Regardless, Special Weapon Squads are sub-listed under the Infantry Platoon entry in the IG codex, if memory serves.

However, most folks will tell you not to bother, I think. 3 BS3 Sniper shots aren't going to make much difference.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494005.page GMT BS, you'll miss way more than you actually hit]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494014.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494099.page GMT SWS carrying demo charges or melta guns or SOMETHING more useful than a sniper rifle.

That being said, count as Ratlings would probably be where you're looking. BS4, Infiltrate and Stealth means that they can be decent snipers, and at 10 pts a model, they're pretty cheap. THat being said, they are still not that good against anything other than high toughness units, and even then they're praying for a rending hit.

Snipers are cool, but don't expect them to be game changing. Now...how to make them better? THat is something for this forum to think about.... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494105.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494105.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349719/2494116.page GMT
