Guri is okay, but her low damage (unless she doesn't move and can get off cunning attack) and Melee status limit her usefulness, and without Xizor, can't even use her bodyguard. Your only ranged figures are Boba and the Spys, and thus the only figures Spotter can be used with. And to get the Spotter, you have to be within 6 of the target and give up the range attack of the Aqualish. So, I am seeing a max of 40 NonMelee Damage a turn. Sure, the Zabrak has some range (6") but is better suited to crowd control or setting off Nom bombs. The 2 bodyguards will help keep these fragile figures alive, but not for long. And watch out for opposing Zabrak Fringers or sweepers, as they can target the Bodyguard and the body they are guarding. I see this squad being ripped apart by Shooters or any squad that has a high HP/Damage hitters. If I might suggest, check out some of the squads on http://www.swshoebox.com/ . Find ones that you like and then mod them from there.

The mix between SBD & BD is a matter of personal choice (and some prefer a Security Battle Droid to 2 BDs). However, you are missing a BDO (Battle Droid Officer). It has Fire Control (Non-Unique Droid allies gain +4 attack) which has no range limitation and stacks with GG,SC's Commander Effect. For 9 points, I consider it essential for nearly every droid squad. To put the BDO in, you would probably be best served to drop the Iktotchi. While Repair 10 is nice, in most cases the droids will drop before they can be repaired. On the bright side you would then be able to upgrade a BD to a SBD. -General Greivous, Supreme Commander 43 -Super Battle Droid x4 40 -Battle Droid x2 8 -Battle Droid Officer 9 Points: 100

From the list above, i'd exchange 1 SBD for 2 more battle droids. Apart from that it's what i'd grab.
