Not sure if this is the right place, but...

I see on the GW website that Rippers are available in a finecast pack, but what other kits do Ripper Swarms also come in?

Also, how many per kit?

Thanks!

They come in the Termagant, Tyranid Warrior and Genestealer boxes. I think they might come in the Hormagaunt box, but I'm not sure.

Also, don't buy the finecast Rippers. You'll accumulate plenty. I've accumulated 10 bases, and I haven't even broken 1500pts yet. You generally get 4 to a box, enough to make the unit and a base of rippers.

The battleforce has some.
Other than that, I can't remember any other kits with them...

Thanks. That helps a lot.
I was only really interested in the Rippers for basing my Nurgle army (giant maggots ftw?).

However, if you only get 4 per box then I don't think I'll bother...

They come in the tyranid battleforce IIRC...

Edit: Ninjas...ninjas everywhere

Not many Tyranid players use them. I likely will only pull them out for some Apocalypse hilarity. Look on ebay, I'm sure you'll find Tyranid players selling bags of them for cheap.

Yeah, that is my next destination! ^_^

You can get a single one pff the raveners, and some other stuff. Those singles were meant to represent Symbiote Rippers in 4th ed.
