Black Sun Ace+Predator+Cluster Missile+Glitterstim (32) x2

I think this squad would get ripped apart by Soontir, but could track down most other threats in the meta and crush any fat turrets it can get it's hand on. Thoughts?
32 points is A steep asking cost for an Xwing
Yeah. Might getting too excessive with Clusters and Glitterstim. If you can get both of those off though, you can really lay down some hate. Near TL + Focus on 4, 3 dice attack in a round will annihilate most things. Looks like a fun list to fly though.

Well when you put it like that maybe just having Talonbane with the loadout along with a more rounded list would be a better idea. Back the the drawing board...

I've actually thought of something similar, but the blacksun aces are a lot of points for what you get.
Also, the Tansarii pt Vet w/ title, HLC, predator & hull is also 32 pts and just plain better. It only really struggles against YT's and decimators (so in most metas,, that's a bad thing).
I'm thinking the best way to run a blacksun ace is with crack shot. Maybe glitterstim if you're running only 1 and have points to spare.
For missiles Khiraxz, perhaps the marauder w/ glitterstim is a better platform (because cheaper). Either clusters, concusion or even homing missiles would not be bad on them (if you can pick up the target locks....that's always the conundrum). Perhaps Serissu w/ squad leader would help with that (at least against anything less than PS8/9)
