Question that has been bugging me for a while.....
if you take the scions of mars upgrade and take a techmarine as an HQ choice do they get to take a command sqaud or are they stuck with the Servitors only?

okay, this is a space marine-ish question. Now, I'm sure somebody is going to call me retarded or something after this but,what exactly is the advantage of equiping a space marine scout with a shotgun? The bolter comes at the same price (I think it's free.... not sure) and the bolter has better range and armor piercing. The only advantage I can find with the shotgun is the fact that it's an assault2 weapon. However the bolter is still rapid fire. I just don't see the tactical significance fo the space marine's shotgun. Could someone enlighten me?
xp only scounts can use shotguns as far as i know soo lets think for a moment.....
Its as you said, the difference is that the shotgun is an assault 2 and the bolter is a rapidfire weapon. meaning with the bolter you cant shoot and charge, same with the bolt pistol and cc weapon, and most people use scout sqauds to tie up opponent in one of two ways.
1. pinning with sniper rifles
or the cheaper way.....
2. or charging into close combat.
sorry if that makes no sense, but those are the only reasons i could come up with.
