So I'm painting up some Blood Raven Scouts, and I'm up to the unidentified thing on the left leg. Here's someone else's gallery picture, which kinda shows it:

I can't paint it because I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. Any idea? Is it a single bullet? A single shotgun shell? Who has a holster for a single bullet? They appear to be painted red on GWS's box, which I guess means they are single shotgun shells?

Ummm - is it a flare?

**Ouze**

Heyyy. That's a good idea.

Going with red - thanks!

I think that one only comes on the sniper scout leg, and hence its an ammo pod thing for the needle sniper rifle. It should fit neatly into the side port of the weapon.

Its just a mini 3 bullet bandolier on the leg. Nothing wacky or whatnot. Paint it however you like. All the scouts in the Scouts w/ Sniper Rifle box have them, I cant speak for the regular scout box.

**Ouze**

Ah. I built my scouts out of bits off ebay and warstore grab bags, so I have both styles of legs. Needles also sound possible.
