I feel like the Sergeant of a Scout Squad is a full Adeptes Astartes who trains his marines like a father would his own sons. He reminds me that although he had no children of his own, he is the father of hundreds, laying the foundation that all Marines adhere to. In my mind, this Sergeant is greater than any chapter master for without him, the chapter master would have no marines with a chapter's and fraternity's heritage.

The Scout Marines are valuable part of the Space Marines Chapters, both in the terms young aspiring Battle Brothers and a tactical important part of the Codex Combat Doctrines. They are the first to be sent into a battlefields when their more heavily armored and armed Battle Brothers, and it is their duty record weakness and strength of the Enemy, and when it is necessary to engage the enemies into both traps or assassination of key targets. They are the Scout Marines and deserve the honor and respect that comes with their position, and they are the future of their chapter and no doubt bring about new glory for their Chapter.

Love the lore as always. A marine scout might be 15 or 50 but he is still better armed, armored, and enhanced than most of what we consider the other elite warriors of the imperium which I always liked because they still had something to prove, the unproven marine was on par or above a veteran stormtrooper. It showed how trying it was for someone to become a marine and how the process was grueling and yet made them what they are. I do hope they don’t go away as a concept at least when everything becomes primaris.

'Death. I am surrounded by it. The dismembered corpses of the recent dead are strewn the length of the warehouse. Their limbs and entrails stain the corrugated iron of the building. Beside them, the long dead, whose bones had cracked underfoot as we’d fought, watch in silence. ‘The building is secure, captain.’ Brother-Sergeant Cophi’s voice sounds from my left. I re-sheathe my blade and turn to face him. His eyes are as dark as the ash he’s used to obscure his face. I ask after our fallen brothers first. ‘How many?’ ‘Seven.’ Cophi holds up his fist. In his grasp is a length of wire. Seven tongues dangle from the hooks threaded along its length. ‘Their corpses will lie in silence.’ He ties the ends of the wire and loops it over the thick trunk of his neck. I nod. The removal of the tongue is an old Cretacian tradition to prevent a Scout’s ghost from speaking to those following in his wake and betraying the rest of the war-party. Like the remaining twenty-three Scouts under my command, I was born and raised on Cretacia. Ghosts or no ghosts, I would honour the tradition.' - Scout Brother Temel from the Flesh Tearers Chapter, Scout party. Callimachus had shaken his head. ‘Forgive me, but it makes no sense,’ he’d said. ‘Why not send your neophytes into war with the skills they need?’ ‘They learn the skills in real combat, or they die.’ ‘Indeed. Which is a tragic waste.’ ‘Conflict tests the warrior.’ 'The neophytes would remain Scouts until the time that they had at last proven their valour and skill on the field of battle, at which point they would be marked out for the seventeenth and final implantation procedure. Only when the Black Carapace was implanted beneath their skin, the subcutaneous membrane allowing their internal organs to interface directly with the holy power armour with which they would then be entrusted, would they finally be elevated to the exalted level of full battle-brothers and take their place among the combat companies of the Imperial Fists Chapter.' “Remember the words of Rhetoricus, Scouts,” Sergeant Hilts called, his voice as measured and steady as a tolling bell. “When fighting another human, you must become your opponent. Put yourself in your opponent’s place, and think from his point of view.” “Remember, too, the principle of releasing deadlock,” Hilts went on. “When you find yourself in a deadlock, with no progress being made, you must immediately change your approach. The victor will be he who is the most effective in choosing which is the correct tactic to use.” - Veteran Sergeant Hilts, of the Imperial Fists 10 Company
