The thought popped into my head that maybe Darth Nihilus would be a good character to use with Revan, so I came up with this squad off the top of my head. (And yes, I'm one of those who keeps trying to think of a good way to use Nihilus).

Darth Revan - 88
Darth Nihilus - 44
Lobot - 27
Zuckuss - 22
Jawa x2 - 10
Ugnaught Demolitionist x3 = 9

9 Activations + Reinforcements 200 points.

I like the thought of Zuckuss with Revan. That gives you two characters with Intuition, plus he has Accurate Shot. Nihilus takes advantage of Revan's CE to get into position to use whichever of his Force Powers works for the situation (Sith Hatred if faced with scrubs), and then gets out of the way. Lobot for customization. Jawas are anti droid fillers.

This looks like a possiblity for a future GVL squad (If Revan isn't banned). Fun, but probably not top-tier. I don't think there is such a thing as a top-tier squad with Nihilus in it.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I'd love to see Nihilus as top tier at some point. He might even be one with all the Force Heavy characters in TFU. I think using Revan's CE will be the key to making him at least somewhat playable. He's already very nice against JWMs, he just dies too quickly once they start clashing lightsabers. Revan, backed up by Nihilus would be a nightmare for JWMs.

I think you've got a decent start here. Zuckuss could acutally use Revan's CE AND Intuition to move 12 squares at the beginning of the round!
