The veteran scouts of the "Night Wolves" are an idea that i have had for about 2 years now. In making these rules i was hoping to give a different slant to the chapter of marines that i had dreampt up for myself. My perception of the Night wolves was one of a fast moving one. scouting out the enemy and leading them into ambushes wherever possible. The veteran scout idea came about after thinking of ways of making a different type of elite unit, which is usually the role taken by Space Marine vets.

Oh well, enough of that, here's the rules, at present they haven't been playtested a great deal, but in the three or so games in which they have, they haven't unbalanced the game terribly.

Squad

The squad consists of 4 veteran space marine scouts and 1 sergeant.

Weapons

Bolt pistol, frag and plasma grenades, Needle sniper rifle.

Armour

Scout armour (3+ save)

Any model may choose equipment from the assault weapons section of the Space Marine wargear list.

The entire squad may be equipped with Krak grenades at a cost of +15 points.

Infiltrate
