Black Sun List using Black Sun painted ships from wave 6

By Englishpete, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I like the whole Black Sun organization and wanted a list that used only Black Sun ships as they came out of the Scum sets.

hence....

Black Sun Syndicate (99)
Prince Xizor StarViper (39)
Veteran Instincts, Virago, Autothrusters, Advanced Sensors, Inertial Dampeners
Black Sun Soldier (15)

I kept it at 99 pts for the initiative bid against other PS9 pilots. Xizor (She-zor) is set up as the arc dodger and will look to run flanks. The Soldiers will run formation for concentrated firepower. Feedback array is not there for suiciding ships willy-nilly, but is a nasty threat to wounded, high value targets.
I know a Firespray is probably better than Xizor, but that breaks theme and I like a challenge. (I am an Interceptor pilot mostly)
Thoughts?

Very cool list that really boosts Xizor. I have a different one with the same ships:

Prince Xizor (Predator, Autothrusters)

Black Sun Soldier (Hot Shot Blaster) x4

100 points

I'd rather get PTL or predator than V.I + Inertial on Xizor

You're paying almost 40 points for that bugger, and imo chucking out mostly unmodified 3 dice attacks is unacceptable at that price range. If you miss the dampeners, proxy the effect using your Zs to bump the advance sensor prince :P

That will be my next test, but PS7 may just not cut it.

depends on the intent

with four feedbacks (not to mention four blockers) cutting down on the effectiveness of high PS, high agility you theoretically shouldn't be overly inconvenienced by PS 7

I myself would be much more comfortable with low PS star-vipers if there was an effective way to get IA into these lists, but feedback seems like the next best thing
