Warcraft, and prior, Warhammer Fantasy Battles.

its been some time since I read my Tolkien, but didn't his have tusks?

They were "fanged"

Note the difference

They were more like what we'd consider goblins or hobgoblins in more modern fantasy.

The movies, (imo), had decent depictions.

I thought it was from boar.

But why would they randomly put just that one single Japanese pig orc feature on Western humanoid orc?
