Scouts for Dawn of War 2. For me, they're the most versatile unit in the game.
Really? I thought they were very limited. They were good for taking out small numbers at long range when they'd been upgraded to use sniper rifles but apart from that they could only take command posts.
Basically my use with them was to open up suppressing fire while the tactical or heavy units get into position. What made them the most useful unit to me was the 1-shot kill ability for taking out single enemy units. Also, they are the only unit that can equip the detonators.
So once my unit gained the ability to use item while cloaked, they were unstoppable. Tank in the way. Sneak in, plant a detonator and blow it up. Large group of entrenched soldiers, lather, rinse, repeat.
I usually gave them melta bombs, detonators and either detonation packs or air strikes. They were my hardest hitting team.
I must admit my first play through I used Thaddeus, jump pack marines instead, but my second time through I found Cyrus's group more useful. I never use them both because for me they serve the same purpose. I guess it's all just in a matter of how you play.
