Title: No Boar riders in the Goblins & Orcs list?
Post by: blacksmith on 25 March 2015, 09:27:43 PM
There are Boar Riders in Pendraken's catalogue but I fail to see them in the Orcs & Goblin list. Leon, it would be really nice to have their stats and include them in the Orcs army.

As getagrip says above, I'd imagine you could use the wolf-rider stats for them?  The boar-rider figures (and the Orcs in general) won't be moving over to the new Warband ranges, so they weren't included in the army lists.

I could do that, but I was thinking of two class of cavalry for Orcs, Wolf riders as light cavalry and boar riders as heavy charging cavalry.

Couldn't you use stats from another list's heavy cavalry?   Problem is though,  when you start tinkering with army lists,  you can seriously affect game balance.  :-\

I think a way to treat them & the goblin chariots could be to say that they don't exist in large enough numbers to have a whole base. They could be used on wolf riders bases to signify the unit has Hero, the Boar riders &/or chariot's could be the hero & his retinue.

You could also add a few to each base of wolf riders to simply add a bit more interest to the base.

Allies are a core rule - so you can have a unit of heavy cavalry from another army for stats, and use Boar Rider figures.

So there's no difference between the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf?

No, we live in a multicultural society FK, and as such, I would ask you to respect the rights of any pig, regardless of ethnicity.

All pigs are created equal.

I think I'll do what Fred suggests. Thank you all.
