What should I do with them! Anyone got fun idea for using these adorable little buggers on the board and/or off?

Ripper Voltron!

Well, I -was- going to give my Hive Tyrant a commissar hat. Guess he'll have little dancing budy at his feet.

I saw someone make them into earings once, that was a neat idea >

Step 1 - Glue them to small rare earth magnets.
Step 2 - Get multi-wound models, and drill holes into their bases equal to their wounds
Step 3 - Glue same sized rare earth magnets into said monstrous creatures bases

You now have Tyranid themed wound counters on the models bases.

Win,

Awesome!

I've always wanted to see a legitamate ripper swarm on a massive diorama. Would be nifty to see some poor shmucks getting eaten. But I guess I have a few delusions of grandeur. . .

The problem with doing a riper diorama is the GW rippers aren't very good. The individual Forgeworld rippers are far better for that, but very expensive.

Another way to do the wound counter thing if you don't want drill your nice bases with them is simply take some spare 25mm bases and turn them into 2/3/4/6 wound counters, and sit them near each multi wound model.

I guess you get what you pay for. . . ah well.

I think the would counter thing is a great idea. Simple and handy. . . but the diorama would be better! Just sayin. .

Model up a Parasite of Mortrex and use the Sarge is Acting Strangely rule or whatever it's called. Spawn hordes of em!

I loved the adorable little ankle-chewers when i ran Nids, but they suffered from having not-so-good rules, then and now.

If that rumor about them being able to eat objectives had been true... ah well..

Anyone need Rippers? I have a bunch of them, and a drastic lack of cash

I second this.. Parasite is a quite fun unit to use in just about all of my bug armies.
