same initiatives is not as important here.

It does boost Seevor effect having as many at I3 or less though.

Definitely. The only downside is that Torkil always activates before the rest of list, but it is a minor inconvenience. Overall I see a better value of having Torkil than having Palob in this list. Heck I have 2 points left. That is a Mist Hunter title plus Jamming Beam on 4LOM :)

Here is my idea on this.

New scum feel

(49) 4-LOM [G-1A Starfighter] (3) Elusive (5) 0-0-0 (2) Mist Hunter Points: 59

(30) Captain Seevor [Modified TIE/ln Fighter] Points: 30

(40) Palob Godalhi [HWK-290 Light Freighter] (18) Moldy Crow (2) Engine Upgrade Points: 60

(45) Zuckuss [G-1A Starfighter] (3) Elusive Points: 48 Total points: 197

Went away from a firespray platform. I have always like Elusive on the G1-A, it will recharge easily. Targets of opportunity is the idea of the list. Engine upgrade is a possible remove. Was thinking of adding IG88D to 4lom and move 0-0-0 to Zuckuss.

I like the Idea of using Zuckuss. He goes well with all sheningans going here a bit better than 4LOM. This makes me thinking about my list that he can offer something else:) I will go to drawing board and let's see what can be achieved.

Your list however I general is OK. Flying one G1A is tough but two? These are not flexible platforms. You need to fly very well, as most of the time You will be stressed with no easy out. Firespray is a great platform with loads of flexibility, Your version lacks it, but have greater firepower and more HP.
