Special weapons rules for Scion squads

So I'm building my first tourney list with Astra Militarum, and I have a question regarding the number of special weapons allowed in a squad of Scions. In the codex, it says you can have up to 2 special weapons for every 5 members in the squad. I took this to mean that if you have 5 models, 2 may have SW, and if you have 10, up to 4 may have them. However, I was playing around on Battlescribe and noticed that I could take 3 meltaguns in an 8 man squad. When I bump it down to 7, it says I have too many special weapons. So is it actually one SW for every 2.5 (3) models? I assumed it was ok because BattleScribe didn't flag it, but I just wanted to make sure I understood the rule.

Yeah, no. You've got it right - Battlescribe isn't a credible source . For every 5 guys, you can take 2 specials. So you need 5 guys for 2, and 10 guys for 4.

Gah of course! Well I'm glad I asked. Thanks!

Oddly enough Scions without weapons are great too. -2AP is nasty when there's like 400 shots. That being said I have a huge "like" for Melta, as Nids can't get it and the native deepstrike melta is something of beauty.
