Scout Marine Squad

""We will move ahead, and mark any enemy positions.""

Scout Marines are junior members of their respective chapters, initiates not yet worthy of wearing the Power Armour of the Adeptus Astartes. They also have yet to receive all the biological enhancements of a full Marine. The Codex Astartes, the tome that nominally governs the organization and discipline of all Space Marines, prescribes that scouts form the Tenth Company of each chapter.

Scout Marine Squads can capture Strategic Points, Critical Points and Relics.

Scout Marines take 40% more morale damage than other units.

Tactics

The most commonly used strategy with Scout Marine Squads is to build a couple and use them just for capturing Strategic Points. Once the squad cap they take is needed they are then sent on suicide missions to scout out the enemy base. The other strategy is to research the Infiltration ability and equip them with Sniper Rifles. With Sniper Rifles Scout Marine Squads can quickly break enemy morale, vastly reducing the threat to your other squads. They can also be used for harassment, killing builder units and attacking squads in the middle of capturing Strategic Points. Also, Skull Probes can be attached to this unit to make it an infiltrated detector unit that can, if equipped with Sniper Rifles, break morale as well. In a pinch, the Skull Probe can also be suicided to paralyze an enemy vehicle. They can also be used to tie up ranged infantry, such as the Fire Warrior Team, so that they can't kill your expensive Space Marine Squad.
