LutherMax Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Nope. CCW ≠ power weapon Who said it was? I think he was answering the original question, though it had been answered several times already in different ways :D I have some half painted snipers that I'll be finishing, and I will now add some CC / shotgun scouts (maybe even some bikers) to my never ending paint queue. They may even jump over the half painted tacticals in said queue...

Xenith Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I fully recommend those scout bikers- their grenade launchers just became bs4! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323637-how-do-we-feel-about-scouts-now/page/2/#findComment-4436248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I've seen a 10 man scout sniper squad wreck some damage on infantry before, especially tactical squads. Our scouts on the charge are very tough too! This makes me happy because I had 2 squads of 10 each on hand with my previous army, Crimson Fists. I'm probably going to do the same thing with my Blood Angels, now.

Thoridon Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm certainly planning some CC Scouts now to make use of Furious Charge. I like Tacticals but shooting bolters wastes the charge and charging wastes the bolters, so I may well have a large number of my Tacticals become Imperial Fists for the shooting role and replace them with CC Scouts for BA charging goodness.

Riot Earp Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Happened as i unloaded 30 tacticals form the Angels Fury Formation in front of 6 wraiths to charge them out of the stormraven. Guess what i did in the shooting face.

Blood & Thunder Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think adding a chaplain to a scout squad would be a fantastic boon with the rerolls to hit.

Blood & Thunder Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I guess, but then you can't infiltrate them. You could put them in a storm raven for later game sweeping of corse there is the risk of the raven coming in late. Otherwise it could be a defensive charge unit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323637-how-do-we-feel-about-scouts-now/page/2/#findComment-4440836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I like the idea of infiltrating/scouting scouts woth combi weapon. You can threat some units first turn with grav weapons. It is also funny to outflank them with some special weapon and suprise the opponent.

Riot Earp Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I did the switcheroo in one game where i had sm allies. Took SM Sniper (bc of the bf4 back in the days) and let the cc scouts embark behind an LOSB. They fought against 3 Necron bikes and against one single wraith. They won the fight!

CaptainHelion Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The ol' switcheroo isn't a bad idea, come to think on it. If you're planning on bringing SM allies anyway, why not!

appiah4 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 5 Boltgun/Sniper scouts with camo cloaks and a Missile Launcher infiltrating behind enemy lines is now a seriously troublesome pain in the ass against infrantry and transports alike.

Riot Earp Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 @ Charlo I placed the CC Scouts nearby the storm and let them embar turn one. Placed them behind a wall so that they did not got shoot if my opponent got first turn.
