There's no need to make them a 1-to-1 copy, nor to put a skull on their head (like with the Berserkers).
My suggestion was more about the idea behind their weapon, and the rest of the equipment (armor) can be designed in many different ways.

*The main problem with the Bonecrushers is that they are a "trash" unit even at the idea stage. They could be an acceptable Neutral unit, with such an "exotic" weapon, but not as a Tier 4 unit for the most armored Faction, where, in fact, all their allies will fight in an organized formation.
- Simply put, for a formation battle, the Bonecrushers look ridiculous, and this is a problem with the very idea behind them. Ranged units? Yes! Berserkers with a large hammer, another two-handed weapon, or paired weapons (like axes) – that could be acceptable. But not with gauntlets and daggers...
*In this regard, the Jaguars are much more convincing. Firstly, they are part of the Orc Faction, whose tactics are the opposite of the Dwarves. Secondly, they are larger, and their weapon allows for free movement of their hands, which allows them to grab/intercept the opponent's weapon, perform captures, and use grappling techniques. In Heroes 5, similar equipment is used by the Hunters, but since there are obviously no such units in your mod, my idea is to give the Orc Berserkers "Claws" or Blades attached to their bracers and similar devices. Instead of trying to give them a weapon "in their hands," which will obviously not go well with the animations of the Bonecrushers/Berserkers.
*However, these are just my suggestions and observations.
Orc Berserkers wield axes normally; I have been using this since 2014. Back then, there were Dwarves with sabers, and now there are Orc Berserkers.
I wanted to use claws, but I abandoned them because I wanted to make a Berserker with a boar theme – a swine-frenzy, but I couldn't find a boar helmet, so I just decided to make an Orc until an idea comes to me. I painted them, painted them, painted them, and made them purple, added a brown leather base, and yellow bones... and so the modern concept of an alternative grade was born, and the claws were forgotten
