Ive always wanted to take 4 splinter cannons in a scourge squad, and just jump in behind cover but in range, and riddle them with 16 shots per turn, jumping from cover to cover.

Scourges are a mystery wrapped in an enigma - and the answer is; they suck.

For 160 points you can field five scourges with 4 splinter cannons. You will average 10.6666 hits for 5.3333 wounds versus Orks. you will make a dangerous terrain test every time you move if you're jumping from or to terrain.

Or you can pay 120 for a Ravager with upgrades to all Dissies that is a fast skimmer vehicle with 11 AV.

Your Scourge idea sounds fun, but that's all Scourges are for - fun.

Scourges need move-and-shoot dark lances, and they must be cheaper. Or at least get a 4+ save and the ability to move through cover without making tests.
