This has been taken care of in the latest version of the Q&A, which
you can get by e-mailing the roolzboyz. From the Q&A:
13) For two months in a row, we've been treated to Scout Squads
from a Codex: Space Marine army that include a Sgt. with squad
upgrade weaponry. Previously, the general understanding of the
wording of the Scout Squad entry in the army list, and the grey box
on page 5 of C: SM, has led to the belief that Scout Sgts. may only
be equipped the BP & CC Weapon combo. They can't get squad upgrades,
like shotguns, or sniper rifles. So, what's the deal? I'd dearly love
to not have to waste points on a Sgt. equipped for HTH in a squad of
sniper rifles with a heavy bolter. Have the majority of players (and
the FAQ, I believe) been getting this wrong all along?
Nope, you have it correct… The Battle Reports were wrong.
