Shadow War Armageddon Scouts Start

The biggest advantage scouts have is that they can take multiple toxin sniper rifles, which are usually special weapons for most teams with limited numbers.

Combine that with a very strong statline, and they're good high-end dudes compared to most of what's around, except at melee. Where they'll get shredded by Wyches and Harlequins and Tyranids.

How many of those should I start off with at initial creation? I was planning on at least one.

Probably like 2 to start. Get around 4 later. Consider if you want a special/heavy weapon or not to start, and make the others bolter guys.

I actually just started SW:A running scouts. My initial roster was a sergeant with bolt pistol and assault blade, a specialist with a heavy bolter, a scout with a sniper photo visor red dot sight toxic rounds and camo, and two scouts with boltguns. played two games against skitarri rangers and did very well. the heavy bolter is really really strong.

Thanks, sounds good.

If you can spam Sniper Rifle and snipe people everywhere off the board, then it mean you didn't have enough terrain.
