>>5337708No, scouts are weaker than fully fledged marines, and in 40k their scout sniper rifles aren't bolt sniper rifles (Nemesis Bolter)
>the Sniper Rifle is such a weapon, and its use fits the tactical role of the Scout. The rifle fires a small dart made from a deadly neuro-toxin chemical. The liquid chemical is frozen into a dart or sliver within the gun before it is firedPic related are the rules for Scout Squads in 30k. Notice that, as with 40k scouts, they are weaker than fully fledged marines having 1 wound instead of 2.
Interestingly, in 30k, they were willing to give Scout Snipers Nemesis bolters rather than limiting them to non-bolter sniper rifles.
