Bolg's army and chariot

H

One thing we didn't really see in Lotr was an army of Orcs and Wolves together. We do in the Hobbit. It is a little way of but done properly this could be quite scary. What should his army look like on the back of their Wargs and what should his chariot and bodyguards look like as they charge at the defenders at the lonely mountain are there any ideas?
 
And not so much like mutant hyenas. [cool]

Bolg and his bodyguards should be significantly larger than the rest of the goblins, I guess, although I've never quite understood the distinction between goblins and Orcs, at least in the Hobbit, where I kind of got the impression that the difference was more semantic than anything.
 
My understanding Rosielass was that there isn't one apart from, as you said, the semantic aspect. What I want most of all is a Bolg who looks like a worthy opponent for Beorn. Beorn whopping goblin hide, smashing them around is all well and good but I really want to see something big and strong for him to fight when it comes to Bolg.
 
Their animation was pretty average in some parts but their design I thought was ok and suited the Isengard/Rohan feel. In TH they should be wolfish because they actually are in the book and it will be epic seeing hundreds of goblins riding on them.
 
in TH I hope to see no wargs but just wolves, 'personalized' by orcs (BO5A) or by goblins (after escape their cave)
thinking that they will be enough, not just a few like in TTT, to create terror and confusion
 
A giant, evil wolf creature, not a giant Hyena, belonging to an ENTIRELY different species of animal. There are better images of Gmork, but I could not find them. And yes, some tweaking could be done with him as well, but he comes much nearer the mark than the pre-historic giant Hyena seen in TTT and ROTK. Hyena, for the record are NOT members of familia Canidae (the dog family, of which Wolves [Canis Lupis] are the senior, one might even say founding member) Hyena blong to an entirely distinct group, about half way between the Canidae (dog family) and the Felidae (cat family) on the extended Family tree of carniverous mammals. The books says Wargs are evil, monstrous Wolves. The term wolf is used quite frequently, and I am certain the proffessor knew a wolf from a hyena.

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the Hobbit readily to hand, but does it say that Bolg's guard are bigger than normal Goblins even, 'Huge,' Possibly it says nearly man-sized but I can't quite remember. Even if it doesn't could as a film it be improvisied as such? A little like the Uruk-Hai perhaps. Shows that Saruman's invention possibly wasn't that original after all!
