Astra Militarum Weapon Specialist

"Do not strike until you are ready to crush the enemy utterly, and then attack without mercy, destroy every vestige of resistance, leave no one to work against you."

- Tactica Imperialis

Weapon Specialists are those specialists within the Imperial Guard who focus on perfecting their combat abilities. Not simply limited to the ubiquitous Lasgun, a Weapons Specialist could be a Catachan Jungle Fighter using his Shotgun and knife to stalk his prey, a Vostroyan Firstborn cracking enemy vehicles with a Meltagun, or a Cadian daring enough to carry a Plasma Gun into the battlefield. Whatever their weapon of choice, these Guardsmen make up the backbone of the Hammer of the Emperor, and are a force to be reckoned with. In the Imperial Guard, all sepcialists play an important role, whether it be to lead, to heal, to pilot various vehicles and war machines, or to lay down suppressive fire with massive weapons, it is vital to the success of the Imperial Guard. But despite their important role, they all only exist to support and supplement the true power of the Imperial Guard -- the endless ranks of the lasgun-toting Guardsmen. The men and women who make up these ranks of Guardsmen are not distracted by the burdens of leadership, or the difficulties of dealing with strange technology. Instead, they are able to focus all their attention on being the best soldiers they can be, and fighting their righteous war in the name of the God-Emperor. This singular focus allows these individuals to quickly become masters of the lasgun, focusing all their attention on the task of bringing death to the enemies of the Imperium.
