The [[Exodites]], however, primarily use Scout Walkers to protect their herds and the vehicles' [[Dragon]]-like appearance, has un-nerved many foes. They refer to Scout Walkers as '''Mear-feothan''', which means swift wind, and the vehicles are normally piloted by an [[Exodite Warrior]]. Though it is also not unheard of for an [[Exodite Lord]] to lead a squadron of Scout Walkers into battle.{{Fn|1a}} [[Rangers]] use Scout Walkers as well, but their vehicles are equipped with either a [[Shuriken Cannon]], [[Scatter Laser]], [[Eldar Missile Launcher|Missile Launcher]], [[Bright Lance]] or a [[Star Cannon]].{{Fn|2}}
==Tactics==
Scout Walkers are vulnerable while stationary, so their pilots keep them constantly moving. Battle tactics for the vehicles include moving from cover to cover, while shooting at their foes or sniping their enemies from a distance. Scout Walkers are also best deployed in squadrons of three in v formations, with the lead vehicle being equipped with a [[Lascannon]]. The other two will be equipped with [[Scatter Laser]]s and as the Lascannon equipped vehicle destroys heavily armored armoured targets, they will mop up any infantry that threatens the squadron.{{Fn|1a}}
