Re: Scouts? I bring a unit of 6 to every single battle. I live by having at least one unit in my armies that have the infiltrate ability. The counter opponents infiltrators and allow me to dictate what side of the board his infiltrators deploy on. The only other option for this is Veterans but why spend all of the extra points.
I only ever field them carrying bolters and I use them as a clean up squad. Which will be really effective in 5th ed. where we need to kill every last ork to the man if they aren't running away. Also part of their clean up role is to shoot last in the phase and see if they can tip a units casualties to 25% and cause morale checks.
I would really want snipers against a Ctan but not everyone runs into that everyday.
