Oathsworn Bring A Burrows & Badgers Bear To Salute ’23
March 21, 2023 by brennon
Oathsworn Miniatures recently showed off some of the impressive miniatures coming to Burrows & Badgers at Salute 2023. They are going to be running a fun demo game at the event which features a long-awaited creature, the Brown Bear!
Brown Bear // Burrows & Badgers
Considering the scale of the other animals in Burrows & Badgers, the Brown Bear was always going to be a pretty sizable creation! Coming in as a "giant" within the world of Burrows & Badgers, it seems like this Brown Bear has seen some action and claimed some prizes in his time.
Brown Bear // Burrows & Badgers
I really like the attention to detail on his trousers and the extra accessories that he has haphazardly tied to his outfit to protect him from harm. The use of the grave as the head of his club/axe is also pretty on point and reminds me of classic Warhammer Giants. The whole thing has got that vibe which is neat.
Michael is going to be figuring out the rules for this fellow and then adding him into a demo game against some (probably) panicking foes. What do you use to take down a Brown Bear? A cannon of course!
Tarrin Crum, the Mole Engineer, has been tasked with taking down the Brown Bear and so has commissioned this new invention. He is ready to field test it and see if his weapons are able to bring down the giant.

It looks like Tarrin is going to be watching from afar as his able assistants do all of the busy work. As well as the crew for these cannons, Crum has also hired a band of expendable Tunneljacks who have been told that they need to distract the great beast!
Tunneljacks // Burrows & Badgers
The demo game is going to be set at night and will feature the Tunneljacks trying to distract the rampaging Brown Bear. If the artillery fails then they might also get tasked with attempting to lure the giant into a pit trap or two!
It seems like the Tunneljacks and Mole Engineer (plus Cannon and Crew) are going to become available at Salute (all things being well!) and it would also be great to see the Brown Bear come up for sale as well.
Could you be tempted to snap up these miniatures or indeed just play the demo game at Salute?

The bear looks “too long” for my taste. Even thou the sculpt is nice it just looks “wrong”
which is weird because it’s correct
He does look a bit more leggy than other models.
I think it’s because we’re used to seeing them hunched over. I think it fits with the proportions for the other creatures in the B&B range but I can see why he might be a bit lanky!
I think it’s because when you get to a certain age you expect your trousers to be at the same level as your nipples.
I thought so to. If you look at a bear it has very short stubby legs (sorry for any bears reading this but it is true) the bottom half of this bear is more human scale than a bear. The bear also has wider hips where as this narrows more like a human (unless your kim kardashian).
I’m really not sure what you’re seeing here – the hind limbs on this sculpt are short, not long! The length on this sculpt is in the torso, not the legs.
And bears do not have wide hips; check a skeletal image, bear hips are narrow. When you see a photo of a standing bear looking bottom heavy, it’s because there’s a lot of fur there, plus extra fat ready for hibernation. And this guy’s wearing trousers, and is not about to hibernate!
Have to agree with you, it looks like it’s wearing a corset.
BEARrows and badgers!
I’ll get me coat.
If I could have a Bear warband (so one model) and just Badgers, I’d be happy.
With the bear as a giant, should the mole engineer be featured with a pot as helm?
The bear could work as a Beorn substitute for Middle Earth.
Ooooooh!!! Bear… Me wants. ?
