Bumping since it took a while to get the post approved and this got buried 5 pages back...

I think its solid. You can always go unhinged and throw Dampeners on the BSA's as well. That way you have quite a bit more maneuvering options. I like Unhinged on the scum Ys as it allows you to generate some space for that TLT. You will lose damage dropping the R4, but you are less predictable.

It's a bit lower damage output vs TLT, but the control is awesome!

I prefer my TLT thugs w/ R4 + engine. But its 30 points and not many are willing to spend that. I think R4 alone is alright, but you will get enemies into R1. I don't think unhinged is enough to counter that, personally, so I would just leave your list as is and see how it goes. Perhaps with the Khiraxz there, you can punish anyone trying to get in close to the y-wings with crack shot...
