The cool thing is, that in a couple of years time GW may well sell Dwarf Boar-Riders for The Hobbit range, since Billy Connolly has stated that Dain Ironfoot will ride a great boar into battle. It is therefore reasonable to assume that his warriors will do the same thing.

Here's a promo pic from 'The Hobbit:Kingdoms of Middle-earth' with the boars:

The same stats as wargs sound good, they should have the same ability to attack their enemies. Perhaps a charge bonus (but it might be to overpowering) because of their tusks? Or the same rules as the Haradrim camels.

What about -1 for an attack +1 to wound?
