thinking of this sqd. seems solid enough. nom gives u a nice blocker to allowe fangs to ge into flanking/range1 position.

thoughts?

Seems like a thoroughly reasonable list. I don't have enough Nom Lumb experience to know if he really needs Autoblasters (he should almost always have something he can shoot), and a little bit of bid wouldn't be terrible. I'm sure it's decent enough either way.

Overall, it should turn on how well you fly with Fangs.

agree, i havent flown nom yet but i need to give this list a go b4 i discard the idea. i think it could be annoying to play against.

My first attempt at a similar list was three skulls with Fearless, and Nom with an ion cannon and Dengar gunner.

I don't know that it'd be any better than yours, though, just a little different.

And possibly not quite as good against I5 and I6.

I haven't tried your version yet, but it's in my (way too long) list of builds. Here is the variant I tried:

- Nom Lumb (Ion Cannon, Dengar)
- Zealous Recruit
- Zealous Recruit
- Fenn Rau
200 points

I really liked it and Nom was very annoying for the opponent. Fenn without Fearless can be underwhelming though. Dengar Gunner is made for Nom's ability, but the threat of Ion (and the front arc being active at all ranges) is also quite real, so I was considering dropping Dengar on Nom and adding Fearless on Fenn, for a total of 197 points.

Lol...

I don't know that I'd say Fenn is underwhelming without Fearless.

More that he's just not quite as overwhelming without it. ;)

hehe Yeah... I just haven't had THAT much luck with Fang Fighters overall so far. It can be "all or nothing" it seems. Still, I really like the ship.
