Koalas should be poisoned or have poisoned weapons as an upgrade since many have STD's.

Panzer Bear

WS5 BS4 S6(10) F13 S11 R10 A4

Equipment
2 DCC weapons

2 hard points

options

hard points may have:

Bamboo cannons
R24 S6 AP6 heavy 10

Panda guns
R12 S4 AP3 heavy 4

will think of more weapons for to morrow

Did anyone else get the urge to check if these weren't just SW rules?

(this may be lost on people not from the UK tbh)

Pudsey Bear:
Elite Slot 1-3 per slot (may be split like Sanguinary Priests)
WS4 BS4 S4 T4 W1 I4 A2 LD10 3+ save

Equipment:
2 MediClaws (Poisoned Claws wound on a 4+)
Bearbandage (grants 6" FNP bubble)

Special Rules:

Care for the little ones!
if attached to a non bear unit he grants them the stubborn special rule on his leadership. Also if the unit is wiped out whilst he is attached to it and the Pudsey Bear survives he gains the Furious Charge and Preferred Enemy USR's (these are lost if he attaches to another squad after this event)

Needs more bear cav- (looks at first page)- never mind.

i thought this was great seeing in how when im finished getting 2500 of IG im going to do a space wolves army converted to space bears....also my name lol

I only read page 1 but really? Penguins with WS5? Seems a little far fetched to me...

This. Pudsey as a bear medic-utilising boatloads of steaming donor money to heal the wounded in battle.
Heck yeah.

Smokey the bear

Independent Character, Special Character

Immune to Flamers/Meltas, has flamer attacks, prevents flamer/melta wounds on a nearby unit on a 4+ (player must say "only you can prevent forest fires!").

Joey, we need rules for these guys -

Paddington Bear


And of course Whinnie the Pooh

Agreed. Honey Badger will charge anything ( fearless ) and a Heavy Support bear could be a Grizzly, Also the Spectacled Bear could be Air support considering they chill, eat, and sleep in trees for most of there life.

You could have Wojtek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojtek_(soldier_bear or more amusingly http://www.badassoftheweek.com/voytek.html ) for artillery support. :-)

WHERES MY PUDSEY DAMMIT!

Anyway, yeah...Pudsey..Yeah.

Wait, how do you exchange your claws for plasmaguns!? Wouldn't that hurt?

Now, if they were weapons that they hold, similiar to brass knuckles... that I could see!
"Sorry Chief, mom had me declawed! Can I have one of those energy guns instead?"

Great codex, can't wait for GW to start casting some models. I would definitely go Apocalypse with bears!
A giant metal bear-titan, like Voltron or Power Ranger-esque!

As one of the head makers of this Codex, I TOOOTAAAALLLYYYY agree it is stupid. There, we have a second opinion

Chaos bears?

The "head makers of this codex"? How do you work that out?

Otter craftsmanship exceeds that of the Imperium, indeed even the Eldar.

...This is the funniest thing I've seen all day.

On a separate note, the proper term for 'rerolls to hit' on melee weapons is Master-Crafted, not Twin-Linked.

You gonna give this guy a lecture on semantics?

actually, there is no proper term for allowing any and all hits to be re-rolled in cc. Master-crafted only allows one hit per assult by that model to be re-rolled.

Hey, so I'm gonna try and playtest an 1850 list from this dex against my buddies T-sons this weekend. Should be awesome just from the sheer ridiculousness of it. I will say, the Bear Army reminds me rather forcefully of nids, in large part due to the lack of ranged weapons on many choices, and rather poor armor saves on almost everything, aside from one HS that gets a 2+, and one elites that gets a decent invul.

Still, to actually use this I'm going to have to make a couple of assumptions, namely, that everything has unit type "beast". Also, "Bear armor" upgrades the bear lord's save to a 2+/5++. All of the "twin-linked CC weapons" allow rerolls to hit. Bear catapult has I3, and fired bears can assault the turn they land, but may not run. Cyclists are I4. Armored bears are I4.

Also, what is the unit size for brown bears supposed to be? A lone T4 W1 Sv5+ model with no ranged attacks has almost no purpose on the battlefield.

I'll post my proposed 1850 list later today, and the battle report hopefully sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Texan_Tyrant is going to play me haha, I'll chime in and let ya'll know how this goes. I'm expecting a total gakshow btw, but we'll see.

In any case, hilarious list. I cannot wait.

Didn't expect anyone to actually play with the list, have ammended original page with unit types (nearly all beast, penguin and koalas infantry) and missing initiative, also bear catapult is artillery.
Let me know how it goes!
