Halandaar Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I mean the most GW move possible is that they've removed him from the Codex just so they can "surprise" us with his return during the inevitable Gathering Broken End Times Psychic Storm Realms Awakening campaign alongside a new model.

Legionary Pallas Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Well now this is just confusing, does GW want us to believe he's alive or dead? They print in their book that he's dead and then on the other hand play coy about it in an article right after. The book's not even out other than in the Cadia box and people don't even have those in their hands yet. If they're just gonna bring Yarrick back, right after taking him away, then I really don't see why he had to go in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, or some Warzone Armageddon series. He can still be dead, hasn't stopped models from being used before. 40k is a setting and tabletop games can take place at any point in time within that setting.

tychobi Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 This seems a very limp effort at drama. A sad off camera death, slated for immediate ret con? Thank Chaos for my head cannon. 40k lore has long bored me but this is just sour. Air out the plot armour! It smells funny!

True but I wouldnt expect a new mini for him though, they have never updated dead characters. Just sourced a OG Yarrick mini, my mate still has one he said I can have. He shall proudly lead my army with his massive crab claw in the air just like he did with my 1st Guard army back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're just gonna bring Yarrick back, right after taking him away, then I really don't see why he had to go in the first place. So the page in the Codex is an in universe description, which means in terms of whether it's true or not your mileage may vary. A whole sermon about how the bell has tolled to declare him dead (which has been done prematurely before), but which at the end says it was redacted by the inquisition, if I'm not mistaken. So did that actually get published in universe? Who knows. The WarCom article was simply the social media team picking up on the fuzz about it to throw up an article to generate some engagement. Poking the fire, so to speak. It doesn't say anything and basicay just summarised a bunch of popular theories without committing itself to anything...which is basically the entire purpose of this kind of article. It's not meant to give anyone any actually new info. Ultimately, all we know for sure is that he has no rules in the new book and may or may not he gone for good.

Yeah, although if that's the case you'd expect his datasheet to still be in the Codex (like Tycho is still in the Blood Angels book), or moved to Legends. His datasheet disappearing from the Codex to reappear in a future book only seems plausible if he's both canonically alive and getting an updated model.

Warzone: Armageddon has been a thing for a long time, massive fight between Ghaz, Angron, and perfect for a new Yarrick model. Knowing GW probably in a baby carrier.

Knowing GW probably in a baby carrier. His body destroyed in battle, but Cawl handwaviumed a prototype battle suit that they could hook up to his brain. Like some Robocop 2 kinda thing in a fancy hat. Robo-Commissar is a horrid idea but they have had worse ideas. Id rather him die to a bit of stray shrapnel or assassinated by a Snottling on the toilet (Yarricks on the toilet, not the Snottling, although inside the loo would be a good hiding spot) than have him wired up into a mech suit. If he is dead Im gonna miss him, he came out not long after I started playing so hes always been there, gonna be weird if hes not being badass somewhere chasing Orks.

Shamansky Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 i'd love if geedubs would recall what is fun again and made canon that joke that Yarrick can not die because the greenskins believe he's immortal. tychobi 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
