Help! Need a reference, Anybody have pictures of needle weapons?

[Daeger Helsir]

Hi all-

I'm planning on doing some work with regards to an obscure Imperial weapon from the older editions of the game; the needle sniper rifle and needle pistol, which fired slivers of crystallized toxins that rode an armor-piercing laser to their target. However, while I know they're out there, (I've seen a couple of them -somewhere- or another) I can't seem to find any good pictures now that I'm looking for them! The one that most comes to mind is unfortunately only a half-remembered, hazy recollection that's just too vague to be a useful memory, and I'd like to have a decent reference with some detail to go by.

If it helps at all, I vaguely remember this one lineart diagram of a needle pistol which was very tubular, with the gun looking like a medium-size techy cylinder with a sharply insweeping, tapered point/barrel that was much thinner than the rest of the cylinder.

Thanks in advance,

Daeger

There are pictures of Needle weapons on page 138 of the Dark Heresy Warhammer 40000 Roleplay book. Your local game store probably has a copy.

The old Wargear book from 2nd edition 40K has very clear illustrations of all the weapons. You can probably pick up a copy on eBay for quite cheap.
