Hi,
I recently purchased two Steel legion sniper teams off of ebay. I was assured by the seller that they we actual released figures but I cant find any pictures or information about them anywhere.
This is the team in question.


Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated thanks

My google-fu says it was a limited edition model. At least the kneeling guy.

The kneeling guy wasn't that limited edition. He was available from the Necromunda range up until a few months ago.

The "sniper" is a conversion of a standard Heavy Bolter Gunner with what looks like the top rail from a Cadian Lasgun, the body of a meltagun, and a barrel from one of the sniper models(either Larkin or Scope) from a box set.

That's a conversion. I'm certain of it.

Indeed that is a conversion. The "kneeling" guy isn't the limited edition one; he is from the Steel Legion Lascannon HWT as the spotter. The sniper himself is from the Steel Legion Heavy Bolter HWT as the firer of the Heavy Bolter, but the position he is in makes for a great sniper conversion. The bi-pod for the sniper rifle itself is also from the Steel Legion Heavy Bolter HWT, which also makes for a good bi-pod for sniper rifles.

Ah ok.
I guess it's a fairly obviously answer if you know anything about SL. I'm a cadian player myself and my brother (who I bought these for) has only just started so didn't really have someone I could ask about it.
Cheers guys!
