Actually Ketsu, Talonbane and Guri could be Top Tier competitive squad.

Didn't know it's Black Sun themed. Nice.

? What I came up with off the cuff. Feels off from what it could be. Maybe I could drop 88-D from Ketsu and crack from Talonbane to upgrade Guri to Adv. Sensors, but I really don't like Fearless Ketsu without some form of defensive mod stacking. Maul flat out doesn't fit.

Talonbane Cobra (50)
Crack Shot (1)

Ketsu Onyo (70)
Fearless (3)
IG-88D (3)
Shadow Caster (3)

Guri (64)
Collision Detector (6)
Total: 200

I like collision defector on the vipers.

Sure advanced sensors would be fine, but I like this composition

I hope my new Ketsu build will rock at upcoming European Championship

Maybe you can tell us how it worked out for you.

I'll tell after the Euros Pease let me keep my wonder weapon concealed Even if I'll probably fail miserably, I still think Ketsu is the most powerful piece Scum has in their arsenal now.

I agree, Ketsu is the powerhouse. Sie just tends to melt a little bit too quickly when I fly her, hopefully you do better in this regard.

Wish you best of luck at euros. And I'm curious to see your wonder weapon 😄

Black Sun named pilots are Talonbane Cobra, Prince Xizor, Guri, and Ketsu Onyo, plus any non-limited pilot with "Black Sun" in their name

I'm updating the OP with this info for reference. Will try to remember to keep it updated as more pilots are released.

Maybe something like this, if you wanted to be ion-heavy:

Black Sun Soldier (27)
Ion Missiles (4)
Deadman's Switch (2)

Ship total: 33 Half Points: 17 Threshold: 2

Black Sun Soldier (27)

Time to revisit this thread.

First, I added a big batch of models to my collection, included 2 "black sun" Khiraxes, 6 "black sun" headhunters and 2 "black sun" Vipers, plus the Shadowcaster (standard paintjob). So tons of options to try Black Sun themed squads with the new points.

Just built up this, for starters:

Black Sun Generics

(48) Black Sun Assassin [StarViper-class Attack Platform]
Points: 48

(48) Black Sun Assassin [StarViper-class Attack Platform]
Points: 48

(40) Black Sun Ace [Kihraxz Fighter]
Points: 40

(40) Black Sun Ace [Kihraxz Fighter]
Points: 40

(24) Black Sun Soldier [Z-95-AF4 Headhunter]
Points: 24

Total points: 200

What other "Black Sun squads" would you reccomend?

I was just looking at the new M3A interceptor product page and noticed this: In addition to an M3-A Interceptor ship miniature featuring a striking black and gold Black Sun paint scheme

So, seems they also count as Black Sun ships. I always assumed that the cartel that the " Cartel Spacer" refered to was the Hutts, but maybe it was the Black Sun instead? Anyone knows which of its named pilots are Black Sun members?

According to wookiepedia none of them.

There was a pilot in a firespray that was black sun. Maybe only as a mercenary but worked for them frequently.
