Imperial Guard Sharpshooter

Imperial Guard Snipers are the men and women of the Imperial Guard who are recognised as outstanding marksmen and are entrusted with a long-las sniper variant Lasgun. They are the soldiers who are called upon when an elite enemy appears and someone needs to put a las-bolt through their head. Whether their foe is an enormous axe-wielding Nob or a renegade Psyker under the control of Chaos, a sniper will be ready to take the shot.

Wargear
Long-las Sniper Variant - this weapon is a Lasgun with an extended barrel and advanced scope. These modifications, along with a bipod and a Hotshot power pack capacitator, turn the weapon into a powerful sniper rifle capable of taking down immensely durable enemies such as Necrons and Orks.

Absolution-pattern Sniper Rifle (Optional) - some exceptionally lucky marksmen are allowed to carry an Absolution-pattern Sniper Rifle, a projectile with even more power than the long-las sniper variant. One of the other main advantages of this gun is that it can be fitted with both a silencer and a flash suppressor, and that the shot won't give away the sniper's position.

Laspistol - even for the best snipers, one day their position will be overrun. Sniper Rifles are poor weapons in close-quarters, so every sniper will carry a back-up sidearm for when they are forced into combat at close-range.

Combat Knife -  A  Combat Knife  is a one-handed melee weapon, serving as the ubiquitous back-up weapon for warriors all across the Imperium, be they lowly hive scum or the elite soldiers of a  Planetary Governor. Some, such as the infamous Catachan Fighting Knife, are designed for a specific purpose, whilst others are more generic in nature.

Regimental Imperial Guard Uniform and Equipment - snipers still wear the standard uniform of their regiments and carry the same ammunition, tools and supplies.

Flak Armour - as with all aspects of the Imperial Guard, snipers wear their Flak Armour into combat.

Camo-cloak - Imperial snipers have to be very stealthy in order to find the best possible position from which to shoot. Most snipers wear a cloak made out of Cameleoline, which allows them to blend in with their surroundings.

Rangefinder - no sniper will ever be without their rangefinding equipment. This piece of combat gear allows the sniper to measure the distance to their target: valuable information required for making accurate shots over long distances.

Spotters
Some snipers work over such long ranges that they require spotters. These soldiers assist the snipers in calculating their shots over distances of up to several miles, and are essential for snipers to operate to high standards in the field. The second responsibility of the spotter is that of close-range fire support, as they carry a Lasgun capable of fully-automatic firing.
