I just wished to ask how often if ever you use sniper rifles. I recently played a game where my PCS was armed with 4 of them. I was surprised by how good they were.They turned a redundant squad ( I have another PCS and a CCS with voxes so plenty of orders.... ) into a genuine threat. They killed a chaos champion with power fist and took 2 wounds of Abaddon. I was genuinely pleased. Any cool stories from your experience or advice? ever used ratlings? are they worth the 10pts ?

I had the same thought. That if you spam out 12+ snipers then they can start focus firing on specific things and wrecking them. Sadly it seems like it will be a long time till I actually finish painting mine and using just one sniper doesn't really cut it. I think that GMC's only get wounded on 6s though so they won't be much good against them.

I used to run 10 Ratlings and put a Nice squishy hole, in my mates Krut Meat shield. Then after picking off some path finders, the Hammer head would rain in

I run plenty of sniper's, just because the models make them selves so available to me. They perform great for the cost, I run them in vet's squad's, SWS's, PCS's
For the point's who can resist them?

Yeaah original post was in the last edition (I think they were situational back then) these days snipers work wonders . I usually run two squads of ten ratlings. They either get shot at immediatly (thereby protecting more valuable units) or survive long enough to kill a unit or two.

They either get shot at immediatly (thereby protecting more valuable units) or survive long enough to kill a unit or two. Last edition, this edition it's still tactics. I cannot avoid sniper models, they are everywhere. GW offered me one single solitary sniper rifle in my original Cadian battle force, the very first one I bought. Didn't even know it was there until I couldn't resist building one lone dude with the bit. Never run ratlings for a multitude of reasons, none worth explaining. . Personally don't have any elite slots filled, my sniper rifles are run way in the back field where they can maximize on their range. My opponents usually forget about them blended and lost into the hoards of guardsmen until it's stung in the most obnoxious of ways. It's hard NOT to run sniper rifles in my experience.
