[hider=The Truth of Scouts, general lore on SM Scouts.]Space marines are not immortal. They are not invincible and they are not unkillable. Though it certainly takes more effort to fell such a powerful warrior it does happen. And the chapters of the Adeptus Astartes are all forced to keep a constant flow of recruits through their doors. Between battlefield losses and the gruelling rites of initiation, physical punishment and genetic tampering each marine is forced to undergo Attrition rates are atrocious even before a space marine has earn the right to call himself such, and wear the hallowed power armour and colours of his chapter. 


Every Chapter of Space Marines must recruit new warriors into its ranks in order to survive. The process varies from Chapter to Chapter, many recruiting from their own homeworlds. These are often feral worlds, breeding tough, harsh new recruits. Whatever the tradition of a particular Chapter, warriors must always be chosen when they are still young, before their bodies become too mature to accept the many bio-implants. 

Once accepted, the genetic implantation and induction of the Space Marine organs begins. The warrior has taken his first steps to becoming a full fledged Space Marine. During those years, the warrior is known as a Neophyte, or Space Marine Scout -- he is neither fully a Space Marine nor entirely a normal human. The Scout is then placed under the tutelage of a sergeant who will oversee his induction and training and also lead the Scouts in battle. Not yet ready to join a company, the young Scouts live alongside their brothers in the 10th Company halls where they will sleep and train, learning the history of their Chapter. 

Space Marine Scouts are neither as tough nor as experienced as full Space Marines. Scouts can fight alongside other Space Marines in the main battle-lines, and often do so, during moments of desperation. Only after a Scout has proven himself in combat will his sergeant judge him worthy of the title of Space Marine, and declare him ready to join one of the companies.[/hider]
