BEAR CAVALRY
Erm...Polar Bear Cavalry to be exact.
Pictures here. (the folder isn't public yet, I know)
The minifigs aren't included as the creature, they're just the riders. Stats are as follows (remind me if I miss anything, I'm not so hot at creature stats):
Size: 2
Structure: 2 (due to the armour) I'm still debating this, as it may be too much
Base cost: 4
Speed: 5" The armour and guns weigh it down, not to mention polar bears are already huge beasts
Subjugated Half-minds. Due to the vicious nature of polar bears, do NOT let these things roam free, unless you have a brilliant (and most likely suicidal) plan.
Guns (I consider the guns together, as ONE weapon):
Cost- 6
Use- 6
Range- 2d6"
While the guns are somehow miraculously hooked up to the polar bear's brain, the rider has control. To fire the guns, the rider physically hits the polar bear in some way so to aggravate it and cause the cannons to fire.
Total cost: 10 cp.

what's the gun damage? also, 2d6 range would get VERY annoying to roll every time you want to make an attack.
as for armor level, strutcture level of 1 is probably better. that's still 1d10 armor, which is plenty for an armor plated bear. 2d10 would be something like an armored car's armor, which this bear does not have.
creature stats you did good, but i'd bump speed up to 7" and calculate CP from that, and then drop 1" for armor and another inch for weapon weight to get back to 5. you may also want to add a 1d6+2 claw or bite attack.
construction wise, i am in awe. i really need to utilize rubber bands in my constructions more often, and this may be the inspiration i needed. and i don't think any better riders could have been picked.

Alright, thanks for the suggestions.
Here's the revised stats:
Polar Bear Cavalry
Size: 2
Structure Level: 1
Speed: 7"
Cost: 2
Weapons
Guns:
Cost- 6
Use- 6
Range- 9"
Damage- 2d6
Maul:
Damage- 1d6+2
Range- Melee
Blah, I was reading the rules to refresh my memory, and I misinterpreted the equation for weapon range. Based off what the rules say, the range would be 12", but that seems a tad much so I'm going with 8 or 9 inches.what's the gun damage? also, 2d6 range would get VERY annoying to roll every time you want to make an attack.
Like I said, I was iffy on the structure level, so I decided that I would wait to see what someone else thought of it.as for armor level, strutcture level of 1 is probably better. that's still 1d10 armor, which is plenty for an armor plated bear. 2d10 would be something like an armored car's armor, which this bear does not have.
I made the speed 5" assuming that you'd be leaving the armor and weapons on, but I guess it's wiser to just make the base speed 7" and subtract from there. I thought of the melee attack originally, but it slipped my mind.creature stats you did good, but i'd bump speed up to 7" and calculate CP from that, and then drop 1" for armor and another inch for weapon weight to get back to 5. you may also want to add a 1d6+2 claw or bite attack.

I would use different guns on the side but maybe huge is your thing. The polar bears look really cool. Maybe you can add some saddles or a seat like this one.

well I thought of some thing more slim like a 4 stud long machine gun that can be made out of 5 small parts. I'm to tired to post pictures now.Bonn-o-Tron wrote:I was originally going to use chairs like those, but I got tired of hunting for ones with matching colours. As for guns, what do you have in mind?

i think he nailed the guns pretty well. they're big guns for a big bear, and emphasize that this is a bear with guns, as opposed to guns on a bear.
