I am starting a Space Marine Army for the first time when the new Codex gets to my hands. I intend on using Scouts to try them out and I wanted to get a feel for what people have used for builds on their Scout Squads that they found to be quite successful.

The more common builds I was thinking of are:


-Squad of 5 with Bolters and a Heavy Bolter
-Squad of 5 with Sniper Rifles
-Squad of 10 with Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon


What other builds are out there that are quite viable and have proven successful in your list?

Any number of snipers.
Heavy bolter with blast.

Master of Forge and a increased cover save + camo cloaks = fun.
