I like the sniper/ML option, because it allows you to hold an objective while letting your tougher, harder to kill units move forwards to claim other objectives. For 100 points you have a unit with 3+ cover saves with the ability to deal with big nasties at range.

Well...that's codex anyways. I prefer my SW scouts. In that case, I take a melta and a plasma pistol or two (I know they're expensive, but I like them ). They pop up in your backfield and wreck a tank, forcing you to deal with them lest they take out another. I would NEVER take wolf scouts with sniper rifles.

Gotta run ten scouts 9 with snipers one rocket. Place them on top of an objective in cover on your side of the board and let them sit. They can pin approaching units, kill carnifexs, stop a rhino....scouts shouldnt be doing anything else. IMHO
