Aight, got an 1850 list. Since we have no idea how any of this will actually function, I included at least 1 of every unit, with the exception of Mr. Biggles (as a nid player since 3rd ed, I've never really been a fan of SCs, also I have no idea what FO slot he's under anyway)

HQ
1 Bear Lord w/ Bear Armor(2+/5++?) and Melta-bombs 220
1 Panda RageBearer 150

Elites
3 Badgers w/ Cete Lord 60
10 Penguins w/ bolters + sarge w/ meltabombs 245
10 Penguins + sarge w/ meltabombs 225

Troops
3 Brown Bears 75
3 Brown Bears 75
10 Black Bears 100
10 Koala Bears 100

Fast Attack
1 Bear Catapult 150
3 Bear Cyclists + Sergeant w/ MBs & plasma pistol 95
3 Bear Cyclists 60

Heavy Support
3 Armored Bears w/ Plasma Cannon 170
3 Chainsaw Bears 120 (extrapolated unit size from brown and armored bears)

Total: 1845

Just noting how many FO slots were completely filled, I think the max points this dex could possibly field (without Mr. Biggles) is probably gonna be somewhere around 2500. Make of that what you will.

Wish the glorious Bear Empire luck!

Mr Biggles transcends the force organisation chart.
That's a solid looking list

I'd like to play this army! Watch Koala Bears rip SM apart

just a quick question, why does the bear have "twinlinked" powerweapons? CCW's can't be TL as far as I know

How about some Pandareans

We need bears models. Anyone know where to find surplus bear models for cheap? I'd so make an army.

No polar bears entry?

Disappointing.

Also, Grizzly bears and armoured bears should be 2W

Hilarious. Hope they get that battle report up!

I support

At CoolMiniOrNot, but they ain't cheap. There are four types; the link takes you to #4. http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/28mm-30mm-war-bear-4.html

And this is why you never say no to panda.

I think the bears need more than one wound each

AWESOME

Needs more Lotso

You wrote this and didn't include Bearataurs?

Awesome so far, but needs care bears XD.

You made this thread and DIDN't include winnie the pooh?!!?!?!
You must make him right now!!! He is AWESOMES!

I shall have a go on giving out special rules, but stat line wise I have no idea. He should be fething awesome though, given his sheer epicness.

SPECIAL RULES: (these are all just suggestions, add in what you want. I'm also referencing rules from codices, though these scan be altered)

Independent character
eternal warrior

"think, think, think" - As a regular thinker (in his thinking spot ^^ ah, childhood memories) Winnie the pooh is a master tactician. As such he can give orders in much the same way as an imperial guard commander (though we may want to alter the effects of the orders, such as giving extra speed, making bears more ferocious in combat (one turn fearlessness/furious charge/preffered enemy ect. as we bears are more ferocious than hid in behind guns or cover saves)

"Honey" - as an avid honey enthusiast, Winnie can regain wound using the "regenerate" rule from the tyranid codex.

"The blustery day"- psychic power - pooh can invoke the power of the blustery day on whim, once per battle (although if the psychic test is failed it can be attempted next turn?) and causes all models (except those in the retinue) to be subject to the night fighting rules until the wind dies down, however friendly units may roll an extra d6 in their test due to their practice in windy conditions. The controlling player must roll at the start of each subsequent turn after the power is cast, and the winds remain active until a 4 is rolled

RETINUE: (the best bit)
These form a separate unit which Winnie may join. If he does so, all in the unit are granted a 4+ invulnerable save from the power of friendship.

Rabbit - as a great cook, rabbit grants the unit feel no pain. (stats of a penguin or a bear or a badger?)

Tiger - (can't think of stats) Tiger, due to his jumping abilities, changes the unit type to that of jump infantry (and/or provides them with fleet?) he is also a close combat menace and has a power fist (by jumping on people with his tail)

Piglet - While appearing small, piglets sheer cuteness can destroy enemies at a long range (count as melt gun/plasma gun/lascannon?)

kanga - astropath rules?
roo- master of the fleet rules?

Eeyore - the miserable nature he shows makes the enemy want to commit suicide. Due to their lowered guard, the enemy unit has its leadership reduced by d6+1 until the players next turn (psychic power?)

Owl - owl is an incredibly wise being. he knows the ins and outs of every enemy encountered. as such the squad has preferred enemy towards everything

All just suggestions.

(possibly all should be armed with honey bombs, which get thrown onto the enemy to attract bees? assault 2 4+ poison weapon.)
