Scouting Ahead

Posted by Ranillon on 9. November 2008 21:22

Despite flurtations with Exodites the army I am actually trying to finish currently is regular Space Marines.  I already have a complete Deathwing, but with the release of the new SM Codex it has (IMHO) been thoroughly outclassed.  Therefore, I've been trying to develop a more well rounded force.  This is just one part of that -- a completed Troops choice, namely a squad of scouts.

I like the idea of Scouts with shotguns -- two S4 shots after which you can assault.  Give the squad leader a power fist and you have a pretty effective, yet pretty cheap hand-to-hand unit that can inflitrate and scout.  Even better would be another five guys with shotguns, so I figure I'll expand the squad eventually.

    They're looking good. I've always liked the 2 shot-shotguns with the manstopper rounds.

    What do you mean your Deathwing is outclassed now? You make it sound like the new Space Marine Codex is the standard and that we don't have any goodies for ourselves that Vanilla Marines can't get a better version of. I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.

    Ron -- After thinking about this I don't think I can explain what I mean in anything less than a full blog entry, so expect one in a bit.
