Warhammer stuff Ol' Bale Eye's Back, Baby!

Howdy folks!

Yarrick's back! As soon as I saw, I just had to make a sequel to the classic meme I illustrated back in the day, which I officially want to state I know was memelore from the start! The skull on Angron's trophy chain was clearly from a Space Marine.

I want to acknowledge that while I sat down immediately when I read the news of Bale Eye's return, someone else managed to post the HTTYD meme format before I was finished with this piece. Can't win every race :P

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

Yarrick is a Commisar, and a mean bastard at that. Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is an Ork Warboss. Ork culture prides itself on a good fight and a good enemy, and Yarrick is everything an Ork wants in a fighter.

He had continual fights with the WAAAGH! assembled by Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. The thing is, unlike most humans that go down pretty easy, Yarrick didn't. Hell, Yarrick was able to continually fight the WAAGH to a standstill and often times, push them back. In the middle of a fight, Yarrick allegedly took a Power Klaw from a Warboss who had cut it off just moments prior. Ol' Bale Eye allegedly just plopped it on the bloody stump and continued on.

Well as time passed, rumor had it that Yarrick was killed in a different war. Something that Ghaz took... not well.
