I'm currently at work looking at Wahapedia, brainstorming new conversion ideas.

I just noticed that Deathwatch Scouts are a thing. Knowing the background of the deathwatch, isn't this a little Unfluffy? I thought a recruit, outside of a Blackshield, were supposed to be at least Tactical Squad or higher. I mean, Space wolves have their Scouts made up of Veterans, so I guess a Space Wolf inducted into the Deathwatch could be in Scout armor, but whole squads are another thing all together.

There is nothing preventing full brothers, or brother-veterans from donning scout carapace armor. When the tactical need requires it. This is normally for sarges assigned to train scouts, but could be any situation.

That said, it’s not often done by normal squads for a bunch of reasons like honor, tradition, and the fact the power armor suits the role of a space marine so much better.

In the primaris era, you would be more likely to see a vet squad in phobos armor. But if you are going old school, carapace could happen. Just very, very unlikely.

Good point. Thanks for the help.
