Scibor Send Bears to Space!
July 27, 2011 by dracs
Scibor have two new releases for all you Sci-Fi wargamers.
Firstly there is a Roman Sci-Fi standard bearer.
This standard bearer is sure to make a nice eye catching piece for your armies.
However this next release somewhat over shadows it. The Sci-Fi Celtic Warrior... on a bear!
Yup, Scibor have sent their chubby bears into space and I have to say I don't particularly like it. It's not just that the bears look like vicious hamsters, but also the pose of the warriors themselves.
Maybe I'm being over critical, what do you guys think of these? Let us know your thoughts below.

The pose of the warrior looks stiff, and he looks out of place on the Fantasy bear… Even the Standard Bearer is stiff, albeit beautiful. Scibor has done better !
BoW Romain
They’re stiff because it’s really cold in space 😉
Or because they’ve just drunk a Coors Light…
?
What you doing Warspawned
If you are gonna talk to yourself at least say sumthin! 😛 lol
The bear looks remarkably like the Beavers from the Narnia films.
Which probably wasnt intentional.
The trouble with the rider is that he doesnt look like hes riding the thing, he looks like hes from another sculpt entirely and just plonked on the top.
I love a lot of scibor’s stuff, that one just doesnt work for me.
The standard bearer is very nice though.
the rider looks like hes is pooping. But nevertheless I tend to like their miniatures. and also like the bears.
the standard-bearer could be one of the custodian guard
they look like coypu.
That standard bearer looks like a Nazi Space Roman who’s had his head bashed in.
What ya talkin about foo, thats Mr.T on the bear!
OK know that I got that out I was hoping for the space bear rider to have the bear look sci-fi as well. I know it might take time for him to make the master, but I think it would pay off more than any other model he has in his line so far. Just my 2 cents.
Makes more sense for a mount imho
Even if it looks like a hamster, it is a bloomin big un and would have me worried.
Would be really cool to put then in a giant armoured ball to run around in and squish the enemy. Giant hamsters with armoured balls would certainly be a show stopper!
i like the two models. but the bear really looks funny, but maybe its because of the rider… i think its the same bear as the dwarfs have… and they look good togehter!
i very nearly bought the bears and the celtic torsos a few days ago. i;m certainly glad i didn’t.very excited. as for the pose, nothing a little repositionaing won’t solve
