you can even add on a bolter mag in place of the las pack if you want a solid projectile rifle

for the sniper scope - i use a combination of the smurf sniper scope bit and add-on part of the mortar sight...

simple, quick and looks really cool!

mind you, i do really like both the cadian and vrostroyan sniper models... i use the standing cadian in my unit along with the mad larkin model and two other converted snipers. (i used to use just 4 ratlings! likely the other reason they never lasted as they were a small unit... oops!!!)

cheers!
for converting sniper rifles i do exactly what stitch said...except i file down a lot of the little nubs and things that appear on the lasgun, add a tubey thing to the end, a marine scope and a chaos marine ammo feed...simple stuff, with excellent results.

i also agree with stitch in saying that ratlings are probably one of the dumbest looking/ ugliest GW models. prooobably..lol
