Description
Themselves a variation on the hopper bug, there are several forms of the common rippler, each developed for slightly different uses. The rippler bug is built a little lighter than the hopper bug and is thus more agile in flight. However, it is also more susceptible to enemy fire and large numbers can be brought down in concentrated attacks.
When a colony begins breeding rippler bugs, it will do so in great numbers, aiming to literally fill the surrounding sky with these airborne attackers. With sufficient preparation, a colony can make effective air support almost impossible for any attacker and cause ground forces to suffer correspondingly. Ripplers mature at a frightening rate, far faster than the larger hopper bugs, allowing these huge swarms to be produced at great pace.
For greater tactical variety, Rippler Bugs can be upgraded to be armed with ranged poison spines, or to use a kamikaze attack mode that can knock down even TAC Fighters.
Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
