I've seen the new Scout with Missile launcher and its has re-inspired me too take on my scout army project.
I've also wanted to include quite a few land speeders for a while. I'll be planing this with the new Ed. rules in mind.

What do you think, I know that the Vindicator doesn't fit the theme, but I needed something hard hitting that would attract the attention away from the speeders.
Guy, a scout army is all about theme, not about game strength. Dump the vindicator.
If you want to find something to soak up fire and distract the enemy, get some scout bikes or more landspeeders. Better yet, fill out a couple of your Scout Squads--especially any CC oriented ones.
I agree with getting rid of the Vindicator. Stick with a scout theme. Land Speeder Typhoons would be good. Increase the number of scouts in your units especially for larger games. Sniper rifles are good too.
Give one squad (7 scouts + sgt) with bolters and an Autocannon, another squad (7 scouts + sgt) with shotguns and a ML, and at least one squad (6 scouts + sgt) with sniper rifles and a HB.
Take at least one full squad with BP and CCW for the Chaplain to join, and upgrade their Vet Sgt with BP, Power Weapon and Melta Bombs.
A Whirlwind or a Typhoon would fit the theme nicely.
Also Scout bikers can be cool but eat into your FA slots.
For list number two combine the two tornado speeders and give them hvy bolters and autocannon's. The have two seperate multi-melta guys running around instead. As for the extra points in list two I would agree the whirlwind is probally the best addition.
I've got a blood angels scout army that I dredge up occasionally for kicks. It's a lot of fun, even though I can only take one heavy weapon in the troops. Good luck and post some battle reports.

if we are talking lite and mobile then squad after squad of heavy weapons and sniper rifles dont fit then either...
