[Archive] the golden compass

the trooper:

after seeing the golden compass,i was thinking about bears,gaint,white icebears with armour would make a cool army i thought.

so after doing some research i found a way to make them,i would build them from the icebear that the kislev tzar rides on.

but then i realised that i needed rules for them,ogre kingdom is in my opinion the best army for them(great bears that charge the enemy=great half-man beast that do the same).

is it possible, it would look cool on the table an army of bears and it is not so hard to make.

sorry for my bad english i am from belgium.

Malificant:

minotaur beast army. ive seen it done and it works fine. mark nurgle for all the armor so u get 4+ armor saves.

Hashut’s Blessing:

Minotaur rules work better because the ogres don’t have a good enough armour save, nor leadership IMO. (Still confused as to why the Golden Compass and not Northern Lights…) But, get picks up ASAP. (The advantage of using expensive pointswise models is it reduces the number of expensive moneywise models :D)

Malificant:

dont use tzar boris’s bear. use reaper bears. make sure to distinguish them though.

Hashut’s Blessing:

Good point. And, how do you plan on sculpting armour? Greenstuff? Plasticard sheets? reaper’s will probably be cheaper too…

the trooper:

i tought unarmored bears will be bulls and armoured ones ironguts.

armour i can make out of plastic card only the helmet wil be greenstuff.

i just love the concept of an army of talking polarbears.

i am done reading the books and wow they are mighty.

Malificant:

which is why minos work better. higher weapon skill, better armor save (nurgle give 4+ w/ light armor), persue 3d6, and give you room to add humans to it.
