Hey Civilians,
I have a bunch of Cadian IG Lasguns on hand atm and was wondering if anyone might know of a good way to convert them into SM Sniper Rifles for my scouts.
I haven't the money to buy the Sniper Scouts kit atm So am looking into Cheap/No cost ways to make some.
Any help here or even a link to a tutorial would be awesome
Thanks

Buy some PVC plastic tubes. Chop and glue new barrels and suppressors.

Just because anyone agrees with anyone, doesn't mean they are correct. Beware the thin line between what is "Correct" and what is "Popular." |

search your bits box 
No really, like, eh...Skinnattittar said, you would do fine with som longer barrels, and ad a sight on top of that (perhaps by the same stuff you did the longer barrel, or even the front of a lasgun barrel). Problem is to find good size barrels/supressors that dont cost , and most stuff you would find lying around is probablu to big. try the insides of pen
Edited after actually looking at some sniper rifles

Look for the M21. If you don't mind waiting that is...

hmmm idk. most historical models are usually 28mm truescale (but I have no xp on TAG so maybe not). that would make the guns look pathetically small compared to a warhammer fig

Adding a length of plastic tube over the emitter, and a scope from the Marine accessories sprue gets you this:

Insaniak has the right idea, simple yet efficient. very nice. No matter to me, I play SW, and if I waste an elite slot on scouts, they are in assault mode like the rest of the army
