As I vastly prefer the new Fell Wargs to the old "normal" ones, but like the rider poses for the old ones better, I wondered if it would be possible to mix them? I remember reading somewhere that the Fell Warg riders would be moulded together with the wargs, but that would be a huge break from what GW did before, so I figured I would ask.

The Orcs are indeed partly molded to the Fell Wargs. You can see pictures of the sprues here: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... od1830020a
Here's an example.

Looking at this, it should still be very easy to mix the components though. Just assemble the two Fell Warg halves, cut an old Warg Rider in half and stick it on the legs!

OK, thanks Feanor! Looks like I'll have to flex my conversion muscles then (so far as they exist, but ah well, practice makes perfect).

@Galanur: That would involve the old wargs again, and the whole point of the exercise (Blast, how do you spell that again?) was to avoid them.

I believe in certain LoME lists they could. I'm not sure about the new Warbands though as I haven't seen the updated "evil" books in person (only Men and Free Peeps).

Yes. Orc trackers can be mounted on Wargs.

Yes. The Hunter Orcs on Fell Wargs come with two casualties in the box.
