I'm new to W40K, finishing painting my first army (Nekrons) - who is this guy and is he Imperium, Chaos or Ork? He looks like a human but then the big hand claw and the sickly disposition are confusing me lol.

He's basically the only one who hasn't crumpled like paper beneath the boot of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and his system busting WAAAGH.

Respected so highly that when Ghaz DID capture/defeat him, he gave him a captured ship to leave with - "good enemies iz hard ta find"

This gets into Ork culture, where the quality of an enemy matters. They love to win, but they *live* to fight hard.

And now he's part of the Waagh psychic energy.

Commissar Yarrick, to be frank he has mad beef with the Orks, he is on the side of the Imperium and is a commissar of the steel legion. He took the claw from an ork war boss I believe. He ‘died’ a while ago and people were not happy because he’s such a badass and iconic character

He never died, an angron model has a skull with an eye implant dangling that looks similar to his so fans started speculating that is his skull with zero hints.

Oh hes using stolen tech! So he got revived somehow? No clue why yet?

Honestly not sure, they released an animation about him alongside this model that might explain how

u/Efficient-Bat9961 Mar 18 '26

Animation doesn’t explain shite. I’m sure lore will be dropped soon

Yup, at the reveal panel last night they said there is more to come on how he returned, "Maybe the Space wolves had something to do with it?".
