Yea the Orcs riders are just another minor re-sculpt of the same Orcs GW having been re-sculpting as different Orc and Ork troop types since circa 2000 (the 3rd edition 40k plastic Ork Boyz being the first).

The boars are just awful, far too cartoon-y the snouts look far too long and the bodies are yet another example of the Citadel Plastic's feather-fur

now the Trolls, there are things I quite like about them (the optional vomit spray, the river weeds) but over all the style is far too angular and lacks detail in places. Other design decisions I just don't like: the head on the 3rd troll, the fish-fins on the backs and the unconvincing anatomy (especially on the upper torsos)

Over all I think Citadel are in the process of loosing their style, the boars look like something from Dragon Rune Miniatures (or maybe a Disney-Pixar film) and the Trolls remind me far too much of Rackham's now OOP Confrontation and Hybrid ranges.
