I like its look and idea. However, from my games, it is way too expensive for what it does. I have yet to try using a beastmaster on one, but I suspect that isn't the most competitive choice either.
Have you found a way to use scourgerunner chariots effectively in games where your opponent brings a "strong" list?
My gaming group is pretty open to changing the cost of weaker choices. My question then is, how would you price the scourgerunner chariot without beastmaster? I think I would make it cost the same as a cold one chariot (115p). Mainly because then I could just use that profile when building lists in battlescribe. Of course that needs playtesting, but do you think that would be appropiate? (Also, I would use them instead of reapers...so that there's no need to worry about a list with 7 bolt throwers  ) |

I didn't get mine painted until after GW blew the world up, so I'm probably not the best for this advice. But it seemed to me, maxing your bolt throwers and then adding Scougerunners for more shots was pretty much the whole point of them...

Now that you say it, I wouldn't swap a reaper for a scourgerunner, even if they cost the same. Using them in addition to reapers is probably how to make them work. You're right.
Did you have success with using scourgerunners for maxing out your bolters? Thinking about it, 7 bolters wouldn't be that bad imo. Even if they were cheaper, you would lack a lot of flexibility in an all-comers list.
Still, as they are currently priced, spending 280p on reapers and then 150p extra for essentially a half-range bolter doesn't appear viable to me. You get a lot more value and a better list by spending that many points elsewhere, such as on characters.
My question remains: How would you adjust their cost? (If you were to do so.)
