New Orcs and Goblins stuff is always good news for greenskins in the 40k millenia as well, since the both have the same looks! The new Orc boarboyz set looks good to convert as a Warbike and very suitable for a Snakebite/Feral themed Ork army.Check out the sprues on this thing!
Here is the description from the Games Workshop website :
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.
This box set contains five multi-part plastic Orc Boar Boyz. This set includes a host of interchangeable components that mean no two units need ever look the same. These include: three boar body types, five different boar heads, jaws and ears, a range of Orc arms, heads, weapons and shields, and all of the components needed to upgrade three of the Boar Boyz to a standard bearer, musician and Boss. Models supplied with 25mm x 50mm bases.
Five multi part Boar Boyz for retail price of $24.75 is a good bargain! (compared to 3 warbikers for $41.25 retail). Yes, there maybe no dakkagun on this set, but you can always get extra shoota bits from your bitbox or online bits shop and strap them on. There is a good 8 pieces of ork head and choppas in this set as well, where you can use it to add variety to your orks. The shields can be used as some orky glyphs as well. With some modification from a Ork Nob set and this one, you can make it look really good.
