Is Kylo AND Blackout crazy?

By TheNumberZed, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Test (100)

•Test Pilot "Blackout" (34) - TIE Silencer
Trick Shot (0), Collision Detector (0), Primed Thrusters (1), Autothrusters (2)

Nu Squadron Veteran (22) - Alpha-class Star Wing
Harpoon Missiles (4), Long-Range Scanners (0)

•Kylo Ren (44) - TIE Silencer
Push The Limit (3), Advanced Sensors (3), Primed Thrusters (1), Autothrusters (2)

Is there any potential here?? The Silencer is exactly what I love about this game. Blackout is especially fun going tallon rolling behind asteroids and such. Is this enought points on the Nu or should I shave down Kylo?

Interested to hear you opinions.

The Nu squadron is 26 points - 26 points in a first order list makes me think Omega Leader, especially if you've got two fragile-but-expensive aces and want to draw some aggro off them.

I don't see why it shouldn't work. Blackout is pretty tough behind obstructed shots at medium-to-long range.

Nu = 18 points. +4 for the harpoon. Therefore 22 points total. Not bad math huh? (considering I daydreamed my way through grade school)

I would make the Nu Squadron better. Maybe OS title.

I would consider dropping the Nu down to some sort of TIE, maybe Howlrunner or Epsilon Ace, though there are many choices. I'd just like to see the title on one of those Silencers.
