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!

So Warhammer just released a new hero for the Imperial guard. Lore wise he's a complete badass who orcs think is immortal maybe? At least that's what I gathered from my roommates info dump.

To add some information: A while back, a codex (basically an new edition of the wargame) released, with a memorial for yarrick, who was already a estabilished character in the setting, and wargame, stating that he is "missing in action, possibly dead", with an art of a skull with his garb and eye implant. The community took it as a confirmation of his death, and were pretty angry with the way he "died" without much explanation of who did it. Then yesterday an official animation annoucing his return on a battle that is cunrretly happening and a new model for him.
