===Ratlings in the Imperial Guard===

Although Ratlings make generally poor warriors but the [[Imperium]] still finds a use for them, as they are often recruited into the Imperial Guard as snipers, one of the battlefield roles in which they excel.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|7}} They also excel as infiltrators, due to their ability to traverse war zones with relative discretion.{{Fn|1}} In those roles they operate independently of the rest of the Imperial Guard force, and are equipped with [[sniper rifle|sniper rifles]], [[Needle Sniper Rifle]]s,{{Fn|10c}} or [[Tankstopper Rifle|Tankstopper Rifles]]{{Fn|22a}} for weaponry and [[flak armour]] for protection.{{Fn|7}} Teams of ratlings sharpshooters are often divided into smaller units placed directly under command of a regimental officer, each unit is strategically placed in a precise array of locations to provide commanding fields of covering fire. And while they are often disparaged by the majority of their baseline human compatriots, many of those who mock the halflings owe their own survival to the cover fire of ratling regiments.{{Fn|1}} In addition to their role as scouts and snipers they are skilled in urban combat and survival, and are sometimes accompanied by [[Battlemutt]] war dogs.{{Fn|22a}}
