Howdy all,
In my efforts to add to my Greenskins forces I have become enmaoured with the 4th edition savage Orc sculpts by the Perry Brothers...and have now managed to tack most of them down. My most recent addition are copies of all 5 boar boy sculpts....and they are just as full of character as the infantry models....except for one thing....
....those god awful things that GW tried to pawn off on us as "boars" in the this time period....Christ they are horrible! My 5yo actually asked "what is that daddy?" When I pulled one out of the box....when I responded "it's a boar". She said "no it's not.....that's a boar" and pointed to one of my marauder boar riders....
....so I decided to try and mount them on some spare 3rd edition boars. And I need to know if you think they work. Here is one of the rank and file troops...with the abomination in the back ground
As you can see orcs have grown quite a bit in 4th Ed....but I think this works for me...I had to bend his legs in a bit...and I may need to GS a few gaps around the saddle...but it works.
...where it gets. Bit dodger is with the champion...who is even bigger
From the front
Maybe his pig could be bulked out a bit with some shrunken heads and other spoils of war?
Here is the unit
What do you think? Can you suggest other boar options?
Cheers,
Blue
