Yes and no. Thing is, Savage Orcs usually shines with a Savage Shaman who can provide them a Shrunken Head -- and sure, even though it's possible to give Savage Boar Boyz all that it's just too many points and you'll get a better result with them being on foot. I think you can get about 40 Savage Orc Big'Uns for the same price as about 15 - 18 Savage Boar Boyz (not Big'Uns).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389074/3201969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389074/3201969.page GMT Re:Savage Orc boar boyz http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389074/3203742.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389074/3203742.page GMT Savage Orc boar boyz 15 Boars is more than enough, so the Boars come in quite a bit cheaper than the big uns on foot (140 points cheaper).

IF you're not going to run the boars as the big uns, I'd give the big uns spears. 5 wide, I'd rather have 20 S5 over 5S5 and 20 S4.

Because boar boys have the speed to hit in the flank, they are a lot more survivable on the charge (no supporting attacks from the enemy), they can't be stomped on, and get a 5+ armor save on top of everything else.
Add to that, they are swift striders and have a much easier time killing what breaks.

Comparing Cav to infantry is like comparing gnoblar sharp stuff to cannons. They both act in the same phase, but fill totally different rolls.

I'd probably go with the shield also, a 4+ will help vs. missile fire. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389074/3262796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/389074/3262796.page GMT
