Editing Ripper (section)

==Collecting==
Rippers are an unusual unit in the Tyranid army since you cannot buy them in a box. Instead they have to be assembled using [[Termagant]] boxes, which only contain 5 Ripper organisms, which is enough for one base's worth of them. Several of the other Tyranid unit boxes used to have Rippers as well, but most of these kits have been updated, and the Rippers were dropped. But that's okay, since as a Tyranid player you'll be needing a boatload of Gaunts anyway. If you're stingy you can get clever with modeling and create a hole in the ground or a bush or something with a Ripper popping out or get creative with those spore things on the Genestealer sprues: this takes more work but you can really get a lot of mileage out of those Rippers of yours this way. Do keep the ''50% of the model has to be [[GW]]'' rule and you should be alright.

Alternatively, should you A. Be Drug Dealer or B. Have a few spare kidneys/children you are willing to part with, you can buy packs of 3 swarms each from [[Forge World]] for [[GW|$38 US/£23 each]].
