I think that the Koala Bear's Boomerang should only be one-shot if it hits, as the point of a boomerang is to return to the thrower unless the target is actually struck.

In Capatlist USA you have to right to bear arms.

In Soviat Russia you have the right to arm bears.

Been waiting for this since you first mentioned it in a long forgotten thread a while back. Good show. Although, you mention a Bear Forge where the chainsaws are produced.. Can we expect to see a form of Mechanical Bear the size of a tank? Or something like this?

Crash Bash. Greatest game ever.

For those of you who do not know, that Polar bear's submarine was a boss. The submarine fired robotic polar bears that kamakazied into the player and exploded. It could also fire explosive rounds and destroy parts of the map in an attempt to make you fall into the sea. Joey, could this be done?

It was great fun. I never managed to beat the game when I was little.. I probably could now, but I have Skyrim, Anyways, don't want to derail the thread. Joey, but in a Bear Tank/Sub, that would be awesome.

Look.

I know you are all upset that support for Bears was dropped after the initial Rogue Trader rules.

I know you are all upset that Fan-Dex: Unbearable was incredibly under-powered with the release of the Grey Knights codex. But everyone ELSE'S codex suffered just as much, many (Chaos) even more than the Bears.

But this update to the codex is just over-the-top OP. Clearly, you need to scale things down a bit, if you intend to have it accepted on the local hobby scene. And you can just FORGET about taking it into Tournaments.

You've also forgotten the mainstay of the Heavy Support section, the Canadian Grizzly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_I_cruiser

Get cracking!

as a proud Aussie, I think you should make koalas better. I dn't want them to be the equivalent of MEQ scouts!! nobody takes scouts!! make them better so people will WANT them!! thinking koala slingshots would be cool. you know, like bear catapults, but moar shots. maybe Koalas could ride kangas (kangaroos) to battle...

Wild haggis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fictional wild haggis specimen, Haggis scotticus, as displayed in the Glasgow Kelvingrove gallery, next to a prepared example.[1]

Wild haggis (Haggis scoticus) is a fictional creature said to be native to the Scottish Highlands.[1][2] It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep (including heart, lungs, and liver).[3]

According to some sources, the wild haggis's left and right legs are of different lengths (cf. Sidehill gouger or Dahu), allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat, but only in one direction.[2][4] It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs. The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain (as seen from above) while the latter can run anticlockwise.[5] The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her. As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the haggis population are accentuated.[2]

and penguins need moar variety. http://www.freakingnews.com/pictures/44000/Penguin-War-Movie--44345.jpg I think ranged would be good.
