These are new sculpts, the Imperial Conscripts fight in hordes, an undisciplined rabble equipped with whatever weapons they can lay there hands on. These lucky devils got a shotgun and a slug rifle respectively. Now whilst a shotgun lacks the range of a slug rifle, the extra accuracy it yields at close range makes it worth every penny in an enclosed environment. The additional slug rifle variant is for players who want a ranged attack.
Conscripts with slug rifles may not be able to go 1 on 1 against Legionnaires with their gauss rifles but with numbers on their side they are more than a match.
