For as long as any Ork can remember the warboar has
been a favored mount of the warrior Ork. It is a fierce and stubborn beast, with
sharp tusks, a thick skull, and the odor of a dung heap. Although some Orks, notably
the Evil Sunz, shun warboars in favor of bikes, buggies and other mechanical contraptions,
many Orks prefer the good old warboar with its familiar smell and unpredictable violent
temper. The Snakebites have a long tradition of boar riding and make by far the best
Boarboyz and their breeding stocks are famous for their immense size and vicious behavior. The best boars are selected by the Meks and Painboyz and turned into a strange amalgam of animal and machine known as a cyboar. Basic "improvements" to the boar usually involve its tusks being replaced by stainless steel ones, the fitment of a combined riding saddle and a body carapace and the back legs being replaced by wheels or a roller. However, the single most important addition is a cunning device triggered by a large red button fitted into the cyboar's saddle, which injects a controlled amount of chemicals into the creature's system to produce a temporary burst of extra speed and ferocity. On many cyboars the chemical injector is the only improvement that is made, which makes them almost indistinguishable from a normal warboar until they suddenly start foaming at the mouth and hurtle across the battlefield at an incredible speed!
Any Boy may replace his boltpistol for a bolter at a cost of 1 point. In addition, up to one model may be given a weapon chosen from the Special Weapons or Heavy Weapons sections of the Wargear lists. A Snakebite Mob may be mounted on boars at a cost of 6 points per model or cyboars at a
cost of 15 points per model. All of the models in a mob must be mounted if any of
them are, you may not leave some members of the mob on foot, but models may be mounted on
a combination of boars and cyboars. |
