MechRippers

[TheRippersAreComing]

I made this little guy out of an old metal car part i found for... some sort of Warhammer model... I think its for Orks but I took a ripper's tail off and glued it on, I thought of calling him Bob The Mech-Ripper and giving him the ability to kill the crew of Immobilized vehicles and be able to fix them so that it can Drive the vehicle around, turning the tides of war, I also thought of giving it the ability to ignore difficult and dangerous terrain with it's "Road of Flesh"

One thing led to another and I finished my Bob in less than 2 hours and had alot of fun making "him".

Maybe suggestions for Rules? Id love to see an opponent accept to this as a house-rule character/unit.

Rippers already aren't slowed by difficult terrain. Once your repaint, repost it. It's a little hard to tell what's going on with the angle and pic quality. I think it is on the wrong base size though. Rippers go on 40mm bases (terminator sized ones).

Ah yes, I haven't read the entry on Rippers recently, and I see what you mean with the larger bases, but I havent got anymore Warhammer Epic vehicles to make it into a small group, and it looks small even on the standard bases, I would consider changing it if I could find some more of these things online, and making the only differences being, gaining infiltrate, losing Deep Strike (Because how does a ripper driving a little car jump out of the ground).
Ill look to see if I can find these pieces online, and I will paint Bob in my personal colour scheme, I'll be sure to post some pictures. If I do find some more of these metal car pieces though I will look into making a squad of them! Thanks for your suggestions!

Your conversion makes me immensely disappointed that Rippers aren't in Mario Kart. Amazing how well he fits that vehicle.
