As the title implies i'm looking to create a command squad for my 10th company (scout company). I was thinking of getting some scout bits and building four bolter scouts to accompany the Master of the Recruits. I was thinking of painting one in primarily white and modelling to look like a medic since one has to be an Apothecary. I'm not certain whether or not it's staying with the fluff (I haven't read enough books to really know). Also, what would the feasability be of using them since per 5ed Codex a command squad is in power armor? Any input would be appreciated. If it just can't be done and be tournament legal then i'm not gonna sweat it. I'm simply looking to beef up and fill out my custom chapter for Apoc games.

Thanks

The command squad of the 10th company is usually made up of veterans whose talents lie in teaching the scouts about the Chapter, Tactics, etc. A six man squad of power armored Marines isn't going to make much of a difference in the grand scheme if all your troops choices are scouts!

But, as an aside, I can see a command squad made up of those same veterans (Veteran Sergeant Stat Line) wearing Scout Armor. It would be a neat modeling project to try.

I don't think you could use them in any kind of tourny, but in a friendly Apoc game, I'm sure your friends would allow it. 4+ armor isn't as good as 3+, so go for it!

Although I do agree a completely scout company from start to finish would be cool even if only a 4+ save.

For a cost you can upgrade one veteran to a champion and one to a standard bearer but not mandatory. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256565/981746.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256565/981746.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256565/981764.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/256565/981764.page GMT
