Pigaro qua, Pigaro la

Remind me to never again to take on fifteen models in one go...

(And yes, I realise that statement sounds incredibly wussy after Kraken's 50-model romp through the zombies. A Rompie, if you will)

I usually like to paint in smaller groups, finishing them entirely before moving on. However, this project required everything to be assembled in one go - the new boars are nice, but they are hell to rank up - so fifteen boar boys it was, and it feels like it's lasted an age.

First up, the spear-armed boar boys...

You may recognise the middle one from September 2012

Three conversions here: a musician and a standard bearer demoted to the ranks.
The one on the right just had a weapon swap, so doesn't feel so bad about it.

The spear-throwing boar boy was a late addition (had the idea for a conversion as I was painting the unit, then saw the musician model on eBay ... kismet), and he came out quite well. The spear-chucking arm is pretty muscular for the model, so I'll say I modelled him on Hell (Boar) Boy.

Quite pleased with the re-sculpted face.
The Green Hand of Doom is, of course, insanely out of proportion.

I reckon Savage Orc Boar Boyz will be most useful in small, single-rank units (since back ranks don't get Frenzied attacks), so I've based them 6-wide with a musician.

The battle cry is "Apple Sauce!"

The second unit has fewer conversions, and are armed with clubs (so they might get proxied for two hand weapons if I ever feel like toying with the Wild Abandon rule).

The model on the right is a rarity: a Leofa conversion in metal, circa '99.

And three of the original Savage Orc army that started all this.

The thunder of hooves trot-trot of trotters.

Those of you skilled in arithmetic will note that this only adds up to twelve models. I have three more command models to finish. The ones above are just the ... ahem ... grunts.
