Bear Riders of Awesome! 77074 Dain Deepaxe and 77072 Orc Maurader- very converted

[odinsgrandson]

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

Thanks.  I felt he needed to look pleased with himself, and I hope I've pulled that off.

[Kuro Cleanbrush]

Love them both!

Bear in a gas mask FTW.  I love 'em both, tons of character and great paint jobs!

Is that Dain Deepaxes shield?

 

 

Those are gorgeous.

Awesome work!

 

I keep wanting to get some of those bears, but the price is well, pricey.

 Ever since I first saw those old Rumple Minze peppermint schnapps ads of the armored woman with an eye patch and  sword riding a polar bear, I always wanted to make an rpg character who rode one... Unfortunately, I've never been in a campaign where a polar bear would have fit in...

All kinds of awesome! Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!
