OK, so our venue is doing 150 points this week, and this is the first time we've played 150 since TFU came out (been playing 200 or larger, lol). I was running through the various things I might play, but got hung up on what would make a good post-TFU Nom Bomb squad.
Before TFU, Nom Bomb's with Boba Enforcer was my favorite. Now, with the MTB and Boba Merc, I'm trying to decide which is the best build. I'm pretty sure I don't want to leave out Boba altogether, because then I'm worried about Disruptive. So here's the two ideas I'm looking at:
Fett Merc Nom Anor Lobot AA x3 Adv Scout Gran Raider Reinforcements: MTB, Gran x3
12 Activations total
Fett Enforcer Nom Anor Lobot AA x4 Adv Scout x3 Caamasi (free gambit, lol) Reinforcements: MTB, Gran x3
15 Activations Total
Which is better? Boba Merc's damage output is incredible, and he should be able to wipe out any Disruptive pieces without too much effort. However, it means 3 less activations, and only 12 activations is pretty darn light for a Nom Bomb squad, at least in my experience. Using Merc would give me 9 rounds of MTB engine (if I'm willing to sacrifice Lobot at some point). Sure, that adds up to 180 damage total, but one of the things I've learned about Nom Bombs, is that you don't build the squad purely for blowing up.
So.....do I need more activations? More bombs? Is trying to squeeze in Merc hurting me too badly? Should I just stick with Enforcer and the MTB/SD20 engine?
