demonlizardfromouterspace Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Heya, I szarted recently a Bonesplitter army. I wonder what would be a good division of my Riders into Boarboys and Boarboy Maniaks. I have 1 Box of Boar Riders (=10 Riders), and I am planning to get at least another Box of 10. To the experienced Bonesplitterz players, how did yo build your boar guys? 10 Boarboys, 10 Maniaks? Which weapons did you put on the Boarboys, Spears or Chompas? I think the spears are looking cooler and you got a little bit distinction to the Maniaks. But are they worth it? Orks Orks Orks! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos Ares Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Welcome to the greenside! Personally I run them in squads of 5 and use Spears & shields on the Boar Boys (rule of cool!)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to hear people build models cause they like their look and not simply because they are good gamewise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanamorf Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I love my maniacs and run 20 most of the time. Opponents just do not expect them to be good. And against monsters.... Well they are a joy. I have another 10 ready to roll once the Kunnin Rukk gets more appropriate points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wanting to try out an Icebone Warclan and was going to run 4 squads of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanamorf Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I run them as 2 10s although I have run 10 and 2 5s before. I prefer 2 10s as they have a little more staying power when they get somewhere. 15 wounds is just not enough with only a 6 save. It would be fine but they usually get focus fired when people realise how good they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilddog Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I think the units fulfill two different roles. The Maniacs are a supplemental offensive unit so I have found them best with 10 or more. That way that they have a little more punch when they hit and survive enough to make full use of their end of combat second swing. The regular Boarboyz are more a chaff unit so I like to keep them in units of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I found regular boarboys to be fairly useless and rebuilt mine into units of ten Maniak Boarboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
