LOL - Well Scouts are half marines, and as I play every GW system
going, and gone, they are effectively marines. ALTHOUGH they dont have
power armour, they do have their carapace scout armour. But pretty much
the mechanics of trying to kill scout marines in 40K, is pretty damn
similar for the normal Squad. So in the long run of things, the Scouts
would have the same save.
And hey, I am not being prejudciced, I have an Ork E40K army, and a bug
one. No beekees round here mate
