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.

HQ:
Chaplain:
Bolt Pistol, Frag Grenades
...72pts

Troops:
6 Scouts:
1 with Missile Launcher
...98pts

6 Scouts:
1 with Heavy Bolter
...93pts

6 Scouts:

6 Scouts:

...93pts

6 Scouts:

...98pts

6 Scouts:
1 with Heavy Bolter
...93pts

Fast Attack:
1 Land Speeder Tornado:
Heavy Bolter, Assault Cannon
...85pts

1 Land Speeder Tornado:
Heavy Bolter, Assault Cannon
...85pts

1 Land Speeder:
Multi Melta
...65pts

Heavy Support:

Vindicator:
...120pts

Total...1000pts

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.

So what do you guys think?

Thanx in advance

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.

Here are some tips:

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.

Hope that helps.... :lol:

How about a whirlwind, that fits in with the scout theme better than a vindicator and will kill swarms quite nicely.
No it doesn't. Tanks don't belong in a scout army. We're talking light and mobile, low profile stuff. Not tanks!
