https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/10/protective-mother-bear-cuts-off-draculas-romanian-castle In what sounds like a plotline from the World of Darkness, an aggressive mother brown bear has caused Castle Poenari, used in its time by Vlad "Dracula" Tepes, to be declared off limits to tourists until her cubs are grown.

My Iron Kingdoms RPG group sometimes can’t hold back. When we saw that Borka: Vengeance of the Rimshaws was riding a polar bear… well, we had to figure out how that might work for us. Luckily, we have a very good GM who is willing to make up some rules in the name of Awesome. And then it fell to me to create some awesome minis featuring our heroes riding bears. I grabbed a couple bears from Scibor (they’re very large) and put a couple of Reaper Bones minis on them- then did a lot of sculpting. Here are the results: First off- the Gobber Man-at-Arms/Duelist/Horseman: And our Trollkin Alchemist/Earth Sorcerer/Long Rider

The bears are from the seven years picnic series from Eureka miniatures. This is a army paint job, just base colors and a army painter dark tone wash. I did not want to spend to much time on them, but for table top quality i am happy with them.

This is another assortment of tabletop figures for (RPG) game play...all are quickly painted so they look good enough on the (3D) game table; they are as follows: 1 & 2. Goblin Coldriders (the goblins are old Citadel figures)...(I do not recall who made the Coldones). 3. My (3) bears...don't remember who made them. 4. A pair of Violet Shriekers...don't remember who made them. 5. Grenadier (Fantasy Lords/Monster Manuscript)...(3) figures; 1. Ghost 2. Phantom Slayer 3. Banshee
