Orc Warboss (War Boar)
Pure muscle and rage, Warbosses devastate enemies with their brutal melee attacks.Orcs are led by the biggest and brawniest of their kind. These hulking individuals have pummelled their way to the top in a culture where only the strongest survive. Orc leaders do not rise above the knock-down brawls so common amongst their race, they thrive on them - at least until they are toppled by a still mightier challenger. Having established dominance over all competitors, Orc leaders take control of a mob or, if they are strong enough, an entire tribe. Any who question the right of the leader to rule must be slain, driven off or spectacularly beaten into submission.

Abilities
- Smash 'Em Faster
By the bellow of an angry Warboss, there’s always that little bit more murderousness to be squeezed from the boys. - Foe-Seeker
There are those who wish nothing more than to be at the heart of battle, seeking foes to vanquish.
Attributes
- Encourage
This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses. - Hide (forest)
This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
Strengths & Weaknesses
- Armoured & Shielded
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc. - Armour-Piercing
The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
