So I'm trying to make a list around the Parasite of Mortrex. I want the rippers that come out to be all specialty conversions, and I need ideas.
Bluetable had a great video on this, but I want more.
The idea is to make a group of rippers so distracting that the opponent chooses to attack them because he knows that what I spent a lot of time on.
Instead of the other models. So the more offensive you can make the suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

My current conversion is 3 rippers holding up a fourth wearing a salamander cloak, with a shoulder pad as a hat with a jaunty purity seal.

craft a camo cloak for each ripper and arm them with mini sniper rifles. SNEEKY RIPPAHZ!!!

Make some rippermon. Rippachu, Charipper, Reppir (You know, ekans - snake, arbok - kobra), Chikorippa, Garderippoir (From gardevoir - but don't you dare making my favorite pokemon look ugly! )

I say make them look like Worms. That, or Team Fortress 2 classes.

What, these worms?

I've got a bunch of the old worm rippers already. They're clinking mugs while another swims in a space keg.
The original idea had me making rippers that also served as objective markers.

Great ideas so far guys.

Yep. I want those. Spaceballs dancing Alien rippers.

Got this to make a musical objective, rippers infesting a Noise dread. Gonna take some work.

Make some rippers riding squigs or even grots.... or take Calgar and cover him in rippers, give some afros/ various other zanny hairstyles. Maybe even various Presidents.

Space Hulk theme Rippers.

The idea is Each ripper is made to look like each of the individual Termies from Space Hulk, or have the same theme from each one. E.g. A Ripper looking like he ripped open the slotta base ala-Brother Scipio, or is holding a phone looking device ala-Brother Omnio.

70s rippers.
Afros
Pimp Hats
Little platform shoes (Maybe with fish?)
Large Peace medallions
Protest signs (Make Bugs not war)

Space hulk rippers is the best one yet, but thats gonna be rough with little guys. I'm definately going to do that though.

I want to do rippers in go karts too for fast attack rippers.

I was messing around with reducing a tyranid devourer gun into smaller bits. Theres actually a little shoe, perfect size for a ripper on there. Its the ... I guess butt of the gun? Theres a little shoe on there. Looks a little cloggy, so maybe alpine rippers?

space balls!
"hello my baby, hello my honey..."

Top hat and monocle!

Have one biting a guardsmen's head off. Perhaps another wearing (trying to wear) a space marin helmet. Have some waltzing.

Instruments. Now.

That is all.

Orks arnt the only things made fer rockin! That would be cool. Even if you could pull off the cantina band from StarWars

I'm merging the spirit of the last two into what I hope is super awesome. I've got a ripper on guitar, and a ripepr on drums. The drums are multicolored space marine helmets, a la ewok party. I need a third on that base...

Bass on the base or a ripper with a mic?

I vote mic.

Yeah, as soon as I typed it I already knew mic.
Happy thanksgiving to Americans.
Sorry to Native Americans. (thanks for the corn)

MICRO DUNE!

Make a ripper bursting out of the ground with tiny..er..extra tiny Paul Atraides riding it.

Have two rippers with long hair dancing to the band.

The title of the thread may be misleading. I'd like "offensive" over "comedy". I want them to incite muttered comments of "cheeky little bastards!". The space marine helmet drum is a prime example of this. The terminator rippers is another good idea, because of the time involved with making them. It will be readily apparent that I spent longer on the rippers than any other part of the army, and tactically, I could care less about them.
But I want my opponent to think they're something special that has to die.

Actually, one of my mycetic spores has a three part "mouth", with a genestealer Paul riding it with a greenstuff desert suit. Adding a few more spice eyed rippers to the base is a workable thing.

I'm hesitant to have hair of any kind on these rippers. Afros, beards, etc, I'm passing on as ideas. I'm extremely curious as to how to make platform shoes with fish inside for rippers, druff.

I REALLY can not wait until these awesome Rippers make it onto Dakka. Here's to this awesome thread! *raises mug*

make a ripper exploding out the mouth of a dying warboss

Ripper riding inside the gutted open chest cavity of a marine, looking like he's tugging on stuff to make the body move!

or try to make him look as if he was rummaging around for some stuff like women do when searching in their handbag...

"i new it was there, saw it the other day..."

- Let them have their own little suit of powerarmour with their head sticking out, like Earthworm Jim.

- Comics Rippers ! I'd like to see a bulky green one.
Or batripper and the worm wonder.

- Tapeworm Rippers, cause chests and heads aren't the only thing they can burst out of !

Good idea on the first one!
Second one... thats gross. You're gross.

Gourmet ripper? At a little table with a napkin tucked in?
Rippers with a torn up section of base that looks like they're pulling back the plastic with their teeth?
