GWG 10005-0 - Rippers Miniatures Game
(80 page softback, including 16 pages of full-color, $24.95 USD; ISBN: 1-930855-69-9)
Just in time for the awesome new movie, Van Helsing, comes Rippers, an exciting new miniature battle game from the makers of Deadlands: Great Rail Wars, and using the Savage Worlds skirmish system! (Rippers is a complete game — Savage Worlds is not required!)
The Rippers are a super-secret organization led by Abraham Van Helsing and his adopted son, Johann Van Helsing. Aided by Dr. Jekyll, the Rippers are able to "rip" the DNA from the horrors they hunt and inject it into their own slayers!
In the miniatures game, the monsters have come together to fight back against the Rippers, forming the deadly "Cabal." Vampires fight alongside werewolves, ancient mummies, staggering zombies, and even Jack the Ripper to turn the tables back on their hunters.
Rippers is an 80-page book with 16 pages of full-color pictures of the minis in action. It's supported by four Warband Sets (see below) containing all the figures you need to get up and playing in minutes! Best of all, these clear, high-quality containers are their own built-in carrying case for your heroes and horrors once you've painted them.
Best of all, Rippers features all the cool extras our fans loved from the old Great Rail Wars — unexpected events, Strange Locales such as haunted houses and restless graveyards, Savage Tales, and even campaign rules!
