The new guy looks bigger with his eagle claw shoulder pads and his extended helmet horns. He is also sporting a new shield and sword on his back. In fact his entire back has been resculpted to incorporate the new items. Old school charm, Nick's sculpting style isn't everyone's taste but I have grown to love it.
UPDATE: Right so I've done a bit more digging and we have some answers...
The Orc generals war chariot was released in 1986 with original figure. Seven years later, the newer, tweaked figure was released.
So seven years difference, it was obviously had too much character to just leave on the chariot.

I have the War Chief figure. I really like the Nick Lund Orcs.
Which one, the old chariot one or the based one?
The larger based one. I have quite a lot of Nick Lund sculpts.
Interesting find there. I wonder how long between the modification being done. Like....could it have been one of the original casts converted early to add to the range? Or did it happen much much later? Curious.
Turns out it was a seven years gap in-between the two different releases.
