Commissar Yarrick is back, and ready to throw down against Wazdakka Gutsmek on the aptly-named Armageddon next week!
Sometimes life is like a hurricane, full of racecars, lasers, aeroplanes. But sometimes, life does its best to imitate that Dr. Manhattan sitting on Mars meme. Case in point, as part of next week’s pre-orders, Commissar Yarrick is heading to Armageddon to fight Orks once again. Yarrick, Orks, and a whole lot of feeling like you’ve become unstuck in time await us all!
Commissar Yarrick Returns To Armageddon
It all kicks off with the new narrative expansion: Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick, which comes packed full of lore and the advancing story of Armageddon. Yarrick returns to the frontlines with a book full of lore and a book full of rules for vehicle-heavy battles, including six new Detachments and rules for Ace vehicles. But what good are the rules without new miniatures to make use of them all? Thankfully, you don’t have to wonder, since there’s a big spate of releases as next week’s pre-orders will show.
First up, Commissar Yarrick is back with a bold new miniature and upgrades provided helpfully by the Space Wolves. With a cybernetic skull (that is apparently constantly aching) and his signature power klaw, Yarrick is a beast on the front lines.
And it’s good that he is, because opposing him on Armageddon is none other than Wazdakka Gutsmek, the fastest and bestest of the Speed Freeks. Roaring across the battlefield on Big Revva, Gutsmek is back with a whole suite of new rules and a Speedwaaagh! that ought to make any Ork player absolutely delighted.
Of course it’s not just these two – there are other characters to grab as part of the coming battle on Armageddon as well. Including Commissar Thenia Graves, who rides in the rather Orky-looking Centaur RSV known as Vigilance, but in the kit you also get her on foot.
Just in case you want to not have a vehicle for some reason.
Just as bombastic as any of them, the Dogmata Superior, Intranzia Fraye who rides into battle atop the Throne of Blame ready to provide fire support and smiting as needed.
Not to be outdone, Inquisitor Kroyle comes wielding his Jindarii tox-cycler and wearing an Imperial Pith Helmet while sitting aside a terrifying Garralisk. As big game a hunter as ever there was. He’s even got the beard and moustache for it.
Or, slightly less ostentatious, the Ork Armageddon Battalion Box, which needs six Deffkoptas, a Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy, and a Deffkilla Wartrike to try to come close to the power of the characters on display heretofore.
Much less ostentatious, and with a life expectancy to match, the Astra Militarum Armageddon Battalion Box, which comes with two Hippogriff AFVs, a much plainer Centaur RSV, and a Rogal Dorn battle tank. And 10 Cadian Shock Troops, which will probably outlive everything else in the box.
The Adepta Sororitas have an Armageddon Battalion Box as well, whose life expectancy depends almost entirely upon their ability to not look like heretics in front of the Dogmata Superior, consists of: 10 Novitiates, 9 Repentia and a Repentia Superior, as well as three Paragon Warsuits, and a Palatine to lead the charge.
Finally, you can pick up the Deathwatch Armageddon Battalion Box, which is perfectly suited to being caught in any crossfire where Orks are involved. You’ll get 10 Deathwatch Veterans and a Corvus Blackstar.
All this, next week!
