Need Help Looking for a Bit
I need help locating this bit. I have been searching eBay and the bits stores, but have had no luck at all. I believe this is a spotlight from the vehicle upgrade sprue one version prior to the current one.
I am willing to trade or buy (I only need 1). Can anyone out there help me?

List Building: Imperial Guard
I have always wanted to make a rag-tag, or eclectic looking IG army. I was never sure quite how to do it (or when I would so), but I have been collecting the models for 15+ years. As evidence, here are a few pics...
The root of the inspiration is the last ditch effort to defend an outpost or some other important location. I envision the force to be comprised of the local enforcers/arbites, remnants of planetary reserves, desperados, prisoners, conscripts, special forces, kill teams, and elements of the local administratum. Because of our Dark Heresy campaign, I only recently thought about including an inquisitor and/or rogue trader-- either a counts-as company command squad, or an additional inquisitor ally squad.
This is not meant to be any sort of competitive tournament list, just a casual fun list. Except for the 2 chimeras, I have everything listed. The Arvus Lighter is a scratch build project, primarily for use in Dark Heresy.

HQ: Company Command Squad (11#, 375 pts)
Rogue Trader or Inquisitor?
Special Forces?
