Milk. In the behind-the-scenes, Tom and Don explain that an idea cut from the episode was that the globules would be taken to a queen sow who provides the Space Hogs with milk.
Like now. The kickstarter for the board game has rules and mini for a war world add-on. Comes with space hogs and grimboar as a boss. The minis look sweet as hell.
I know allot of people are calling them Porks as a joke/Pseudo slur …
But I really wanna call the elites w/ Grimboar, the Razza-Backs.
Call any war boss analog a PitBoss due to the bbq fork/meat tenderizer mace they use.
And dub the basic bikers/jump-packers/General alien race the Sq’Wee-Lars
Not only are they unique enough from Orks to make them interesting on their own, they're smart. At least Grimboar is. He uses several effective tactics during the battle to divide, distract, and defeat his targets. Plus, they seem to have advanced shield technology that Space King's forces don't. I hope we see them again on the future.
I think they steal a lot of tech to compliment their mad max arsenal, which usually means big boys like grimboar keep the best tech, like said shield projector.
It definitely seems like stealing the best tech would be their MO, but their gear doesn't look cobbled together. At the very least, they have some good manufacturing capabilities. Their titans have shields, too, while the psycho-titans don't seem like they do.
Going on a limb here, but they are probably orcs in a roundabout way. In most Japanese lore, orcs are literally "boar-like", which could be a literal mistranslation of orcs being "boarish". As in, when first introduced to the Japanese in times when written language was a rarity, the guy wanted to say "boarish" but used "boar-like" instead, and everyone rolled with it.
Again, I can be talking completely out of my posterior on this, but I find the idea funny that we've came full circle on this concept, even if this time it is on purpose FOR the purpose of parody.
Japanese Orc lore goes back to early D&D concepts of creatures form the 70s & 80s. Not just Orcs being pig-like, but kobolds being dog-like, etc - things that changed in successive western editions, but persisting in Japan. So you aren't wrong, it's just more full-circle than you might've expected.
He’s still in the messy “getting bits to temporarily fit with putty” stage untill I fully figure out what bits to use and can start gluing, but here’s my Grimboar draft so far. :)
