Either way will it be easy to convert them with bolters and shotguns?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/907573.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/907573.page GMT Replacment for scouts?

I agree, the back of the armor looks kinda odd, but i mean, other than their backs, whats not to like about them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/908436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/908436.page GMT Replacment for scouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/908480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/908480.page GMT Replacment for scouts? SM bits added here and there. Just to make the distinction easier.

As for the fluff. They must have changed that part of the fluff about scounts not having all the enhancements. In 3rd ed I'm pretty sure they were said to be actually more seasoned warriors then the marines in tactical squads, but not skilled enough to make them elite veterans. That is the reason "they" used to explain why they cold infiltrate and do scouty stuff.

The only chapter fluff I have seen that actually stated that their warriors in scout armor weren't on par with a full battle brother was the black templar with their neophytes. And that goes back to Armageddon.

As for the respirator issue. I remember an old scenario that took place on a space hulk (orks vs BT). Every infantry model was assumed to have a respirator even if it wasn't modeled and they all suffered -1 to their armor for the off chance of a round hitting their air supply or ruining their mask. If you wanted to get crazy you could green stuff a mask on to every one. Or you could get Kasyrkin (sp?) I think they look much better then the Storm Troopers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/908669.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/908669.page GMT Replacment for scouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/909245.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/909245.page GMT Replacment for scouts?

Hope that link works, if not just look em up on the GW site. They came out for the EoT campaign and apparently GW still offers them.

Nope, apart from a few chapter variations, scouts are and have always been undercooked marines. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/910694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/910694.page GMT Replacment for scouts? You can always tell your opponent prior to a game that "these guys? They're scouts."

My only concern with using Stormtroopers is that an opponent might think you were using Inquisition S'troopers from one of the =I= codices. By converting them up a little more (some folks here have mentioned lengthening the barrels, which is an excellent idea, as is adding scopes) you should be able to make it clear that they're Marines.

You may also want to putty on some cloaks. That'll help hide the more Guard-y backpacks as well as better matching peoples' impressions of scouts.

As far as pointing out additional alternatives, what I did for some scouts is to take regular Marine torsos and arms (no shoulder pads!!) and stick them on Catachan legs with unhelmeted heads. Then I used plastic rod to extend the barrels of either the bolters or lasguns, and added scopes to the guns. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/910714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252458/910714.page GMT Replacment for scouts?
