Im currently toying around in making a new SM chapter, that due to its history have 50% of its forces only wearing Scout armor. However i dont seem to find any rules that implement complete veteran scout squads (only veteran squad leaders).

Do any of you guys and girls know of any rules regarding that?

There aren't. veteran scouts are called space marines

And if the chapter lacks the SM suits? wouldn't they then use scout suits but still be veterans?

Ahh well i guess that i could just use standard scouts, just dress them up to look "veteran"

you could just have 4 scout squads as troops and let the HQ have power armour but thats the only way

True, i was thinking in the line that 50% of all spend points has to be scout based (which i know would give them quite a difficult time) but it would fit into my idea.

So HQ as SM and a few vet troops as elite in SM the rest.. scouts.

Space Wolf scouts are Veterans.

For godsakes man use Black Templars they were meant for this lol and just change the fluff.

Actually i was thinking of making them a sub chapter of the Black Templars (love their crusading army style), but more siege and city fighting based and vastly depleted (due to a constant guerrilla warfare against Alpha legion cultists).

So i thought of converting many of the scouts and use IG elements in them (to give the vet and independent look of each).

But i think i will take a look at the Space wolves and see how that codex deals with vet scouts.

"EDIT" ahhh cool so Space Wolves just add 1 to WS and BS for a add cost of 2 points per troop and call them vets. nice and easy solution.

But SW scouts lose scoring ability, one of the best things about them.

He could use a few squads of grey hunters as vets. but have the core be mostly scouts
