These Savage Orcs have been around for eons and it is great to finally have them finished! The plan is to use them with Dan Mersey’s “Strongsword” set of rules.

Savage Orc Boar Boyz are those mobs of Savage Orcs whom have taken into the battlefield ontop of mighty War Boars, fulfilling the role as lightly-armoured shock cavalry for many Greenskin armies.

Unlike other Boar Boyz whom have to tame their mounts before riding them, the Savage Orcs takes an entirely different approach in riding their mounts into battle. Instead of traditionally breaking a Boar as a mount before combat, the Savage Orcs prefer instead to stalk and ambush a wild boar and headbutt the beast into submission. Once captured, many Savage Orcs adorn their malodorous mounts with good lucky charms, use dyes to mark out tribal symbols upon their fur’s, or push bones through the creatures lips, ears and nose.

All of this simply makes the already enraged swine even angrier when it wakes up. When not sought for battle, these Boars are left free to roam and forage upon the Savage Orcs tribal territory. It is for this reason why Savage Orc camps are often surrounded by free-ranging boars, who hung around simply to feast upon the piles of food that their Savage Orc caretakers often leave behind or have thrown away.

When battle looms over the horizon, these Savage Boar Boyz once more subdue their mounts and direct them into combat. See WFB Fandom
