Commissar Yarrick Returns to Armageddon
I’m very excited.
My first big push into the 40k hobby was The 3rd War of Armageddon in 2000, a global campaign where you could report your results to a website online and affect the outcome of the story. I loved it, and it started me painting Celestial Lions Space Marines.
It led to lifelong friendships as my friends and I all battled for the fate of an entire star system, keeping an eye on the website daily, wishing we could attend the larger events that had greater impacts.
So I’m very exited to see that Games Workshop has announced that Comissar Yarrick, the Old Man of Armageddon is returning with a new sculpt!
He’s in the same pose as his old 3rd edition miniature, just more detailed. I’m probably going to swap the head for a Krieg Commissar, to keep him in theme with the rest of my Krieg army, but he looks absolutely beautiful.
I’m hoping that we’ll see the Armageddon Crusade book that came out last year expand into a global campaign for 11th edition, with the rumored Orks being at the helm. I’ll be keeping my eye out, as we’re rumored to be finding out about 11th edition next week.
