So I got ahold of the new Kill Team versus box (Salvation), mostly for discounted plastic Striking Scorpions, but I've never painted Space Marine Scouts.
The main problem I have with Scouts, however, is that my main

And a back view. For reference, here's what my Death Eagle Intercessors look like:
