I bought some Scout sprues, second hand. Options are limited - no cloaks or sniper rifles. I don't have an LSS, so they won't be zipping in that way. I haven't put them together yet, but I was wondering two things, really:
1) should I use the heavy bolter?
2) I should go with bolters instead of shotguns, right? (bolters look WAY cooler)
If I don't use the Heavy Bolter, I guess I can use some leftover bitz from something else and give the Sergeant a bolter and chainsword, then I'll have five bolter shots plus infiltrate and 4+ armor save. I'm underwhelmed, frankly. But I suspect it's because I'm not looking at things the right way, and there's something useful about these guys that I just haven't seen yet.
Granted: If I could get camo cloaks and sniper rifles for them, I would do that, upgrade the squad fully, and they would just sit on objectives in cover for an entire game.
