Well I'm just adding this in because I would like to see boar boyz on the table. Here my take

Boar boy & Runt Herd:
WS4, BS2, S3, T4, W1, A2, Ld7, Sv6+
Nob:
WS4, BS2, S4, T4, W2, A3, Ld7, Sv6+

Unit type: Caverly

Special Rules: Mob Rule, Furious Charge (No need for Waaagh as they are Caverly)

Equipment:
Slugga and Hunting Spear, the Runt Herd is armed with a Grabba Stikk

May include 5-20 boar boyz at 12pts per model
Options:
For every 5 boar boyz 1 may be a runt herd for free

1 Boar boy may be upgraded to a Nob for 10pts
he may exchange his hunting spear for a Big Choppa for 5pts or a Power Klaw for 25pts
he may take eavy armour for 5pts or a boss pole for 5pts

Hunting Spear: S User, Ap-, Poisined 4+

What does every one think. I was going for a fast moving tar pit type feel with the unit that regulary go out hunting and corner there prey and attack.

I don't remember if cavalry has Hammer of Wrath, but Boar Boyz should definitely have it
And you should give S+2 AP5 on the charge to the spears instead of poisoned 4+, feels more orkish
Fluff wise, I wouldn't give the option of a eavy'armor to the Nob, but instead to upgrade his Boar to a Cyboar ! Maybe counting as a Cybork Body, or simply as a differently named Eavy'armor

I like every single one of those ideas.

Maybe a cyboar could be 15pts and give him +1T, and a 5+ invo save or FNP both would be cool.

I considered making the hunting Spears count Power Lances that would be cool

Another idea is that if a Warboss takes a Cyboar he could make boar boyz troops

Great just 'meber thou a boar is nothing more or less than a squig thats big nuff to carry a boy..not a squiggoth that can carry many boyz..mean critter that adds an attack in close combat ;o) ....

make it T4(5) ...SV 5+
(5 when mounted) on any boar ..and have the Cyboar add a 6+ invul...(dont want it to strong)

I used to run a feral ork army in 4th/5th ed. The boar boys were pretty much normal ork boyz but with cavalry.... what was frightening was the nobz mob bodyguard on boars. Eavy armour + big choppas = a lot of face breaking.

The warboss on a cyboar was mean with a capital WAAAAAAAGH!!!! power klaw attack squig and cyboar (3+ save and extra attack I believe) gave him a ludicrous amount of attacks on the charge

I remember that chapter approved army. It was written by Space McQuirk. I don't think that was his real name but he was the author. That Warboss was good but he was the only access to a Power Klaw in the Army and it cost him 30pts as well. I
should see if I can did up that old Pdf from somewhere.
