Jolemai Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Boarboyz BoarboyzBoarboyz nobz For those of us who have them, I hope this thread can be a quick discussion on how best to use/update these for 8th. Counts-as Warbikers or something else? Depending on the above, how would you convert them to be relevant? i.e if Warbikers, how would you represent the dakkaguns? Snakebite rules are fluffy but what Kultur would be the most effective for your choice of proxy? The old models where very brightly painted. How would you go about it if painting them today? Oblong/biscuit bases or oval ones? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351042-boarboyz-in-8th/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triszin Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 count as bikers for snakebites sounds accurate! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351042-boarboyz-in-8th/#findComment-5186952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I bought FW autocannon for use on my 3 Goregrunta-turned-cyboars. Mount them in pairs and they look the part :tu: I’ll be using them as Snakebite nobs bikes or more likely two warbosses on bikes (index) and a painboy on bike. I have six bikes from Speedfreeks to either kitbash with AoS boarboys into Snakebite cyboar-counts-as-warbikes...or do them as Bad Moons.

Jolemai Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 count as bikers for snakebites sounds accurate! Oh yes it certainly sounds right and that will always be the most important thing. However, is it also optimal? I bought FW autocannon for use on my 3 Goregrunta-turned-cyboars. Mount them in pairs and they look the part I’ll be using them as Snakebite nobs bikes or more likely two warbosses on bikes (index) and a painboy on bike. I have six bikes from Speedfreeks to either kitbash with AoS boarboys into Snakebite cyboar-counts-as-warbikes...or do them as Bad Moons. FW autocannons <- is it one of those or something now OOP? Would you be kind enough to post pictures of your models? No idea how one would mount weapons on the back of boarz. Perhaps a servo-harness style rig? *** *** *** Another thought, if a number of boars were lashed together to form a chariot (or one was suitably converted over from Fantasy), what would that run as? A Warbuggy from the Index or something else? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351042-boarboyz-in-8th/#findComment-5187099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I used the Kalibrax autocannons. On the other Goregruntas I might mount them one per side, for a change. The cloth will have clan decoration and was added to fill the gap between the cannons and the armour plate. The model itself is still WIP. I’d say a pair of boars pulling something (an engineless Trukk, for example) could count as a trukk or buggy...or a pair of those big goregruntas could pull a battle wagon...

FlamingDeth Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I can't really think of anything other than bikes that would even work. I guess if they were cyboars with bionik wings or rokkit packs attached to them they could be deffkopta and you could make jokes about flying pigs all day. As far as pulling something, I imagine if you had a squig catapult on the chariot then you could run that as a sillyword squigbuggy and it would be the most snakebitey thing.

Guest Triszin Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 you could always do flash gits riding them? the boar counts as the CQC weapon, and the flash git riding htem provides the dakka Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351042-boarboyz-in-8th/#findComment-5200138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Loki Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Could use the rules for stormboys and just not jump out of planes or over things (basically not FLY) Fast with the appropriate choppy weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351042-boarboyz-in-8th/#findComment-5202794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I've always used Boarboyz as warbikers, works a treat and as Keirdale's shown, a decent autocannon or Chaos heavy bolter (belt fed model) works really well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351042-boarboyz-in-8th/#findComment-5206799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Some really great ideas here folks, keep them coming! you could always do flash gits riding them? the boar counts as the CQC weapon, and the flash git riding htem provides the dakka That sounds like a pretty good call for those of us with Boarz and bitz...
