First List using Boba

[kempokid 868]

I'm not a scum/Imperial player, but I've been trying to get more well-rounded. Is this a viable list?

100 Total

Boba Fett (45) - Firespray-31 (scum version)
Expertise (4), Tail Gunner (2)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

"Duchess" (29) - TIE Striker
Expertise (4), Adaptive Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Unless you're playing casually and your opponent agrees, you can't take Scum Boba in an Imperial List.

Unfortunately you can't mix the faction pilots. 

So for your build you have to swap the boba for the imperial one.  His ability is less than stellar too...

Mostly for casual play with some friends. I don't think they would care. We've always played where you have scum with rebel or scum with imperial, but no rebel with imperial.

Would it be better to sub out the imperials for scum ships or sub to the imperial Boba?

As an aside, I'm very limited with Scum. Only have Most Wanted and M3A Interceptor (but I can use the stuff for Slave, Y-Wings and HWK that come with Most Wanted).

As someone who has tried desperately to make their imperial firespray more than a dust collector, Boba is just not worth the points in an imperial list. 

I love the scum ability, just never get to use it myself since I have yet to spend on many scum ships. 

If they don't mind scum joining a different faction, (maybe that faction paid a lot for a bounty hunter for a special mission?), I say fly casual with it and have fun!

Yeah, that's how I've always looked at the scum faction. They'll fly along with anyone if the money is right...

I have doubts using the list now, just because maybe not everyone would be cool with the mixed faction. I'll have to come up with a full Scum Boba list, and maybe see if there's a way to make Imperial Boba competitive, or at the very least, fun.

I am no pro scum player by any means.

But this looks fun based on you having most wanted. Not sure if you have all the parts, but you can mix and match on them. 

Y-Wing: · Kavil (24)
     Plasma Torpedoes (3)
     Extra Munitions (2)
     Dorsal Turret (3)
     Unhinged Astromech (1)
Firespray-31: · Boba Fett (39)
     Fearlessness (1)
     Tail Gunner (2)
     Glitterstim (2)
Z-95 Headhunter: · N'dru Suhlak (17)
     · Lone Wolf (2)
     Cluster Missiles (4)
     Guidance Chips (0)
-- TOTAL ------- 100p. --

Suhlak has a fun ability, just keep him from the others and he pack a wallop. Two 4 dice clusters with chips and a reroll from lone wolf is gonna be fun. Hopefully it all lands otherwise he will go up in smoke in a hurry when the other side sees what you're about to do.
