  • Hey everyone Wolf Lord Rho here!
    Today we kick off Astra Militarum week! And where better to begin, then with perhaps the greatest legend of them all... Commissar Yarrick!
    Spoiler Warning to begin the events we are discussing today are from the Warhammer 40,000 novel "Helsreach" by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. As always I really recommend you read the story for yourself first! As that's the best way to enjoy the lore, for yourself. Not only that we help to support the great Games Workshop and Black Library. Because without them we don't have this amazing lore to talk about. Link: www.blacklibrary.com/warhamme...
    I do not currently have Patreon. However if you wish to support the channel or would like to send me a gift as some have asked, then sending a virtual gift voucher to WolfLordRho@gmail.com using the link below will help towards the channel.

    Commissar Yarrick surveys the orc gargant that is stopped. It's the lynchpin of the orc line, and is an open challenge to the space Marines defending this area.
    Yarrick turns his head to look at the man beside him, "chapter Master may I borrow your combat knife?"
    A huge space Marine nods and hands Yarrick his knife.
    "Give me 20 minutes chapter Master then begin your attack"
    The Marine, a living legend himself, nods. "As you say commissar."
    Yarrick climbs over the trench wall and starts walking towards the gargant. Legend says he could be heard up and down the imperial lines muttering" I'm getting too old for this".
    20 minutes later the gargant explodes. The space Marines charge. Halfway to the orc lines they run past commissar Yarrick. He was walking backwards towards the line firing at the orcs.
    When the chapter Master got to him, all Yarrick said as it handed the man back just the hilt of his knife was, "apologies chapter Master it seems I broke your knife."

    This is one of those double edged sword , when your (Yarrick) is so legendary that even the orks respect you, and ork respect is shown by putting together a waaagghh so massive that they had to invent drop astroids to bring a sufficient force to give Yarrick a challenge. Really if Yarrick wasn’t such a legend I think the ork waaagh would have been much smaller on the third war for Armageddon.

    I really recommend reading Pyres of Armageddon since it tells the stories of the defence of Hades Hive itself from Yarrick’s POV. And I REALLY recommend reading Chains of Golgotha since its somewhat a prequel to the 3rd War for Armageddon.
    Mini Spoilers:
    Yarrick was captured aboard a Space Hulk which was comparable to the Death Star. He led a revolution amongst the captives but He alone managed to escape by the grace of Ghazghkull. In this novel, Ghazghkull did speak a few low gothic one liners to Yarrick. But the most unforgettable was that, basically, Ghazghkull told Yarrick to prepare Armageddon for the best war ever before letting him escape aboard a transport ship. Such BAD ASS

    Yarrick is a Legend , a man made of steel and sheer fucking will , and rock solid faith in the Emperor !
    But what makes Yarrick a great character is also his background , Hellsreach and Pyres of Armageddon are great , but nothing fleshes him out better than the novel Imperial Creed .
    How as a junior Commissar he already shared a lot of his old self's values , was strict and ruthless when he needed to be , but was always fair , and would go as far as challenge an Inquisitor when his men were unjustly wronged or accused . How his mentor , Lord Commissar Rasp , had quite an influence on Yarrick and how both would learn the hard way that combat and fighting aside , the role of a Commissar is inherently political , that the worst threats come from within and that trusting the wrong person can prove disastrous on a planetary scale .
    How He and Seroff eventually went from best friends to mortal enemies is also tragic .
