wolfdaddy2002 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 First off: I haven't played yet, was supposed to this weekend, but my rulebook didn't come in. But my wife, twisted gamer that she is, came up with two ideas for a new troop for the Neverborn. Suicide Bears: Yes stolen from the idea of suicide bombers. Small teddy bears that charge, grab on, and explode. To balance them out I'd say limit their number per group. Second, give them a good chance of exploding if hit by a ranged attack. Swarm Bears: Small teddy bears, (4-5 on a base) armed with knives, that charge an attacker. I'd say, each wound / hit point they suffer removes one bear. Anyway these are just thoughts. I hope you all like them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Smigs Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 alas, a "charge and explode" model exists already (See: Arcanists: Electrical Creation) and Swarm Bears sounds like the Spider Swarm or the Hoarcat Pride. sounds like you're playing the wrong faction.

Major_Gilbear Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 alas, a "charge and explode" model exists already (See: Arcanists: Electrical Creation)Also Ice Gamin and Ice Golem. And Witchling Stalkers, but they're Guild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Khan Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Also Ice Gamin and Ice Golem. And Witchling Stalkers, but they're Guild. What about steamspiders? They have latch on and self destruct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenstuff_gav Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 just because another faction has something, isn't a reason another faction can't... :angel: personally, i'd go for something unusual; 40mm Base of bears / dolls. give 'em a spell that any ht 3 mini can throw them (think the Flesh Constructs' Fling in reverse), then another spell that negates all cover and restricts movement within 4" as a swarm of bears grasp onto anything nearby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Swarm Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 How about a great big (50mm base) bear that has a (tough to get off) spell that allows them to swallow a target whole? (Kinda like Pine Box, but using different stats. Maybe df vs df to get out?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizyx Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 that is a lot of halfs Did we ever find out if it is half man, half bear-pig or half man-bear, half pig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 What about steamspiders? They have latch on and self destruct... Sorry man, I thought Smigs had already referenced those! As for the Neverborn Manbearpig, I thought I'd helpfully attach the concept artwork: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibonean Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Man Bear Pig would be an awsome figure but only if it looked exactly like the concept art! :alcoholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 So basically you guys are talking about the next rule book having a new Neverborn character, who we will call Gal Ore, that allows you to recruit pigs from the mercenaries, and has a special ability where you sacrifice Teddy, a warpig, and any living male model within 6" to summon a Man-Bear-Pig. I'm in for this. Maybe the model can be released on April 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you all like them, Suicide bears; not really the Neverborn style. Other factions are more the explodey type because they are constructs that are just obeying the person that made them (except Papa Loco, who is just a crazy bastard). You gotta keep some distinction between factions or they all just start to blur together. Besides, Baby Kade loves his Teddy. If he had more Teddys, he wouldn't want them to explode!!! Teddybear swarms, however, that would be neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfdaddy2002 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Wow! Thanks everyone! I still haven't even GOTTEN the rulebook yet. The Swarm of Teddy's is a cool idea. Thanks for letting me know that exploding bears are not the Neverborn style. I don't even know what faction I'm going to play yet, I was just putting out some ideas for Wyld Games. So the Neverborn aren't into suicide types? Good to know. Hopefully my book will come in today! I'm looking forward to trying the system out. Once I play it a bit I'm sure I'll come up with some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
