Sending scouts on some sort of advanced space crusade into the insides of living Tyranid bioships always struck me as a totally reasonable and appropriate application of Astartes resources
I absolutely believe there is a Black Templars Children's Crusade doing exactly that. 5 Sword bretherin watching the human wave tactics battle from orbit sipping their electric tequilas and counting the dead.
Was it 3rd or 4th were black Templar could add 5 scouts to every tac squad and then could take scouts on top of that? My brother ran like 200 combat Templar on foot.
I have always thought that the Mexican Spin-off of the War Bastards, known as Electric Tequila, were pushing it with their 50,000 strong scout company.
Ian Watson's books were always a trip. Glad to see you referencing some of his more obscure works, like Electric Tequila. Also, congratulations on avoiding making any jokes about the smell of cinnamon.
How have I never noticed the fluffy shoulder pads on the scout's shoulders before? Shows you how much attention I was paying. Probably useful for downing pints of electric tequila...
I feel fully informed and prepared for my indoctrination into the 20,000 strong scout company of the War Bastards chapter and deployment to the patrol frigate 'Electric Tequila'. Praise the Emperor!
I’ve always been a fan of the scouts, and miss the days when you could field an almost diverse and semi-usable army using mostly units comprised of them. Speeders, bikes, and infantry squads, backed by only a captain, a few razorbacks, and three dozen quarts of electric tequila would often make an all gretchin/snotling player question their choices in life, army selection, and alcoholic beverages. Personally, I own a Primaris Vanguard army because I like high heels and stockings with suspenders, but all (almost) all scout army would be my second choice for Astartes because I’m an Ork player and don’t like to be certain of anything, least of all victory. Edit: I may have smoked one too many fungus cigars before I typed this and misses the second S in the word “speeders.” Noticing this is herusee, pleez giv yor gunz to da big red ship wiv da blud ax glyph on da side (itz for tricking dumb umiez, i meen, filfer zeenoez wiv. Wa-ahem, da empruh protekts! 💀)
I still say the reason 10th edition doesn't let you run Scout Sniper teams is solely because they were arguably better than the Eliminators and GW doesn't want them to outsell a Primaris kit. Which is really really dumb when they have different niches because Eliminators can run Las Fusils and do anti-armor better while Scouts focus on killing MEQs. I picked a very silly time to get into 40k.
3:17 SOMEONE SAID IT, thank you I don’t hate the Primaris stuff but so much of it feels like ot could have been weapon options for the same kit, instead of a whole new unit, MAAAAYBE an upgrade kit, if Geedubs still wanted to squeeze those extra dima-dollars out of fans
The frustrating thing is that GW's model quality is generally outstanding. They ABSOLUTELY could make amazing kits with weapon options and variations. "Tacitus Devastator" and "Gravis Devastator" kits could have been real. Instead we've turned Space Marines into Aspect Warriors.
My Space Marine army first started with the horrible squatting pastic Scouts from Advanced Space Marine (and the now teeny-tiny terminators from Space Hulk). YES I still use them and they do drink electric tequila.
Ok, so the scouts don’t get to use their storm pattern landspeeders anymore, not to be confused with the new primaris land-speeder variant known as the stormspeeder which they’re also forbidden from using. Edilectric tequila.
(there is a relevant point to this) Long ago I went to a centre parks with a girlfriend and her family, they all shunned the pool (heretics!) And the only other notable thing was her brother was trying to feed the squirrels outside, but got bit by this massive mangy one the size of a cat. I called him War Bastard, he was the most vicious thing I'd ever seen, like a Glaswegian tramp who'd been on the electric tequila. I feel this squirrel should be the War Bastard's mascot. I ruthlessly mocked her brother for the rest of the trip. It's one of my fondest memories of the whole relationship...
Aaah, sending unsupported scouts to board Tyranid Hive Ships. A strategy that famously came to grief during the boarding of the Hive Ship codenamed "Ruination of Laomedon", when twenty-seven Scouts perished in a biologically exuded pool of electric tequila.
By the honor provided by the Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Maximilian der Erste, I congratulate @Olden Demon on being the erste Brite to not butcher the pronunciation of "Landsknecht"! Electric tequila for everyone! Prost!
This reminds me of a book excerpt in one of the 90's white dwarves... scouts fighting in hive fleet ships. The writer went quite heavy on disgusting methaphors for the biological ship invasion if I remember correctly. The scouts died, of course, and no-one really cared.
@@davidc8982 my memory is that it was their final mission as scouts, and (SPOILER) the one of the three main characters that survived it was the only one to become a full space marine.
I hope the War Bastards keep a well stocked bar on that battle barge, plenty of chain vodka, power whisky and electric tequila to toast the glorious exploits of the scout company on the planet below.
judging from the art at 1:30 the scouts surprisingly look similar to people wearing these Championship Belts from Wrestling. pure 80ies/90ies goodness^^
iirc the pre-heresy death guard were known to put their scouts through a grueling process of poison consumption (toxins included the juices of the catachan barking toad, colloquially referred to as “electric tequila”) that was meant to increase their already-high tolerance for toxins…the survival rate was extremely low, and the death guard had one of the smallest scout companies of any legion as a result
Man, you know what really hits the spot after some good ol' fashioned xenos purging? War Bastards Brand (tm) Electric Tequila. *From the makers of Brandy Brand Brandy*
Coincidentally, 'War Bastards' is also the name of a 90s jazz-folk troupe. My favourite song of theirs is the classic Electric Tequila. Praise the Omnissiah! Bless the Holy Algorithm!
Great video and yes if over two companies worth of Space Marines I in my 34 years of playing have never fielded any Space Marine Scouts probably due to not owning a single one. With "Electric Tequila" oh yes I did paused the video to read about the War Bastards, I have never found the need to put them into any of my Space Marine armies probably due to their limited lifespan on the tabletop or just that I have them out scouting somewhere.
Wow, the old art with the Landsknecht style Scouts is pretty damn cool. I'm guessing they wanted to move the whole medieval-ish or heraldic theming away from Space Marines to some extent (some chapters still have it), and put that onto Imperial Knights. Also that story where the Scouts find an STC that can make an Electric Tequila is pretty badass, you should check it out.
The preview art on epside thumbnail makes me think we could have got more interesting scouts that were like space squires. The other marine minatures seem to get increasing ornate armor, actual 3rd ed stuff did not look like box art of black templar, now we have black templar with tabards being a thing and a minature posed excactly like the art. But scouts dont have as much.
The toughest Space Marine scouts, of course, can be found in the Drop Bears chapter, where the only refreshment allowed from sunup to sundown is Electric Tequila. Praise be.
The one channel I share more than any other. I'm now wondering if tequila really does taste as bad as it did 25 years ago while the lyrics "...it's been 7 hours and 15 days" run round my head like a cornered pigeon. But ever so grateful for Ian Watson and the novel "Space Marine". 45000pts later Imperial Fists are still going strong. To quote one of my alltime fav's "Your doing a man's work Sir"✊🏻. PS, if anyone plays against me you can happily use anything GW got rid of.
@@OldenDemon Exactly! Still won't keep it cold!. Actually I just remembered what happened the last time I drank it and who with. Not a cheery drink but definitely a surreal yet funny situation and aftermath. Never been a big drinker and it showed!!!. So Mr Oscar Delta! What's on the books for the next batrep?.
For a second there, I could almost taste what it felt like to imagine the 41st millennium when I was just a lad flipping through John Blanche artwork in the grand old 3rd Edition rulebook. It was almost like sipping an electric tequila...
I love your videos full of satire with all of the ridiculous new stuff for the current new current edition of Warhammer 40K Space Marines. This is the reason why I stopped chasing current editions of 40K about 10 years ago, and topped out at 7 to add because it's the last one that has anything to do with the original rule system. But we all know that second edition and Third Edition where the best editions of 40K anyway. Keep up the good work.
it kills me that such a loophole was never mentioned or exploited in the lore. I would have been amazing of the other chapters though they were being sly and cheating by having slightly larger chapters or programs designed to unite their successor in case of emergency while the ultramarine just maintain 50 000 scouts and keep extra armour in storage. Would never have needed a single Primaris marine when Bobby G gave them the go ahead to ramp up production
Both the Black Templars and the Space Wolves cheat and exploit this loophole to have an effective higher number of almost-marines. (On top of all the other none-codex-compliant stuff they do).
Im all for my ruffles, giant combat knife and vanilla ice haircut, just as soon as im done my "electric tequila". Praise the Emperor and carry a big gun!
This is a microcism of why I have just given up with the new editions and gone back to playing classic 40k. Can't nobody take away my beloved units, special rules, and weapon options if I refuse to acknowledge any writing GW put out after 5th Edition, and stick to using rules from when 40k was, frankly, just better.
Been doing the same thing after being disappointed with the direction of the game. Strapped for cash, but as I can I've been picking up old armies to build a collection at home. End goal has been to get other people I board gane with interested in trying an older wargame. It's working and I've got to relive my childhood having some great games, except the models are better painted this time.
@@Grymbaldknight Love 5th edition too. It just runs so smoothly and everything feels balanced because everyone is overpowered. Sure one of my squads will be devoured by a Mawloc, but then my Hawks obliterate a squad of gaunts on their own. It's great.
Sending scouts on some sort of advanced space crusade into the insides of living Tyranid bioships always struck me as a totally reasonable and appropriate application of Astartes resources
That's just the Black Templars day to day

There's something quaint about putting a silencer on a pistol that fires rocked propelled grenades.

Great video. I’ll never forget reading Space Marine by Ian Watson as scouts go through their stages to become marines. Such an amazing book.
Watson's novel is the definitive Space Marine experience! Hail Dorn, dawn of our being!
Stupid Sexy Zoat.
"Up its arse!"
WHAT IS THE EMPEROR'S NAME?
Wait a sec. I begin to think that this video is not about Space Marine Scouts but to take a dump on the new Space Marine Codex...
Have you heard of our Lord and saviours the vanguards?
How have I never noticed the fluffy shoulder pads on the scout's shoulders before? Shows you how much attention I was paying. Probably useful for downing pints of electric tequila...
You are the first winner

This whole video honestly sounds like it was read out by Friend Computer and I love it. Happiness is mandatory, Friend Citizen...
I'm sure with all those removals from the Codex, surely a Scout Marine would never suffer from a little... Paranoia.
I love my goofy plastic scouts with silenced pistols led by Telion. Also that scout land speeder is one of the coolest minis GW made, sad to see it go
I still say the reason 10th edition doesn't let you run Scout Sniper teams is solely because they were arguably better than the Eliminators and GW doesn't want them to outsell a Primaris kit. Which is really really dumb when they have different niches because Eliminators can run Las Fusils and do anti-armor better while Scouts focus on killing MEQs. I picked a very silly time to get into 40k.
Put the codex in the bin
You could get in 40k at any time and it would be silly.
Fielding Scouts back in 2nd Edition, I always wondered how any new Space Marines were ever made, given the casualty rate of my scouts
Ah what memories, the 90s were a wild time. So many food adolescent memories drinking Hooch, Smirnoff Mules and Electric Tequila.

It's exactly that. Remove customization and poseability so that you can have multiple separate knits which easily could have been one.
The frustrating thing is that GW's model quality is generally outstanding. They ABSOLUTELY could make amazing kits with weapon options and variations.
"Tacitus Devastator" and "Gravis Devastator" kits could have been real.
Instead we've turned Space Marines into Aspect Warriors.
