I'm not sure I see the tactical advantage of taking the 10th company formation. Granted, it would allow you to take a combination of tactical squads in a Cad and then add the scouts from the formation, but if you wanted a primarily scout army, wouldn't taking the CAD be better since they would all be Obsec????

It really depends on what you think is more advantageous, the formations benefits or ObSec. I, personally, think ObSec is better.

The freedom to take Telion, six squads of Scouts in Land Speeder Storms, and three squads of Scout bikers is an added bonus. Though I just noticed it is impossible to field the 10th Company, since you can only get nine squads of Scouts on the field at any time. Makes sense as they wouldn't want to exhaust all of their newer recruits.

FA is a crowded slot. If you want some scout bikers and their locator beacons you can fit them in the formation for a little cluster mine tax.
