combat squads

[falcon_cup]

can i combat squad a unit of scouts and put one of those combat squads into a speeder storm any advice would be greatly appreciated

[Turel]

So long as the squad numbers 10 men, you can indeed split it into combat squads and have one squad take the storm.

 

Remember that the storm isn't a dedicated transport though, but a fast option. Both combat squads could thus take a storm unlike regular transports which only allow one per unit.

P.S. Requesting ad moveo to rules discussion.

Turel's hit it on the head. Indeed, you could do the same if you wanted to combat squad a 10-man squad of Marines with a Razorback. 5 could ride inside it and the other 5 could deploy on the ground.

You could take the Serge and 4 scouts and gear them towards close combat and then mount them in the Landspeeder storm while the other 5 are armed with snipers and a heavy weapon geared for long range. Who needs tactical marines

just remember that they will not be able to come in from reserves embarked in the transport if you want them to combat squad

Yeah this, if you have room in troops you'd be better off taking 2x5 scouts (assuming you want ten) and paying the points for the extra sergeant. It's well worth paying those points to retain the option of coming in off reserves.
