picture Apparently, it was released (briefly) as a Necromunda mini but obviously its a Steel Legion Imperial Guard. I'm just curious if anybody here has ever actually seen it "in the flesh". |

Haven't seen it in person, but I thought this was one of the crews for the heavy weapons team as the weapon looks like a normal lasgun. |

I checked the GW site and did not see him in any of the heavy weapons teams, sorry. |

Yeah… I noticed that too about the lasgun. Its just a normal one yet the site "claims" the fig is supposed to be a sniper. Who knows? *shrug* Now that you mention it, the fig DOES look like it should be part of a heavy weapon crew |

Ive seen it as part of a heavy weapons team or as part of a tank rider uint. I think I might even have one in a box somewhere. Not for sale though… |

It was released via specialist games as a Necromunda Hired Gun. Only available through GW direct for a short period it was designed for a heavy weapon team but never used as such and so was recycled into the Necromunda hired guns. Like most of the figures released through the Necromunda magazine it wasn't produced for long and has been unavailable for years, hence the high prices it usually reaches on ebay. |
