Orc Boar Boyz

are a melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Boar Sty or Pig Jousting Arena
==Description==
Most Orc Boar Boyz mobs have colourful titles - "Da Tuskers", "Snortin' Wreckas", "Line-Smashas" and so on. Many bear crude board imagery on their banners and shields, depicting tusked skulls, bloody hoofs, and the like. When not carried in battle, such gear of war hangs atop the stockade pens that enclose the war boars. It is common practice to stack any trophies, like severed heads or enemy banners, around the boar enclosure. Boar Boyz take advantage of their elite status, lording it over all other Greenskins save leaders and Black Orcs. It is natural in some tribes for a mob of Boar Boyz to develop into Big 'Uns. The combination of especially large and powerful Orcs atop war boars makes for even more devastating charges and, not surprisingly, even greater swagger and bravado around the Greenskin camp.
==Attributes==
* Shock Cavalry
==Strategy==
Like any shock cavalry, they are best used to hit an enemy unit then running after ten seconds. They do their best work hitting missile units and units already fighting your boyz from behind. Be sure to keep an eye on them because they can't survive a protracted engagement.
This variant of the boar boyz has the highest melee defence at 22 which shows that this unit is not meant to be used as melee cavalry nor should it focus on winning a cavalry engagement without support from other units.
