>I printed a pretty nice metal slug and am going to paint it up. Found some STLs for a bunch of metal slug characters and some other vehicles. If I wanted to play a war game with them, what would be a good ruleset?
There are quite a few basic-bitch platoon-level wargames that you can write up stats for. SF and hypermodern both. In Spectre or Asymmetric Warfare you could do it up as a light IFV with an MG and howitzer, for example. It's going to be extremely powerful until a drone strike or ATGM shows up, but ain't that always the way?
By the same token you could stat it up in WarEngine, or Renegade Scout, or any of the half-dozen early 40k heartbreakers, as some kind of Walker/slow tread vee. Mechanically it might as well be a Dreadnought. Hell, a couple of the vehicles in 1e Warzone are effectively just Metal Slugs, and the big Bauhaus tank is an MBT-sized one. For more skirmishy games you're probably best-off toning it down a little and using the stats for whatever mid to heavy robot equivalent are in the game. TNT's got big assault droids that can take heavy weapons, that sort of thing.

Other than Ariadna, the Metal Slug people are way undergunned. Even in it they'll look low on gear, and the silly shit like the camels with MGs is going to be even more out of place.
