All of these units can have banners and musicians that give them +1" charge and +1 Bravery

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_orruk_savage_eng.pdf Savage Orruks]''': (Battleline, 165pts, min 10) At two wounds a pop minimum, there are no truly cheap units in the army, but these guys are the closest.  Armed with chompas (blades) or stikkas (spears), they each get 2 attacks with the stikkas having one worse to wound roll but a greater range. Other things of note is +1 to wound if the unit charged. In adddition to coming with standard banner and muscian for +1 to charge and bravery. A good improvement their save is now a flat 5+, instead of just in combat, making these the closest thing to cheap anvils (especially if you call a waaagh for that sweet 4+ ward). <s>In bigger units stikkas are best, 32mm bases will make attacking in two ranks with chompas difficult especially with coherency.</s> GHB2022 fixed this with The Bonds of Battle rule, they can reliably fight with 1' weapon.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_orruk_arrowboys_eng.pdf Savage Orruk Arrowboys]''': (145pts, min 10  conditional Battleline in Bonegrinz) How the mighty 'ave fallen. Lost a third of the shots allowed, from which they lost the special conter-Monster rules. Now they simply improve their rend by 1 when targeting monsters. Even in Bonergrinz they are barely any better (simply regaining their lost attack they used to have for having 15 models), bringing their shooting up to 3. In addition they only get +1 to charge now with their banner instead of 2. However it is not all bad. As they now all gained an extra melee attack means they are now almost as good as Savage Orruks in combat (simply having a worse save and 1' melee range). Meaning they can be more versatile than what you would expect from a shooting unit. However it is highly recommended if you are commiting to them that you bring them in Bonegrinz. That extra shot is essential to help with their poor accuracy, and you can argue the inherent extra attack is better than the +1 at 15 or higher they used to have. Like many things in the book also went up in price, so consider wisely if commiting to them as they are very much a "go big or go home" type of unit.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_orruk_boarboys_eng.pdf Savage Boarboys]''': (140pts, min 5, max 15 conditional Battleline in Icebone) Basically the Savage Orruk onna pig.  Extra wound, 12' move and 3 (4+ 4+ - 1) additional piggy attacks, boyz with sticka(only) and the boars get + 1 to hit <i>and</i> wound on the charge. Overall very fast and very hitty. Not as strong as Gore-Gruntas but still deadly. Synergizes well with Glowy Green Tusks spell to give the boars -2 rend and if taken in Icebone (which incidently makes them battleline) they also get mortal wound output for a surprisingly good anti-armour force. Throw on a Waagh on them and and they won't die. Though make sure you get Glowy Green Tusks off, it makes them so much better on the charge.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_orruk_boarboy_maniaks_eng.pdf Savage Boarboy Maniaks]''': (155pts, min 5, max 15) Maniaks lose the shield save and stikka option, but their chompas get another attack.  They also get +1 attacks on the charge so less defensive but more damaging.  They're also a little braver than the non-maniak boarboys. Overall more offensive than standard boarboyz but may face some coherency problems in large sqauds due to a lack of spears. Like your Maniaks best to pile on the buffs on them and get them into the enemy as quickly as possible as they will die even faster than standard boarboys otherwise. Can be good for getting stuck in when you call a Waaaagh! as well.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_orruk_morboys_eng.pdf Savage Orruk Morboys]''': (155pts, min 10, max 30  conditional Battleline in Drakkfoot) In a similar vein to the Maniaks, Morboys are Savage Orruks with one extra attack, no shield, and a bit more bravery and lost the spear option. Lost their old ability to get +1 to hit if a monster died around them. Instead they now add 1 to attacks characteristic if they made a charge in the same turn. Which is I guess you can say arguably better though lost a little of their flavour. Obvious candidate for Power of the Were-boar spell as these guys want to be be doing nothing but chargeing. And since they can put out a metric ton of attacks on the charge they are obvious targets for a Wardokks save buff or a Maniaks Weirnobs Bone Spirit +1 to wound spell. Get these off with a Bonesplitterz Waaagh! and you got a pretty deadly unit. However their lack of rend could be an issue outside of Icebone subfaction if up against heavy armour (especially when coherency rears its ugly head as they lack spears). So be aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Since they are battleline in Drakkfoot clan they are also getting {{AOSKeyword|Galletian Veterans}} keyword that grants them Bonds of battle special rule, that allows them to reliably fight in big units in two lines. (each one of them have 4 attacks on a charge - literally buckets of dice)
