I've acquired quite a lot of my IG army via second-hand job lots on ebay. One of them contained this model:

Spoiler:

Now, I really love this model, but it spend virtually all its time sitting in my case because I've not no idea what to use it as. A Company Commander or Commissar doesn't seem right, as neither of them have access to anything even close to a rocket launcher. Master of Ordnance is possible, but only being able to fire his rocket once per game is far from ideal. Marbo would be the obvious choice, but he's ceased to exist again.

Anyway, especially since I can now freely include other Imperium units, I thought I'd see if anyone could suggest a better use for him?

So, any suggestions?

Sgt Harkar proxy or some sort of Vindicare assassin?

Sniping with a rocket? i love it

Vindicare would be cool.

I think that may be easy: just another variant of the Heavy Weapon squad with rocket launcher.
Just make up a guy holding a spare missile and with a big backpack and he is your second obvious member of the team.
If people are REALLY fussy you can build up a larger base with spots built-up for them to slot into.

He would make a really cool looking missile launcher SM scout as well.

That's a pretty huge launcher. Glue him to the top of a toy tank, call it a Deathstrike.

Thanks for the ideas, guys. I think I'll go with the Vindicare option. It fits in with the pistol he's holding and I love the idea of him sniping with a rocket launcher.

It's actually the standard missile launcher from the HWT set.

Yes, the guard one IS larger than the marine one. The missiles are bigger, too. Marines get the miniaturised ones.
