Orc Boar Boy
Orc Boar Boyz are Orcs who have learned to 'ride' a War-boar into battle.
The hardest and biggest Boar Boyz are also known as Snortas whilst others are merely Gruntas. [2a]
It is in fact almost impossible to break in a boar, but fortunately Orcs don't feel pain much. Even so, the best they can hope for is that they will be able to hang on whilst the boar inflicts as much damage as possible on the enemy.[1a]
Most Orc settlements have pens for boars - loud, ferocious and smelly creatures whose violent nature is greatly appreciated by the greenskins. [1a]
