[[Boarboyz]] haven't been mentioned in core Ork fluff for quite some time. While they were cool in their own way, it didn't really ever make sense for Orks to be riding Earth animals in the first place. Well, as of 9th Edition it seems that Boarboyz have been retconned and/or [[squatted]] for good, because [[Squighog Boy]]s have now been introduced as a far more [[awesome]] type of Ork heavy cavalry. Squig Hogs are tougher, larger, and far more dangerous than other types of cavalry such as a horse or warboar, and they can eat pretty much anything that fits in their mouths (including the rider, if he fails to keep his mount in line). However, the horse still has a modest speed advantage.

[[Beast Snagga]]s use them as cavalry like the Imperium's [[Rough Riders]] and they are ''thicc'' enough that a [[Gretchin]] can hop on as well. Snaggas who ride these guys are called [[Squighog Boy]]z. While Squighog Boyz can belong to any Klan, they are presumably most common among the [[Snakebites]].

Crunchwise, Squighogs have a pretty nasty bite of S6, AP-1 and D2, meaning you should be able to dispatch the now tough-to-kill [[Primaris Space Marines]] as well as other MEQs and GEQs consistently. What you want from it however, is the fact that these walking fungal bacons are allowed 2 additional attacks every time the unit fights. Combined with the additional weapons from the Ork himself and you get a nasty cavalry unit.
