Blue's Boar Boy Battalion Bash!! Full army reveal and Challenger Wrap up post (1204 pts!)

 Well...here we are!  

This Challenge always seems so easy at the outset...and perhaps it remains that way for some of the competitors...but for me this year the challenge became...umm...more challenging as the months went on.  Like several others have stated I had much bigger plans at the beginning...I have an whole additional unit of converted savage boar boyz to add to this army that just didn't make it across the finish line with the rest of the herd.

Anyway...the point is that we made it!! Fuck yeah we MADE IT!! congrats to all to completed the task...

...and nothing but SCORN for those who fell by the way side! (I'm looking at you Street!) 😜

Well...now to the important stuff...

THE PICTURES!!

Obligatory Posed shot of yours truly...with the herd.

Cheers,

Blue

P.S. Keep an eye on my personal blog for Army shots that include these boar boys and the swarm of Marauder Goblin Wolf Riders I painted in 2020.

Blue's Marauder Boar Boys, Leader Month (320 pts)

Leader month

Well...here we are! I wasn't 100% sure I was going to make it this year!  

But! I'm happy to present my final submission for this years OWAC....and you might say I saved the best for last because this months post is the Command section for my entire army.  This little group includes the General, the Army Standard Bearer, and 3 Snortas for protection...all mounted on BARDED boars!  how cool is that?!?!

Here they Are!

The General sits atop an Albino Boar of immense proportion...the Boar is clad in scale Mail and the General swings an enormous blade. 

This rider was originally intended to be mounted on a Wyvren (MB8)...but I like him as a leader for my Boar Boys and he is mounted on the boar that came with the Marauder Boar Boy General (MM22/6)...who I have retained for this unit as the Standard Bearer

And here is the aforementioned Standard Bearer...he comes mounted on one of Clam's Barded Boars...as will the rest of the this unit.

 

 

And here are some individual shots of the rest of the crew.

 As you may have noticed a couple of these are "conversions" to being boar boys.  Both the first and the last of these three figures are potential crew members of the Marauder Orc Battle Chariot (MB6). the archer option was incorporated into the mounted archer unit of this army...and the wolves were used in the wolf boyz units painted in 2020. (NOTE if anyone has a spare of the Driver with whip for this chariot model please let me know...I have a boar with his name on it!)

 So I obviously have a little bit of basing to finish up before the full army reveal ...and just in processing these images I've seen a few things that I need to clean up (base edges etc.) ...its a little obvious that I was rushing to complete this months troops!

Also I completed this big batch of shields that will be used to finish off the rest of the troops. 

Points: 

• Level 20 General and 4 Snortas all mounted on Boars with Barding 284pts
•  18 Shields for Gruntas and Snorta 36pts
•  Total 320pts
  

I'm excited to get these all on that table and get an ARMY shot!!

Congrats to all who made it!!

Cheers,

Blue's Boar Boys Rank and File month 4 (last one!) (222 Points)

 This was a challenging month....many distraction and low motivation.  But it is done (-ish) and time to move on!

April will be my last Rank and File Month with 8 more Boar riders added to the growing force.  Essentially this finished the second and third units for my army, the first being the mounted archers discussed in the March post.

The 8 boar riders painted this month represent the last four for both the hand weapon unit and the Spear unit.  All 8 figures this month are straight-up Marauder Boar Riders straight from the mind of Trish Carden.  The only Odd-duck, is the standard bearer for the Spear unit that is basic conversion...the unmodified version of this figure will be in coming next post. They are mounted on Marauder Boars with a few of Clam's Boars added for some much needed variety.

Here are the 8 newly painted Marauder Boar Boys

The new Spears....

The new Hand Weapons...

 And here are shots of the two units they now complete.

 I'll have more individual shots in the future on my personal Blog...but I had to share this one with you.  This Boar Boy goes by the name Harrin Stephens...

 Here is the Points Break down

 Points:

• 4 Snortas w/spears (no shield)  100 pts
• 4 Gruntas w/hand weapon and Standard (no shield) 122 pts
  
• Total: 222 pts

Alright, enough for this month...bring on May...that's going to be my command section for the army.

Cheers,

Blue
