Orc Boar Boyz

These Orc Boar Boyz were on display at Warhammer World.

Orc Boar Boyz represent the devastating, bad-tempered shock cavalry of the Orc & Goblin Tribes. Riding into battle atop ferocious War Boars—beasts so foul-tempered and thick-skulled that they are just as likely to gore an enemy as the Orc riding them is to hack them apart—these heavy cavalry units excel at breaking enemy lines through sheer brute force. A well-timed charge from these heavily armoured green skins can easily trample the disciplined infantry blocks of the Old World into the mud.

Feral Ork Boar Boyz

Having seen the plastic Orc Boar Boyz I decided that a pack wouldn’t go amiss so that I could put them together as Feral Ork Boar Boyz.

You get five models altogether.

There are three plastic sprues for the five models.

I have made and painted some Boar Boyz for a Feral Ork force already and you can see how I made and painted those here.

Having decided to make some more, unlike my other three Boars, for these models I also ordered some metal Cyboar heads from the old Snakebitez bitz range – this was before Games Workshop rationalised their online bitz store. So the Boars went together pretty easily. Though I had no tails! On the plastic boars, the tails are on the head sprue and I only ordered plastic boar bodies. Ah well out with the Green Stuff!

The models were given a white undercoat.

This is my favourite which has a lot of armour plates and cybernetics.

Snakebitez Ork Boar Boyz

This week Games Workshop announced the release of some new Orc Boar Boyz for Warhammer Fantasy Battle.

Orc Boar Boyz are rough, tough and very determined. They ride into battle atop War boars – evil-minded creatures that will take every opportunity to maim, bite and kick the enemy of their Orc masters. Boar Boyz are the shock cavalry of an Orc and Goblin army, and they love nothing better that to gore, stamp and inflict damage on the enemy.

These are very nice looking plastic miniatures.

I can’t be the only Warhammer 40,000 Ork player looking at these new models and thinking time to add some Boar Boyz for my Feral Orks.
