'''Imperial Guard Snipers''' are specialist soldiers who are assigned to take out enemies from a distance without being caught and without having to divert many warriors to do the job. They are usually armed with a [[Sniper Rifle]] or something similar. Snipers can work alone, or in groups.  == Sniper ==An '''Imperial Guard Sniper''' is a special class of [[Guardsman|soldier]] whose armament includes a [[Sniper Rifle]], which is basically usually a [[lasgun]] with attached optics and a longer barrel for long-ranged fire (colloquially known as a '''long-las''') though some have been known to carry a [[needle las]]or a solid slug throwing weapon. These soldiers are recruited from among the finest sharpshooters in an Imperial Guard regiment and take up their positions hours, or even days before a battle commences. This gives them time to both find a spot with the best concealment, lanes of fire, and to survey the battlefield's surroundings. Concentrated [[sniper]] fire can throw enemy units into confusion, as they begin to take casualties without knowing where the fire is coming from.{{Cite This}}== Deathorld Veteran Sniper==[[Image:Catachan_Sniper.jpg|thumb|Deathworld (Catachan) Veteran Sniper]] '''Deathworld Veteran Snipers''' are ultra-specialists in both covert operations and jungle/forest warfare, often coming from [[Catachan]] and other [[Death Worlds]]. They are armed with a [[Sniper Rifle]] and come in groups of one to three, although they rarely work together as individuals are easier to hide than groups. They often impregnate their bullets with toxins which give them a second chance at killing the enemy, if the bullet didn't succeed then the poison probably will. They are also excellent at disappearing in terrain as well as making use of the best cover in their operating environment.²
