| | |
| In [[Space Marine]] Chapters that follow the [[Codex Astartes]], '''Scouts''' are Space Marines in training. They have not yet gained the Black Carapace, the [[gene-seed]] organ that allows a Marine to interface with his [[power armour]]. They are usually organized into squads in the Tenth Company, and are [[Reasonable Marines|the only Marines capable of wielding sniper rifles or using camouflage]] (for some unexplainable reason). Fittingly, the [[Raven Guard]] use a lot of Scouts, since their combat doctrine centers around infiltration and sabotage.

| They are lead by a Sergeant, who is usually a member of a [[Tactical Squad]] that chooses to impart his wisdom on a younger generation, but may also be a Veteran Scout who refused the opportunity to become a full-fledged Space Marine. In the case of the [[Blood Ravens]], they are led by [[Steve Blum]] voicing an angsting, ineffectual dork, and he hopes one day to teach all the Blood Ravens to be angsting ineffectual dorks. Among his most important lessons is that, when facing [[Tyranids]], the greatest tactical decision is to <s>give up all hope</s> kill the [[Matt Ward|greatest threat]]. Aside from that, go out of the way to point out problems and question every solution as if it was the most inexperienced idea you've ever heard.

| *[[Space Wolves]]- The wolf boys use the opposite tactic: their Scouts are chosen from Tactical Marines who are experienced, skilled in tracking, and loners who don't play with others. Think [[Dawn of War II|Cyrus]], but wolfier.

| | |
| *[[Black Templars]]- they do not use Scouts at all, instead mixing their Marines-in-training, which they call "Neophytes", into their normal battle-brother squads. They apparently think this gives the Initiates better experience, but it's really just because they make amazing meat shields.
