    Can anybody explain how imperial guard snipers work cause I'm rather confused and nobody else collects guard so nobody knows their rules. As far as I know their part of a special weapons squad (I think) but can i use them as individual pieces or do they have to be kept together like a squad?

    Any particular codex? Do you mean normal guard with sniper rifle upgrades, or ratlings?

    the current codex (6th i think, haven't played in a while). They're normal guards with sniper-rifles, couldn't find rathlings and think someone mentioned they'd be better!!

    The snipers are part of the 6 man special weapons squad, where up to three may have sniper rifles. They're part of the unit and not independent.

    Would I be allowed have 6 snipers so? Would I be better having a rathling squad? they may look ridiculous but if their better they'd be worth it!

    No, there's a max of three special weapons, so there can't be 6 snipers. Ratlings can go from 3 to 10 snipers in total though.

    You can still add the fourth to an infantry squad, since they can take one sniper.

    Turns out my brother read this trend before I took credit...the truth is out there:D But ya I think the guardsmen snipers look good, they really should use these models as a replacement for the rats!! Then again I suppose some people must like them.
