First: I don't really know what to use for my HQ, but would the Veil of Time be useful?

I haven't actually used it in a game yet, but on paper it seems like it would work well and I plan on trying it out in my next battle.

Third: If I keep the Scouts, should I give Terminator Honours to the Seargant? If so, what weaponry and equipment?
|
I usually use my sergeant the same way you have set yours up. (with Terminator Honours and powerfist.

Fourth: I believe I can basically add assault squads to this setup up into the 1100+ range, after which, if I still feel like expanding, I can take Shrike and his posse. What are your thoughts on them?

Personally, I like Assault Squads and plan to get some to expand my space marine force.

Hmm. You could consider giving him jump packs and going with one of the Assault Squads, but its your choice. Also, you could add in a Bolt Pistol for a cheap cost.

On my scouts, I like to have sniper rifles + heavy/special weapon + sergeant like the one you have. That way they can infiltrate forward, and with the sniper rifles maybe pin some units and do some damage with the heavy/special weapon(s). Then, if they get into combat the Sergeant can do some damage with the Powerfist.

I think taking less squads of 8 would be more efficiant then taking more squads of 5, simply because they would have more staying power, and would break less often. Also, they would be able to take some casulties and still be effective in combat, where as if you take 3 casulties in a squad of 5 they won't be that great in combat because they'd only have 2 marines left.
Note: I'm relativley new to Space Mariners, therefore I don't have much game experience with them so my advice may not be 100% correct.
Anyway, goodluck and enjoy your new space marine force!
Cheers!
