 We've
come across Veteran Sergeants several times in this article.
These grizzled leaders bring many benefits to a unit of Scouts:
an extra point of Leadership, an extra Attack in hand-to-hand
combat, and access to the Space Marine Armoury. Dark Angel
Veteran Sergeants provide even more benefits, granting
the
Scouts the ability to automatically pass all Morale checks!
The access to the armoury is a very important bonus, as
wargear
and weapon options from the armoury can enhance the performance
of a Scout squad in its particular role.

Hand-to-Hand Scouts can really benefit from
a Veteran Sergeant with a power weapon or
even a
powerfist. When you combine this weapon with
the extra Attack, your Veteran Sergeant can
tackle
those armoured characters with confidence.

| Purity Seals are another excellent
choice, especially for a unit of Hand-to-Hand Scouts.
If your Scouts are forced to fall back from the
enemy (which will likely happen if the Scouts are
not supported in a combat!), then it’s best
to get the best fall back distance that you can. |

The Teleport Homer finds a good home in the hands
of a Scout Veteran Sergeant when you have Terminators
in your army. As Scouts can Infiltrate,
the Homer can usually bring in the Terminators
closer to the enemy with more precision than normal.
