Scouts are usually known for holding an objective in the backfield, but with Baal Predators having scout, is it viable to put a minimal scout squad in a razorback to do a suicide tactic/last turn contesting?

What does Baal Predators have to do with a Razor/Scout combo?

Can you elaborate a little more for me?

Basically, a Baal Predator along with a razorback or two with assault cannons or flamestorms/heavy flamers would be a flanking force. I don't know if that answers your question there.

Ah.

The problem with trying to have a last-turn, outlfanking unit is the actual outflanking rules. Depending on your reserve rolls, you could end up on the table turn two through five, which in all likely hood, you'd probably show up turn three the majority of the time.

But as a suicide tactic? It's a little expensive to throw away a Razorback and a Baal Predator at the same time.

They'd be better as an Alpha Strike/Supporting attack; helping the rest of your army march up the field.

I suppose so. I was just asking to see if there was a way to use scouts besides backfield/tarpits without a vehicle.

Scouts cannot take dedicated transports. They can use a transport if it's empty after deployment but you cannot puts scouts in a rhino-chassis with the intent to Scout-move.

Scout can outflank a Stormraven though if you are into that .

Nah, Scratch that. Nope. Not possible.
