Thinking I may dabble with this:

Dace Bonearm (23)

- Autoblaster Turret (2)

Kavil (24)

- Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Syndicate Thug (18)

- Ion Cannon Turret (5)

- BTL-A4 Title (0)

Syndicate Thug (18)

- Ion Cannon Turret (5)

- BTL-A4 Title (0)

Total: 100 points

Kavil is simply a more reliable ion turret, throwing 4 dice at anyone outside of arc. The Thugs offer additional sources of Ion damage and control, while Dace zooms in (as much as a HWK can "zoom") and tries to finish the Ionized target with his autoblaster turret. Whenever the first Ion token is dealt each round, he reaches out with his Ionic Force Powers and deals an extra damage to the target.

Neither Dace or Kavil are much of a threat on their own (if anything, the Thugs are the highest source of damage), which may force some tough choices from the opponent when it comes to deciding who they should actually go after first.

Probably not a super competative list, but could be fun!

Looks fun, but I feel duped with the squad name.

If you swapped Kavil out for a third Warthog you are left with enough points to do one these two things:

1. Put R4 Agromechs on the 3 Warthogs

2. Put Unhinged Astromechs on the 3 Warthogs and upgrade Dace to an Ion Cannon Turret

The first option is going to be an increase in damage and consistency. The second makes your Warthogs zoomier and lets them deal with stress much better and also makes Dace better if he ends up alone.

I read this title as "the iconic Vader" and was so confused why I was looking at a scum list

Looks fun, but I feel duped with the squad name.

Wasn't trying to dupe anyone. Just trying to play of the way Dace seems to work. You think your ship is safe, as it takes a single ion damage, only for him to somehow double it.

I'd fly it!

Though I suppose you could drop Dace for Spacer + HSI + Mangler, then add...Engine + VI on Kavil for a nasty bit of control ship! Haha. I wish I could find better ways to put Dace in lists! I've been squad building similar lists...

Kavil + VI + R4 + Blaster Turret

Thug + Ion Turret + BTL-A4

Thug + Ion Turret + BTL-A4

Spacer + HSI + HLC

100pts

And thanks to the power of the Thugs and 2, 4 dice guns, I would certainly say it has competitive capabilities, so your list is probably not too far off at all!

I would gladly drop the HLC to a Mangler and swap Kavil to a super control ship with engine for end game capabilities.

Kavil + VI + Engine + Ion Turret (34pts)

2 x Thug + Ion + BTL-A4

Spacer + HSI + Mangler

100pts

Or heck! Dace + VI + Ion Turret + Engine(33pts) would be an easy substitute, maybe moving to K4 in place of engine, freeing up 2 pts for something else.

Or better yet....

Dace + VI+ Ion Turret + Engine + K4 Security Droid

2 x Thug + Ion + BTL-A4

Spacer + HSI + Flechette Cannon

100pts

Of course, could drop Engine to add R4 Aggromech to the Thugs. I just like what the engine does for Dace, haha.
