Editing Scout Squad (section)

=== I Can't Believe It's Not A Scout™ ===

Though using Neophytes as Scouts was established when the [[Emperor]] formed the [[Legiones Astartes]], not all [[Chapter]]s utilize them as Scouts:
*'''[[Space Wolves]] Wolf Scout:''' Scouts in the Space Wolves are bitter, experienced veterans taken from the Grey Hunters (the Space Wolves equivalent of the Tactical Marines); most of them are introverts that find it hard to fit in with the rest of the (incredibly gregarious) Space Wolves and prefer to operate more-or-less alone. New recruits are put in [[Blood Claw|Blood Claw squads]] instead. As a result, far from being recon-in-force fodder, Wolf Scouts are [[Ork Kommando|total operators]]. They're experts in demolitions, infiltration, sniping, target analysis, and generally sowing chaos in the enemy ranks.

*'''[[Black Templars]] Neophytes:''' The Black Templars are too cool to use Scouts. Instead, when an Initiate (the Black Templar equivalent of a Tactical Marine) decides he has learned enough, he takes on a Marine-in-training, referred to as Neophytes, which are then mixed into Crusader squads. This is nominally to pass the experience of an Initiate to a Neophyte, but in reality, the Neophytes just make amazing meatshields. And weapons caddies.
