As they'd probably not stay still if an enemy units got close/in charge range?

I think they work alright as a cheap objective holder, but they don't fit into most people's drop pod or mech assault formulas

With the scouts having the sniper rifles, wouldn't the blood rage affect them causing them to move if an enemy unit got close enough, making the rifles useless?

Red Thirst isn't Rage. There is nothing compelling the Scouts to move.

I use a squad of BA sniper scouts and there really good at holding there own I managed to take out a predator with them at one stage lucky fluke but awesome nonetheless they work well for objective holding i use 4 snipers 2 shotguns 3 Bplt pistols and combat knifed and the sergeant just incase the enemy get close
