A comparison of Boars...Black Orc Warboss Style

I recently posted the Blorc Warboss on the right. I thought this might illustrate why I rejected him for my army. The one on the left is on the new GW boar and was a commission build for the VC Bashin' Orcs that I have building.

The Blorcs are definitely not an issue with me. The Boars....err...boar and feral pig are.


The other thing that is killing the one on the right for me is the lack of dynamics. The feral pig is boring. The Boar on the left is dynamic and much more exciting.

I will say the one on the right is a much easier conversion.

So there you go, a Boaring comparison. Ewww that was bad.

War Boss on the new plastic Boar

I've been wanting to work with these new boars since I saw them come out. They are very dynamic in pose, much better than the old ones and much better than the current Warboss Kit.

This boss was built on commission for the same person who commissioned the two shamen and two VC Orc boy units.


I decided to us the black orc torso with the armored legs of the normal boar riders.

That means covering the joins of the legs to the blorc body. Covered that with armor plates and mail.

I decided to add a bunch of glyphs as you see on the model's helmet, elbow, sword, and shoulder.

To continue the whole battling of the undead them, I put a broken tombstone on the base. This I will use again with the Wolf Riders.

I do like how the armor plating looks on the boar's head. I'm definitely planning to do some more of that.

Also when you do not use the boar rider arms, you will need to add some fur on the ridge of the boar's back.
