I told him to mount it on a bigger bear to run as Canis Wolfborn (who he is obviously parodying), he likes how bad the name is.

I've seen them, but they're way too big and way too expensive for my uses. I also want to do a counts-as Marine Centurion squad to run with them as tesla troopers. In other words:

I was sure there was another, cheaper option that I'd heard of so I kept looking, and behold!

Dunno about the proportions but they're cheaper at least, and arguably more IG-looking.

I dig the Ramshackle bear, I just wish there were more poses. Part of me wants to be a GW purist about it like I am about so many things, but the only GW bear model that's ever existed to my knowledge was a mount for a Kislev character, and naturally would be obscenely expensive.

Merry Christmas all! I already received my present as I've been on holiday so wouldn't have been home to pick it up - 3 heavy mortars and 3 Thudd guns with extra Kreig crew :toot:

Assembled and painted some of them, looking forward to raining death upon the enemies of the Emperor extremely soon!

The idea was to mount heavy bolters on their backs as counts-as ripper guns. Now that there's plastic ripper guns I would probably just use those instead.

Seriously, when was the last time an army on foot that didn't move 12" was anything but complete dogshit? I guess 4th edition if you count Chaos Daemons, but they did Deep Strike shenanigans anyways so it practically doesn't count. Before that... 2nd edition, I guess? Ugh.
Hang on, Tyranids were great in 5th! Granted that doesn't really count because Genestealers could charge out of outflank and Hormagaunts had a threat range of 17-24". I miss 5th ed :smith:

I dunno about you, but I'd be pretty scared to face down a pure admech army with about 10 scoring obsec T7 monstrous creatures plowing their way towards me.

Who are also BS5 and shoot 48"

If they WERE, or like thunderwolves, then gently caress yeah that'd be so silly it's awesome. But they're not. So it's relegated to stupid.

Aren't they literally space wulf marines that go insane and then turn into dogs, which are then strapped to the front of a hover sled 'just cause'?

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

I thought it was 3 units of each, not 4. But yeah, that's a really cool formation.

Probably 4 each because the sacred number 8, etc.

Any size restrictions on those units? I'm imagining a horde of footslogging 5-man squads and it's... funny? A hassle to swat them all away? Sure as hell not putting them in rhinos.

Is that only on an 8 on charge distance, or 8 or more? I'm guessing the former, but hoping the latter.

That's pretty cool. I'm hoping in the next codex that the Numbers bonus will return. As it loving should be. Some cool dataslates or formations where you have to take them in the same number but they get cool abilities that'd be awesome.
