I said a while ago that I had a special orc unit planned and this is they (or rather 'he', for now). I liked the old idea of Boar Centaurs, but never thought it was very 'Dwarfy'......it is quite 'Orcy' though. This is at a very early stage. The green stuff isn't a sculpt, it's filler and a base for some chainmail that I will lay over the top.
The green stuff at the front, as I said, is going to take a chainmail barding. I think I will put some sort of armour down the spine as well to tie the boar body in with the black orc torso. I have enough for 5 of these right now, with more stuff due to be delivered any day now. I thought I could use them as Boar Boyz in games where people don't use personalised rules, which nobody should complain about. As with all my other units I'm working on rules and fluff for these guys.
He's at a very early stage, but hopefully the chainmail and back-armour will tie the model together well and provide an interesting and intimidating unit. When the barding is on the model's balance will shift forward slightly (as it will fill-out the body I had to trim away) and it should give the model a more nature balance; hopefully whilst retaining a "spliced" look.
