This gives them the choice to either break off and forego shooting the next turn (barring certain rule breakers) or try and kill off the Rippers. In either case the Rippers will be subject to a massive amount of small arms fire, which is exactly how you want it: if the Rippers are being shot your large blobs of infantry aren&amp;#039;t and you can close in for the kill. If the Rippers aren&amp;#039;t killed off and they lose their initial target they can use their speed to get to another infantry unit and try and tie them up. As such, it&amp;#039;s best to use Rippers as a single large unit preferribly at max size: for less than 120 points you&amp;#039;re getting a bullet sponge of 27 wounds. This might not seem much given that for 3 points more you can get 30 Termagants with Fleshborers, but those don&amp;#039;t enjoy the fun being able to [[Deep Strike]] in and distract the enemy without a major point increase and are 6 attacks behind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;The best way to use Rippers is to slap Kraken onto them, have them pop up and tie up an enemy ranged unit.

Coming in units of 3-9, Rippers put you back a mere 11 points each. This does not grant you a very &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;specatcular &lt;/del&gt;profile: A4 looks interesting, but at S3 AP0 D1 attacks paired with WS5+ means you&#039;ll rarely hit more than 2 attacks per base, and a 3 model unit will hit 4 times on average. And while they have 3 Wounds with a mere T3 and a 6+ save means that they are one of the flimsiest units in the game. For two additional points per model in the unit you can give them Spinemaws, a Pistol 4 that shoots at S2 AP0 D1 at a mere 6&quot; range. This might seem even more pathetic until you realize that this doubles the number of attacks you get at very close range. Do note that at S2 you&#039;ll be needing 6+ to even wound a [[MEQ]] or anything with T4, so don&#039;t expect a lot of mileage out of these guns against Marines. Against the IG or Tau however this is a whole other story, since against T3 you need a 5+ instead. Before you try and take down enemy tanks with 9 Rippers, consider doing the math: 36 attacks at WS5+ means 12 hit, and only 2 wound since you&#039;ll need 6+. After that the enemy gets their full save, so if you&#039;re lucky you&#039;ll land 1 wound. And that&#039;s ONLY if you lose no Rippers when you charge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rippers work best in swarms. Coming in units of 3-9, Rippers put you back a mere 11 points each. This does not grant you a very &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;spectacular &lt;/ins&gt;profile: A4 looks interesting, but at S3 AP0 D1 attacks paired with WS5+ means you&#039;ll rarely hit more than 2 attacks per base, and a 3 model unit will hit 4 times on average. And while they have 3 Wounds with a mere T3 and a 6+ save means that they are one of the flimsiest units in the game. For two additional points per model in the unit you can give them Spinemaws, a Pistol 4 that shoots at S2 AP0 D1 at a mere 6&quot; range. This might seem even more pathetic until you realize that this doubles the number of attacks you get at very close range. Do note that at S2 you&#039;ll be needing 6+ to even wound a [[MEQ]] or anything with T4, so don&#039;t expect a lot of mileage out of these guns against Marines. Against the IG or Tau however this is a whole other story, since against T3 you need a 5+ instead.
