At last, my longtime dream of bear cavalry with AK-47s, RPG launchers (hunting lances) and molotov cocktails (melta bombs) has been fulfilled. Sorry about the blurry, bigfoot-like pics, I will try to get better ones later.

The bears are made by Deezee Miniatures.

I love it! Valhallans were always my favorite of the IG types and the bear models work out great.

**kaiservonhugal**

Brilliant - absolutely brilliant. How did you do the RPG's and AK's?

**yakface**

As a fellow Vahallan player, I salute this awesome concept carried out to great realization.

However, why not attach the pictures to the post instead of linking to them? That way Dakka will automatically re-size the images to a better size for viewing.

**Sonobovich**

Thanks! The AK-47s are here; the RPGs are from the same company.

Yak, thanks for the feedback. I edited the pictures. Is this better?

**Agandhjin**

Truely inspiring work you've done here! Kudos all around!

Whenever I saw that picture I always thought that bear riders would make great Valhallan Rough Riders. Great job all around on this one.

**BloodDefiler**

Looks good. Wish the pics were a little less blurry, just to pick out the details, but overall they look really good.

**Agamemnon2**

Awesome. Truly awesome. I'll have to check Deezee out.

**nathonicus**

Congratulations, you have realized pure awesomeness in physical form.

I want Valhallan Bear Riders in the next codex!

**Valhallan42nd**

I demand plastic Valhallans with Plastic bears!

**grey_death**

Expect to see your idea copied all around the internet now! Awesome job.

**Cheese Elemental**

Bear cavalry! Woot!
That inspires me to make some different RR mounts. I'm thinking wolves for Valhallans...

**vodski**

Just a thought did you ever consider polar bears?
Great work by the way. as grey death said this idea will live on in other armies around the world.

**Blackbone**

So perfect, so cool. The riders poses are just right and the weapons you used really complement them.

I like the brown bears!

**tinfoil**

First rate work!
I particulalry like the bear/rider rearing up.
Seriously, these are really characterful.

**Skorpion**

Bear cavalry. Awesome.

That's it, no way am I using horses for my rough riders.

**Sturmtruppe**

Amazing work. What models did you use for the bears?

It's at the bottom of the first post, under all of the pictures:

You have an advantage. They will almost certainly get to charge, your opponent will feel guilty about removing such models from the table, at least the first time.

**alarmingrick**

beautiful!! absolutely beautiful!!

i just hope Steven Colbert doesn't find out!

"the new #1 Threatdown...Valhallan Bears!!"

**Gary**

Awesome work

Have you named the bears? those models deserve names!

**Kapitan Montag**

Awesome!

As they say :

"Bear Cavalry - You're pretty much

!"

**smart_alex**

Those are AWESOME!!! Where did you get the bears? Man those things are really so cool. I want them.

**Kung Fu Jim**

Great models, instead of Rough riders, use them as Ogryn...I've bear hunted, they don't go down easy.

**Rangerrob**

Those are freakin' sweet!

awesome job!

**viney**

So Cool! I think this idea will copied many times over! Way cool customs.

**commando charlie**

awesome makes me tempted to do this type of stuff but i dont have the money to start another 40k army :(

**Count Bonchula**

those are sick.

last time i saw a bear in a tabletop game it was when my black skaven was chopping down a kislevite bear in a mordheim campaign several years back.

I think my rats would have a tougher time with these beast though. well done.
