*damn*.
I'm going to a rather large local gaming store today, i hope they have the white dwarf set -- or is that catalog order only? i did see that u can buy two sniper scouts for 8 dollars...
we'll see.
do that, the old-school scouts will be gone soon, and those cloaks are wicked.
And they won't be catalogue-order soon, very soon we humble aussies will be getting a Forgeworld-esque Venerable Dreadnaught from White Dwarf. (am so going to buy).
Sorry, MalSeraph. Only recently was the jet chap even there.
Buy a Rocket Launcher with a Tac sqaud or the soon-to-be-released Sniper scout sqaud.
Otherwise just find a blister pack of a missile launcher Marine.
Also, you got any SM vehicles? they all come with the Hunter-killer missile. Mod that a bit with some Boltgun frame to hold it.
If you want 4 sniper scouts and a missile, I would suggest waiting for the sniper scout box to come out. It shouldn't be too far off and it come with exactly that and some bits if I'm not mistaken.
That or you can purchase the old scouts in auction at the stores as they retire them. You can usually get a damn good price for them.
thats what i did.
I bought an assault squad, a chaplain (since the jetpack chaplain isnt on sale yet) and 10 extra jetpacks (one for chaplain, 9 for... i dont know ).
only six units, but i suppose you have to start somewhrere
Looks like you have some questions about what comes in the box sets so I did not know if you knew that you could view the "bits" out of a box set by clicking on the little red wrench head on the GW order pages... like this page...
If your going to go with 4 snipers and a heavy weapon I'd recomend the Heavy bolter vice the Missle Launcher. It supports the anti troop mission much better. Plus the range complements the sniper rifle much better.
For my Scout sniper squad I use 4 snipers, 1 HB, and 5 bolter scouts. Sit and shoot from cover with possible pinning each round. So far works real well at a great cost points wise.
