Hi guys

Just wondering, do you think that putting 5 scouts in an ADL, 4 with snipers and one firing the gun is a good idea. Btw I play a death wing DA army, so it doesn't really matter at this stage that they take up elite slots as all my terminators are troops

Thanks

Try allies. Or even tactical marines. These are the better choices.

The scouts are not really that great.

300 points can get you a defense line, a guard HQ squad, a guard Platoon, and have enough points left over for some wargear

Considering that we're talking only 200pts (assuming upgrade to quad gun) then yes it's a great idea if you really need that AA. Getting AA from allies won't be cheaper in points OR in cash.

I'll be giving this a shot, the only difference is I'm playing C:SM and using Telion -- the BS 6, precision shots and 2+ cover for my scouts seems worth it.

I'm with Nick, Telion on the Quad-Gun is nasty, and relatively cheap. If you can't spare the points just make sure to put the Sgt on the gun so you get BS4 instead of BS3
