Dengar is early damage dealer and aims to trade with something early. Bossk punches in supporting Dengar kamakazi frontal assault. Fenn mops up whats left.

Dengars terrible dial isn't as bad here as he isn't expected to live long enough for it to be a problem. As long as he kills something of similar points value he's done his job.

Bossk could be switched out for Old Teroch/Predator (58pts) leaving 7pts to buff out Dengar a bit more but as he is the sacrificial lamb in this squad I'm not sure thats a good use of points. I need to test the Bossk version. Will report back here when I have.

Keeping Fenn out of the fight/out of danger and limiting shots on him to one per round is going to be important. His role is as the finisher. He might be the last ship left i have on the table but if Dengar and Bossk have done reasonable damage then he can claim the glory of finishing off enemy ships.

Going to give this squad a go tomorrow night at LGS. interested to so how hard Bossk hits with Greedo Crew.

Fenn is the one I'm most worried about not pulling his weight. He hits like a noodle and blanks out too often for my taste

Best of luck. Too bad you can't squirrel Lando Crew onto Bossk without neutering Dengar. Being able to swap a Reinforce token to mod Bossk's attack with Lando can boost Bossk's tankiness. Give's Greedo something nice to build off of too. Maybe something to consider for your next build that doesn't involve getting mileage out of Dengar.

this variant replaces Fenn with a well modded Talonbane. Similar potential dmg output and less points investment. allows points for Lando crew on Bossk

Thoughts?

Looks like fun though it removes the I6 activation order control you had with Fenn Rau in the first list. I think I might give that Talonbane loadout a run. Being able to boost off a Tallon or K into Pred and the 7th hp should help a bit when w/n range 1-2. Maybe give both a go and see which one works best for ya?

Battle Report.

I played two games with this squad tonight and went 2-0. Faced 2x Kimogila + Fenn squad. Was similar concept to my own list, 2x tanks and Fenn as finisher. Dengar killed his Fenn with a double tap attack at first engagement and it was downhill from there. Next game I played vs Emon and Guri. Guri was sub par version, shield upgrade and title but no advanced sensors. Similar to match one I took out one ship early, in this case Emon. All 3 of my ships got range one shots on Emon on turn 3 before he could drop a bomb. Fenn hit, then Dengar and then Bossk dealt 5 damage to finish Emon off.

My dice were hot both games so hard to judge how effective the squad is but it did what it was meant to do. Game 1 Dengar was on one hull at the end but I didn't lose a ship in either game. Game 2 Guri/Emon player conceded as I was converging on Guri and trap her in one corner... Bossk blocked Guri and Dengar + Fenn were positioning for shots.

Summary: This squad is brutal if you take it on headon or it can focus its firepower on one ship, even a full health fire spray can melt quickly.

Swarm tactics on Dengar and take preditor off Fenn. This gives you 3 I6 shots and lets Bossk shoot first and use greedo everytime without the negative effects. I get the impression you are flying with space between your ships however so it might not be that great for your chosen stratergy.
