I'm fielding a scout heavy force.

Is it worth taking Teluon in a squad of 5 sniper scouts with a ML or better to take 10 snipers with ML?
I'm liking the idea of 8 sniper shoots and a BS 6 ML shot.

Taking Telion with a large squad and a ML can be useful. I prefer to use his own shooting attacks, because you can allocate wounds instead of you opponent.
When you really need to take a vehicle or tightly packed squad down you could use a BS 6 missile, but I normally don't use it.

It is quite rare that Telion's bolter does not have a good target which is worth trying to take out. Marines have to wait until cc to take out IC however they are pretty bad at it, else taking a powerfist/klaw/ML/painboy/apoth/whatever out of a unit usually destroys the usefulness of said unit.

9 scouts to keep Telion alive or to mess with cover is great. Also they are quite cheap addition, maybe not as killy as the landspeeder for the same sort of points but can survive longer with their stealth.
