* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' gives us the 12th Vegan Rangers, a mercenary command that's somewhere between three and four regiments strong and has survived over 300 years of warfare and In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'', Rangers have their own planet to boot--no other mercenary unit can make that sort of claim an interesting place in its entirety. Averted with the Waco Rangers, who, while a regiment-sized RagtagBunchOfMisfits with great raiding skills, got so wound up in a bloody vendetta that it blinded them to danger, especially when dealing with the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Clans]]. This got 90% of them killed in a single mission before finally being wiped out to a man when the Jihad started. Takes a turn for the silly with the Arcade Rangers, so named Dwarf society because they spend most of them were recruited from the local virtual-reality ''Battletech'' arcade games of their home planet. Ironically, IKnowMortalKombat turned out to be in full effect; these former mall rats turned out to be a surprisingly skilled if extremely unconventional team precisely because they'd had so much practice fighting alongside each other time outside the Holds, on the surface. Their roles are securing the land outside the Holds, protecting Dwarf merchant caravans, reclaiming lost Dwarfish treasure and trying crazy things to see if they worked in hunting down creatures like goblin mobs and lone trolls (and sounding the arcades.
* ''TabletopGame/TwentyThreeHundredAD''alarm if a larger creature or army is set in close by a future where Texas Hold). Despite their clear importance, [[DudeWheresMyRespect being a Ranger is independent again. The Texas a thankless job]]; a lot of Dwarfs even suspect that many Rangers are cowards who dishonoured themselves but didn't want to take the national police force, including on Texas's offworld enclave. One published adventure, called ''Ranger'', deputizes [[DeathSeeker Slayer Oath]] so they became outcasts instead. Rangers and Slayers ironically tend to get along well, as they can both understand how it feels to not fit in anywhere.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' has Rangers, a troop choice for theplayer characters into [[SpaceElves Craftworld Eldar]]. They're Eldar who have decided to leave the ultra-regimented [[GenerationShips Craftworlds]] to seek excitement and adventure out in the galaxy. Between their highly accurate long rifles, their ability to traverse difficult terrain easily, and skills at infiltration and survival, the Rangers make for excellent scouts, assassins and guerilla fighters, and they will often return to deal with a difficult alien species.their home craftworlds to aid them and fight for them. There is also an elite version of the Ranger, the Pathfinder, Rangers who have been Rangers for so long that they will never willingly return to their craftworlds and have centuries of experience; just small groups of them have been known to harass and stall entire [[RedshirtArmy Imperial Guard]] columns, [[BadassArmy exacting devastating tolls on their numbers, supplies and morale while receiving very few casualties themselves]].

As teens they were resistant to the mind-controlling powers of the Super-Brain, an alien aligned with the Axis Powers, and they were outfitted with bullet-proof, allegedly-patriotic costumes. Unfortunately two of the three boys got killed off in their fifth issue, when the Japanese captured them and used them for bayonet practice, but the survivor went on to fight in an actual US Ranger unit.
