We have to see how the meta shakes out. But as it is, I am extremely hestitant to run Sith without substantial range support. Granted, it all depends on your meta, but the Vong out right scare me. You can pretty much be certain to see a Yammosk, who absolutely loves Bandon's CE. It begins to get quite ugly. I almost want to say forget Bandon, go for Exar FS. Gives some extra damage to a guy, if not a lot, also quite powerful with Naga when not facing the Vong. Also denies the Vong a usable CE, which is key. Vong is still going to be a tough match up, and we haven't seen everything they have yet.
I disagree about bandon. Punching through the extra 10 damage that crab armor gives is important. It means that if you fail 1 save vs a revan assault you lose a jedi hunter which is pretty big. It also means Dash will more then likely kill 1 jedi hunter per round. If you have enough fodder to pulg up passages to your dudes you should be ok with sith vs Vong.
This is also the reason im saying that Naga isnt a really good idea with revan he cant kill a jedi hunter on the move and you pay a ton of points for his force powers that you can't use. That matchup alone makes me shy away from him. If i wanted to run a t1 sith squad with a big beat id run Darth Bane, at least then he can kill 1 of those tough little jokers per round.
The Exar Kun squad has been tossed around a little my Spryguy1981 and me the logic behind it seems solid. I'd say not to run Bandon with that though cause that squad will run through fodder like nobody's buisness lol. That would leave your rein options open for the BG instead of uggies to kill. So I'd pick your second squad here as my favorite, it only has 1 trick up its sleeve but i think it matches up well.
