Don't GW have space marine 'scouts'? I'm sure they will be deeply concerned to hear that someone is using the term without permission.

You are referring to the Black Library Tome "Space Marine Scouting for Boys" by High Lord Inquisitor Baden-Powell, perhaps?

That will be the one. If I recall there was a great split between the Imperial Space Marine scouts over the design of the woggle.

I think you'll find it was the woggle with EXTRA skullz that won!

Of course, you can never have too many skullz on the woggle that goes with your Ultramarine Blue and Dark Angel Green neckerchief...

The relentless thrumming of the Baden Drive reverberated through the mighty scout starcruiser We have wood.

Dib...dib...dib...dob...dob...dob.

S&M Head Marine, Madame Blyton was annoyed. Although she insisted on obedience to her every command, her body-armour slave had not tightened her woggle and cravat correctly. She smiled grimly. He would be disciplined later. Now was the time for the victory ceremony.

"Be prepared, space cubs" cried Blyton fixing an imperious stare on the quaking scouts before her.

Arkela, the ship's Necker-in-chief, stood impassively. He clutched an array of service medals ready for the awards ceremony. And a rather large tomahawk for the cowards of Troop Turramurra.

The trainee scouts were still so small that their heads could not be seen over the lip of the space armour (TM). Their fire-making may have lacked in accuracy but had more than compensated in its enthusiasm. 

The evil Duke of Edenborough would never again stain the noble ceramite (TM) khaki armour with his followers' blood.

Just so I get the Codex TM (£30) correct, are there 5 or 7 scouts in Madame Blyton's squad, and does this include a cyberdog?

An interesting question, Joroas.

Famously, there were five but the Goto codices (TM) assert that, secretly, there were seven.

Timithi the cyberdog is considered to be augmented psychic. And in need of a bath.

This must be a GW thing which I never have, don't now, and probably never will understand.   ::)   o_o

Assuming it refers to Scouting as I knew it back in the day, it seems fair to say the Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts/Camp Fire Girls are probably having nightmares in their sleeping bags...   :o

 lol   ;)   lol

Scouts in Bondage is an early manuscript that eventually became that wargamers' hit, Fifty Shades of Uniform Grey.  lol
