Oh I get that the new model that IW has now made for the "Standard", 20 years later, is the "Standard"
But lets face it that artwork for the scout has never matched what the scout is supposed to have in its arms.
And I've always found it odd that the original GDL boxed BA didn't clarify if it was Scout or Standard & clearly has Modular Weapons which match the standard.
That original GDL picture in red has always had features that fit both the standard & the scout variants.
Its like the artist didn't know what he was drawing.
And then the boxed minis match it but its art that doesn't match the fluff for either suit.
So while its great that we now have a "Standard" mini that you purchase singles of that clearly matches what its supposed to look like, we still have that funky looking "Scout" picture & a bunch of minis that no one wants to use in the dozens.
Heck, if you look at FMMercs the caption doesn't even call it the Scout & instead seems to refer to it being their upgrade of "Standard IS BA".
I know that NOW, 20 years later its the scout, but I'm saying that when that art was made & the original mini produced, to me, it would make sense that they were making the standard based on the fact that it was the only one w/ a mini & the caption doesn't call it the scout.
