The scouts in the land speeder have the Scouts rule, which also give them Outflank. So the LSS can sit in reserves and then outflank and approach a critical flank unit, blast them with the Cerberus launcher to attempt a Blind, hit them with a heavy flamer template to thin the ranks of the unit, and then the scouts can jump out and assault that unit, since the LSS is open topped and therefore an assault vehicle. If the Blind was successful, the enemy unit is WS1, making them easy prey for the WS3 scouts! The combat results should statistically be in favor of the scouts, and if the Blind was successful, then chances are the scouts'll win the initiative check which follows the morale check at the end of an assault as well. Obviously this won't work very well on high initiative units, but most units don't have high initiative.

Am I missing something, or is this actually a really good and points-affordable idea?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372312.page GMT Scouts in a Land Speeder Storm http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372489.page GMT Scouts in a Land Speeder Storm http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372507.page GMT Scouts in a Land Speeder Storm

And there it is.

Not a show-stopper, but definitely a spanner in the works of how I envisioned it working. I think it'd still work though, it'd just require more finesse.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372515.page GMT Scouts in a Land Speeder Storm LSS scouts aren't good because they are capable of assaulting weak units. They're good because they're super cheap mobile units with a reasonable resilience per point. They operate very much like Eldar jetbikes in that you have a couple small, cheap, mobile units to control/contest late.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569872/6372540.page GMT Re:Scouts in a Land Speeder Storm ccw to be honest.
