Ork Blood Axes are 12 points each (if I recall correctly) and the same as or
worse as these scouts in every category. This might not be a fair
comparison, though, 'cuz it's established that infiltrate only costs 1 point
for Marines, not 3. So here's my proposal.

These scouts are the same as Ork boyz, but have 1 more assault, and
infiltrate. So, I would recommend them costing 9 points (the cost of an Ork
boy) +1 for the extra point of assault, +1 for the infiltrate, = 11 points
total cost. I think this is a pretty reasonable price.
