1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,040 only to see it's so funny in this part of the book because obviously we're just like all that 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,800 horrific death before but then immediately the next scene is they're like getting into transports 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,680 of like you know we just get to the next high city and they look to their right I think and then 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:21,920 in the little forest bit there there's one orc who's like waving at them and it's like and then 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,240 they shoot it eventually and it's Jarek realising that this gaz call had realised what was going 6 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,000 to happen he'd pre-planned like basically what was going to happen in this he knew it was a trap 7 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,120 essentially I feel a bit sorry about that orc though just like oh gaz was like gov the gormless 8 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,760 I'm gonna send you to stand by the forest and just be like you're useless like you guys are 9 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:59,760 oh I get a special mission that's pretty cool 10 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:21,120 Hello and welcome to Lore Crimes today we will be talking about commissar Jarek old bali the 11 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,840 scariest commissar to ever exist and perhaps the coolest one in most of our opinions I think maybe 12 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,080 he's not around anymore but we'll talk about that later but before we get started we have to cover 13 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,240 the question of the week now what the question of the week we had for you all was hashtag insisting 14 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:48,640 on a fist and uh who would you most like to punch I regret nothing in 40k or warhammer general 15 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:56,160 pardon me uh I said imperial or not oh my lord I am I'm I'm a crimson fists who would you like 16 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:05,920 to post them up that was a diet coke out of fear we did blood raven it oh no uh but yeah insisting on a fist and so uh the first one is from 17 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:16,800 uh at st niv and oh one uh steven oh one uh hashtag insist not efficient the head of ferris man 18 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,880 just imagine slapping that head and spinning it on your finger like a basketball 19 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:33,760 iron hands bros can't stop losing kick us over down it's meant to be the most like haunting part 20 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,000 of the book is when ferris's head gets like slapped on the ground in front of horrors even horrors goes 21 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000 yeah like that's a bit gross and he starts talking to it and basically turns it into a did he turn 22 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,440 into a cup at some point I think that's game of thrones but he definitely talks to it I think he 23 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,760 just hasn't like because there is like an artwork where he has the skull above his throne and there's 24 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,320 bits where he apparently looks at it he goes oh I know game of thrones is when they they killed joe 25 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:07,280 or mormon the guys I think it's raw that was out of it god that was that's pretty there's this really 26 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,720 like somber art piece of fulgrum holding ferris's head and he looks I know the one yeah except

knuckles into the 37 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,600 paper mache consistency bowl of the emperor's actively rotting noggin finally knocking him 38 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,160 past that last inch away from death so we can see more definitive change in the imperium 39 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,520 other than Gillum's back and he's changing politics and policies what exactly you know 40 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,640 stuff this is a smart man I like this man's ideas get some actual change going 41 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:55,040 zenos propaganda absolutely disgusting disgusting good can't believe

realized I misread the question my man 44 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,400 but to be honest I saw you posted something along that line on your twitter recently Colin 45 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,400 oh my gosh and I just I just put an image of the tick going neat and that was it 46 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,400 uh the exact thing I tweeted for ladies and gentlemen was uh if I was malikith I would

delicious good man good man uh insisting on a 52 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:18,160 fist and I would punch gotrick gurnison because I too seek a mighty doom and then uh the next one 53 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:24,720 is the lucky goblin 5880 I'd punch gotrick with my non-dominant hand just to say I could and then 54 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:33,280 I'd hastily scribble a will down with the other you'd have to be quick you'd have to be very quick 55 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:39,200 you'd have to be like touch typing with a quill like it'd be even worse if he was drinking too 56 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:44,960 because it wouldn't he would well you'd be long enough just to get that that one eye just to 57 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,160 stand you'd be actively looking for a fight I feel like they just scribble I leave all my 58 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,520 belongings to gotrick gurnison hashtag sorry don't kill my family please 59 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,160 swear don't put it in the grudges not garage please gotrick doesn't have grudges he 60 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,040 created it'll live long enough to be a grudge the book is clear required there's going to be a bit 61 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:13,040 of time where you can't meet up some punishments I love how like every time you had to you because 62 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,240 I pause before you said insisting on a fist and as in like your skin crawled every time you had to 63 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:27,520 say that oh man but um we will be talking about uh something a bit more um ancient and old and 64 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,480 doesn't really know how to give up uh well known for not retiring uh yarick so the question of the 65 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:41,600 week this week is what would you retire from warhammer hashtag retirement yes we are putting 66 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,480 hashtag retirement so be careful what you get leads to law crimes that's rude yes for example 67 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,200 I would say retire the entire space marine model line because I think it'd be funny 68 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,680 just to see what people would do I don't know I feel like you could say by the same token you 69 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,680 could say I could retire the entire Eldarie line because no one would notice boom gotcha oh they 70 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:12,400 noticed right now because they're top of the win rate baby got nerfed from best to best I think 71 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,080 I have a good answer which is uh I'd retire Marneus Calgar because god damn that dude deserves or 72 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:25,200 deserves to go Dante really Dante's whole thing is like he's not gonna go like that's he's the 73 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:33,360 one who outlays everyone Calgar kind of just it's he's fine he's had his time it's fine I did put 74 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,680 him in the bin I did start listening to devastation of bar and they were like Dante doesn't look like 75 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:43,200 even old space means because he's got like saggy jowls and it's like oh it's like oh poor Dante 76 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:50,720 now you're gonna piss out with saggy cheeks poor guy I would retire Abaddon that a spoiler so that 77 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,960 uh Huron Blackheart could take his place that's a good answer to you fair although probably uh 78 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,200 Ed from the sand man of terror will probably have the companies are gonna knock on your door and start 79 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,280 fighting anyone who believes in that that's good is a very good channel people should go check it 80 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:13,280 out um with that being said though we'll head on to the beginner section and uh that was the question 81 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:20,400 of the week I'm going to pass it to Andy for the beginner section on uh the one the only commissar 82 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:26,240 Yarek yeah it's gonna be a fun one boys um we all love Yarek I've not met anyone who says they think 83 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:34,400 Yarek's rubbish or he's oh that guy's boring he's an old man old men are boring oh yuck put him in 84 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:41,040 an old folks home rubbish no we all love Yarek Yarek's good fun um now I will preface that 85 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Hal is a bit of a Yarek fanboy I think it's fair to say uh somewhat yeah we've both converted into 86 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,960 one yeah I mean we've both done a Yarek video on our channels mine's a measly 15 minutes 87 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Hal's is a girthy several hour endeavor three hours long yeah Yarek's over the setting Hal's 88 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:06,240 video is longer than mine so I think he's the one silencing all conversation in the locker room 89 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,440 when he brings up his Yarek video yeah just like flumps on the table anyway um but the 90 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,520 so the I'll give you guys an overview for the beginner section but it will be fairly brief 91 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,360 so keep that in mind but just know we're gonna get into it and how's going to 92 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,880 you're in good hands when Hal gets to the expert but to start things off Sebastian Yarek is known 93 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:33,760 as the hero of Hades Hive the bane of the greenskins and a veteran of two wars to conquer the world 94 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,040 known as Armageddon uh this man was originally when he was a child raised by an Astra Militarum 95 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:46,000 soldier who was retired which you you it's very rare the only two people I know who were raised by 96 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,520 fathers who retired from the Astra Militarum are Yarek and Gabriel Angelos from the Blood Ravens 97 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:58,800 like very rare for anyone to retire from the Astra Militarum but Yarek's grandfather did um so Yarek 98 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,680 would learn some skills of survival and combat from his grandfather which would prove to be very 99 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:11,920 useful when his home world was invaded by greenskins and they started slaughtering everyone but during 100 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,160 the invasion Yarek as a younger man he managed to evade the orcs he laid traps he he killed a few 101 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,320 here and there and after a few I think it was months of survival the Astra Militarum would 102 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,280 retake the home world he was born on and finding him an orphan his grandfather I'm sorry to say 103 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:35,760 passed away or was butchered by the orcs during this time Yarek would be inducted into the the 104 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:42,160 school for gifted kids of the Imperium not Hogwarts it's called the Scholar Progenium and there's no 105 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:49,360 magic no yeah less magic more we I think one of the schools they entomb the bad students in the 106 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:56,160 brick walls as a lesson to teach the kids hey do your homework and that's like a real thing oh no 107 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:03,520 so there aren't even in the walls there are there are children in the walls amazing um 40k 108 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:13,200 um 40k everyone um but while he was in this yeah I don't know we're all like oh I grew up in a 109 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:19,840 pretty rough school like yeah I like bitch please um no dead kids in my walls thankfully yeah I 110 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,960 think it'd be quite off-putting you're trying to do calculus and all you see is just like 111 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:29,040 Gavin staring at you from the brickwork like oh god not not a fan of that um but either way while 112 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,720 Yarek was undergoing his training to become a Commissar of the Imperium uh there would be a 113 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:40,640 human raider within the school who had previously been captured there we go sirens going when I'm 114 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:47,680 talking about capturing humans uh but he would he had been the secret law perfect timing yeah 115 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:54,080 London or what's it like um there we go so there this this human raider had been captured by the 116 00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:00,880 uh the orcs during his years of uh pillaging the galaxy and pirating and uh he would talk to and 117 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,240 speak with Yarek during his time as a student and he would impart to him the orc language and some 118 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,920 of the things he learned about the orcs during his capture because he'd been captured by them 119 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:16,560 for many years and slowly Yarek would start to learn the full extent of orc psychology and culture 120 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:20,960 so he could best exploit their weaknesses when he would take to the field as a Commissar of the 121 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,240 Imperium utterly devoted to the Imperium Yarek would be stationed to command the Steel Legion 122 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:33,840 Battalions of Armageddon and thankfully be there during the dawn of the second war for Armageddon 123 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:41,040 in which the uh the orc warlord known as Ghazgul Mag Urug Fracca would attempt to reclaim his 124 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:47,840 ancestral orc home world once known as Ulanor so fun bit of trivia Armageddon and Ulanor are the 125 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:54,880 same place um little side note during the war of the beast the orcs were a bit of a problem so the 126 00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,400 mechanicus said you know what we're just gonna like teleport Ulanor to this place in this 127 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,560 six sector called Armageddon sector we'll put it over there and that will trick the orcs and they'll 128 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:08,960 never know what happened turns out the orcs saw right through that they know exactly what it is 129 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:14,160 so that's why they're always clamoring to get it back into their green sausage fingers and um 130 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,840 a bit of a shrek reference there for you guys don't you point those dirty green sausages at me 131 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,280 however with a donkey in like the the onion cart and he's making the noise of the you know 132 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:37,120 that's the orcs that is that's the orcs yeah um but yeah during the uh the beginning of the 133 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,320 second war for Armageddon Yarek would be stationed within Hades Hive one of the prominent hive cities 134 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:49,600 of the planet and uh in its defense faced the orc warlord known as Uglhard and in the uh the battle 135 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,840 that ensured uh ensured Yarek would duel this orc warlord and though lose his arm in the engagement 136 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:01,600 kill the orc warlord cut off his power claw claim it for himself and have it fitted to the stump of 137 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:08,720 his own arm so now he's a human soldier outfitted with a an orc like power claw big razor sharp 138 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,400 talon fingered claw mechanism thing he also would lose his eye in the in the war and have it replaced 139 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,280 with an augmatic known as the bale eye which is capable of shooting a laser beam at his uh 140 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,680 at his enemies with a moment's glare of his so-called evil eye uh so during the defense of 141 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,080 Hades Hive some of the other hives would fall battle was crazy they're waiting for reinforcements 142 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:35,840 and Ghaz Gulmak Uruk-Frakur is thinking why is this hive taking so long to conquer come on this 143 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:42,080 should have been done ages ago and so begins the uh the great rivalry between the prophet of gork 144 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,680 and morc and the hero of Hades Hive Yarek would match and outmaneuver Ghaz Gul at every turn 145 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,640 foil his plots and match his schemes and basically by time until the blood angels 146 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:59,760 will eventually uh arrive to the to the to the armageddon sector and repel the orc invasion 147 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:08,240 finally now with uh the the greenskins thwarted uh Yarek would say i am not letting that orc go 148 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:14,320 away i'm going to pursue him unfortunately Yarek would get captured during his pursuit 149 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:20,320 and be tortured by Ghaz Gul for many days until eventually he would try to stage an escape with 150 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:27,120 some of the prisoners on board the orc vessel uh in the attempt Yarek though managing to do some 151 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:34,800 pretty big damage to the ships and almost go out in a blaze of glory he would be uh revived by 152 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,800 Ghaz Gul after the fray given back his uniform and his weapons to which uh and also a vessel 153 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,000 to escape back to the imperium and why when asking why are you letting me go Ghaz Gul would state 154 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,160 good enemies is hard to find because he loves fighting as all orcs do and Yarek's the best 155 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,320 opponent he's ever found so he doesn't want him to die he wants to keep fighting him as long as he 156 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:03,040 can so he lets him go back to Armageddon and warns him i'll be back i'm coming to get you 157 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,960 i'm accruing a wire i'm gonna ruin your day so you you get as many defensive positions going 158 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,200 as many reinforcements get the Astartes get the sororitas get some tanks get some 159 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,920 your little flashlights whatever get everything you can i'm coming to kick the door down and 160 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,560 it's going to be a load of fun um need one of those flashlights that you can is almost in this 161 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:31,360 amazon video where it's like this is the most powerful flashlight and it literally can turn it from night to day 162 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:37,440 yeah we did say flashlight yeah just better torch isn't it torch flashlight is american is it torch 163 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:43,920 is in give it give him home it's not a torch it's a torch it doesn't make sense a torch is a burning stick 164 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:56,000 is there fire the flaming flashlight what do you call a burning stick then a torch yeah that's a 165 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:03,040 torch yeah they did the same thing no they're not download those is technology what a torch 166 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:09,520 illuminates oh it's the son of torch then in a way isn't it the world's biggest torch this is a 167 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:16,240 pointless argument isn't it that's why they're here to watch law crimes just going into weird tangents 168 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:22,320 um however breakfast guys don't cook your breakfast with a torch 169 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:33,200 anyway um hashtag bread not anyway um during the uh the escape yarick would um i'm sure i'm sure how 170 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,400 we're getting into in more detail but several times he tries to retire he just can't do it he 171 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,120 keeps getting drawn back into the conflict against the orcs because there's no one better suited to 172 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:45,440 combat them even the astartes don't have the same experience that yarick has to the point where they 173 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:52,640 revere his pedigree um and as such unlike in the second war for armageddon where he was just defending 174 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,080 hades hive he would be tasked with the defense of the entire planet during the third war for 175 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:04,960 armageddon where once more yarick would repel the invasion of gazgul mag uruk frakka during 998.m41 176 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,920 however despite his success in pushing the orcs back from the greatest orc war ever recorded 177 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,360 in human history that exceeded even the ulunor crusade of the great crusade or the war of the beast 178 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:24,400 unfortunately the most recent knowledge we have of sebastian yarick is during his 179 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:31,040 pursuit to end the beast of armageddon supposedly he would die at the hands of angron 180 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,880 prime arc of the world eaters and never achieve his life's mission to end the reign of gazgul 181 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:45,360 mag uruk frakka the prophet of gork and morc sad big sad and that's basically all i have to say 182 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:49,600 for the beginner section of today's episode he needs a book his death deserves a book he needs 183 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:56,640 some lore that's how gw killed angron because gazgul went straight to corns domain to kill 184 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:02,720 him and then he glared at him and shot a laser in his face. that plotline's already kind of explored isn't it? who's the orc who lives in corns realm? 185 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:09,920 oh come on his name his name tuska demon oh he's there to have fun angron's there for vengeance 186 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:18,240 gazgul angron's there in a way angron is there for vengeance uh if that's being said there any uh 187 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,480 feelings or thoughts boys currently on yarick what's your current like knowledge of him 188 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:28,480 i haven't read the books but i know the war generally yeah it's about the same as you like 189 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:35,360 i will i will say he's not my favorite commissar it's it's hard for me to hard to top cain for me but 190 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:40,480 yeah he's cool i'm not saying he's not awesome i'm just saying i like cain 191 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,040 he was cool on the tabletop back in the day 192 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:51,040 cain says his own thing he's not even really an actual like he is a commissar but you know what cain is his personality in commissars 193 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:57,280 does really act like one so much more than a commissar all right boys strap in put down your hentai pillows 194 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:04,320 yes right put your i mean i say get off your seats but i say put yourself and sit down because 195 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,760 about to have possibly we're not talking about space marine super soldiers nothing like that 196 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:17,760 we're talking about the best human just an ordinary guy in the 40k setting so uh you know as they say 197 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:24,640 it's the god it's the commissar it's the average oh wait not an average man how dare i stay as an 198 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:32,080 average man it's about old bali hero of hades hive the for some reason his nickname is the old man 199 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:41,200 which obviously seems very generic um i prefer poppy eric poppy eric uh commissar sebastian eric 200 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,880 a man even respected by space marines as we will that's quite far in i won't lie so i have to 201 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:54,560 get to that um but his story starts way before that as we say legends are not uh born they are 202 00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:00,480 created and it will be on a world called teo three when i first read this book i thought it was called 203 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,440 talos three real missed opportunity that's not called talos because that would have been a 204 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,960 like absolutely gorgeous but he loves you 205 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:17,920 um there would be a little young boy named bass obviously it would be short for sebastian 206 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:24,160 and he was born in this world teo three not really important it's kind of like a backwater 207 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:30,800 but his parents were wealthy they were somewhat cold so he only knew them when he was about four 208 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:36,880 i think he was seven um when eventually they would actually pass away unfortunately uh supposedly 209 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:44,320 they died in a tragic accident at the planetary governor's summer mansion and all their assets 210 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:50,320 were quote-unquote seized for the imperial war effort which happened to go to the cousin of the 211 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:56,400 governor himself no less so we can obviously kind of guess what happened there just a coincidence 212 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:03,920 sir yeah just a little little coincidence there and um so he kind of he was only seven years old and 213 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:10,240 it went he had a rough start and his parents even though he didn't really know his parents very well 214 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,320 um and they basically lost everything they said oh but he's going to one sort of founding member 215 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,920 left so they sent him off and they put him on a train they described it in the book when he gets 216 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,520 on the train the train is filled with people who are slaves it's like maggot and cockroach 217 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:33,360 infested and rusty and he's a seven-year-old boy just sent by himself it's not quite the oh i sent 218 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:38,400 my son on like a transatlantic flight or anything like that this is like this is not a gap year 219 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:46,080 yeah this is the 11 this is the 11th of that and he arrives to his first ever hive city and 220 00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:52,560 it's really it's really like hard to listen to it because he immediately gets off and he just 221 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,280 pisses himself immediately literally pisses his pants immediately because obviously he's a kid 222 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:03,920 and he's terrified and he's greeted by this old man who's like injured and gnarled and his name is 223 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:11,760 the old sarge they call him and he was supposedly an old warfare he was the grandfather or father 224 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,120 to his mother and he had like no idea his mother obviously had any kind of history like that 225 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,640 and the sarge was very much like oh you little shit i gotta take care of you like you're taking 226 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:28,800 my resources i hate you so he wasn't very nice to him in the beginning my rations away how dare 227 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:36,960 yeah he was pretty he was like a real old vet he was not nice and uh bass would have to join the 228 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:45,520 local school and that immediately it gets worse uh because unfortunately um bass would be bullied 229 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,480 straight away and because he was a little you know he was essentially the posh boy who had lost all 230 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:58,480 their money and now he's come to the rougher side of the area and he was picked on by a particular 231 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:04,000 slightly tubbier older kid we can all we all see the cliche like in our heads right now 232 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,400 and his name was a bit on their nose his name was craven but it's like kevin spelt wrong 233 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:18,400 it's like craven is in like if someone is craven silly a little bit on their head there and craven 234 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:25,360 and his cronies they called them one of which was called judas and yeah pretty much they would uh 235 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:30,400 literally attack him pretty much every day after school at one point they even stabbed him and he 236 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,880 had to just walk home and he was like christ and every time the old sarge would just kind of 237 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:42,880 you know knit his wounds and said did you fight back today and he was like no but eventually one 238 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:49,680 day he gets so pissed off that he decides like i will so he brings his he's like you know when 239 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:55,200 someone says like oh you shouldn't bring a knife to a gunfight uh doesn't matter for sebastian 240 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,840 because he brings a knife to a knife fight and he they immediately pull out knives on him one time 241 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:07,040 in an alleyway and he just loses his crap and just launches himself at the bullies he makes craven 242 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:14,000 cry kicks him super hard in the nuts um it's a really big scene in that book he's like literally 243 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:21,600 actually like proper crack in there and then when he gets back he realizes like well when craven's 244 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,240 crying he's like i'm sorry so sorry you know it wasn't my fault the old sarge he paid me 245 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:36,160 i know so oh so bat is like you're lying surely and then craven is not lying here so when bass 246 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,800 gets back he kind of has that weird mexican standoff when they're both in the doorway 247 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,000 like the old sarge is in the house and then bass is sitting there and he goes did you like did you 248 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,760 send them kid and then it was like it's a bit of a weird standoff moment where he kind of hates 249 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,480 the old sarge and then you're like why did you do it and then it's because the old sarge goes 250 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:03,120 because i needed to make you strong it's like oh so it was all in the way like training and 251 00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:12,560 it's an it's the beginning this is where sebastian yarick is kind of uh born he very much admits to 252 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:21,840 himself like oh i uh i i did all these fighting but i actually realized in my own heart of hearts 253 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:27,280 i actually enjoyed it i like and he asked the old sarge will you train me it's kind of the 254 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:35,600 the ugwe moment but ugwe's an alcoholic old retiree and he's a bit abusive it's more like 255 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,160 like cobra kai was just like ah the mentor's like oh he's got a bit of a drinking problem he's a bit 256 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:47,040 of a dick but oh well he's gonna yeah a little bit uh so old sarge begins to train him it's 257 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:54,160 pretty ruthless but because you know it this is old guard training so he is he's only a first 258 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:00,000 edition training right yeah this is this is first edition uh warhammer training um but fortunately 259 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,640 one day it would all have to end because something was invading in the skies and the old sarge says 260 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,160 uh the guard never forgets they're gonna call me up and says like remember to be strong and he says 261 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:18,560 you know goodbye yarick because that's the name of his grandfather and he never sees him again 262 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:24,720 unfortunately and in fact uh good old sebastian wouldn't see anyone at that point because it's 263 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:31,200 actually an orc invasion as andy mentioned earlier and the orcs land into teo 3 and they immediately 264 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,480 win everything is destroyed and sebastian has to essentially use his training and he 265 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:43,360 sort of lives in the sewers and goes underground he hides from all the orcs for months and he's 266 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:49,200 eating nothing he sets up like little um you know you know like vietnam what they called like the 267 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,240 men who said go through tunnels because they were like short i don't know the name of it it was like 268 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:00,240 a rat something they all remembers um probably tunnel rats if i had to tunnel rats that was it 269 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,840 um essentially has to become like that tunnel snakes tunnel snakes rule 270 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:12,640 rule and he has uh he says like weird traps i want them like well they um 271 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,640 all the tiny orcs cause it not noblars but the court is it gretchen gretchen noblars 272 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:30,160 yeah they they're like the gretchen for the ogres and um the he has a moment where like one time 273 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,000 it's like him and the gretchen kind of fighting kind of like you know the gretchen's like chuckie 274 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,400 the little like creepy doll and like he has like kind of stabbed it he's like 275 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,520 they're literally yelling at each other and he has to like beat it up we're like 276 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,680 yeah he does like weird like booby traps so he kills some orcs that way 277 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,960 when he's only like 10 at this point so he's pretty young and it's a pretty horrible existence 278 00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:00,160 for like he thinks it's all over and this is just it um he thinks he's gonna die at any point really 279 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,560 like he's he doesn't even sleep he sleeps like with knives across his chest like there's 280 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:11,440 he doesn't even get full sleep and then one day he's looking over into the orc camp and he sees a 281 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:19,040 sort of caravan of captured humans are put in a cage and here's this weird moment where he's 282 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,000 looking at the people in the cage and sees a boy who's like his age and their eyes kind of meet 283 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,080 and since sebastian has been alone for so long they kind of have a connection of like that 284 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:37,520 like kind of survivor's desperation and they kind of they both kiss you know oh it's actually 285 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:44,080 somewhat implied some people take this moment as it's implied that sebastian um is somewhat 286 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,520 as in his sexuality is up for debate we're not sure but it's not really clear in the book 287 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,040 in the book but i mean again they're children so it's kind of harmless at this point it's not that 288 00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:01,520 but um this other charlotte he goes out to talk to him he realized the the kid doesn't have a tongue 289 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,160 but he can still speak to him because he's got a brand on his uh forehead which means he was a 290 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,960 psycho so they cut out his tongue and obviously they're persecutors in the imperium and the boy 291 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,400 like talks to him in his mind and one night like he's been he just realizes like i don't want to be 292 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:21,600 alone anymore so he goes to break the boy out and then the orcs like sleeping they're all drunk 293 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:28,880 and it gets it doesn't go well where the people this is a bit where you you know you're watching 294 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,520 a film and like there's that one person who panics in the film you're like you want to grab him like 295 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:39,040 shut up you know so some there's like some people in the cage that are like they're too desperate 296 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,640 to escape as like yarick so sebastian so he gets like the key from like a sleeping orc and they 297 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,120 start to panic and make noise one of them is like let me out let me out and then literally gets them 298 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:56,400 all killed and apart from the uh boy because the other ones are just being slaughtered because the 299 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:03,520 orcs have woken up uh little sebastian the boy they run off together and for a bit like it's not 300 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,000 within they don't this is the same night so they're not like run off into the you know the sunset or 301 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,880 anything like that and they're being chased and they realize that munitions are suddenly dropping 302 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:18,640 around them like there's a firefight happening that's because the imperium has come back and 303 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,040 so they see like the imperial guard but they fall through like a gap on like a roof they're being 304 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:28,320 chased by the orcs they're gunshots everywhere and once they fall down this layer they're both like 305 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:36,000 oh my god we survived and then the boy uh unfortunately gets uh killed here the other 306 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,400 boy not sebastian and he sees it happen in front of him and he literally sees um a squad of imperial 307 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,560 god come up and they said oh my god what have they done they go oh no it's just a little old psycho 308 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:52,320 they see his forehead uh mark and sebastian just loses it because like that's like literally my 309 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:58,880 only friend i had for months and it's like i just lost it straight away come on and he attacks like 310 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,760 he attacks an adult he's only 10 years old remember but he manages like take kind of take down 311 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,800 this imperial god and he just goes like this kid just stabbed me like he's just oh it really hurt 312 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:17,760 ow yarick bit me pretty much and uh they kind of knock him out teeth yeah he kind of is like a 313 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:24,880 ravenous dog but then uh another uniformed man approaches said wait a minute because he looks at 314 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,680 sebastian he goes like hmm so you've rubbed yourself in dung you've been you've made survival 315 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:35,120 tools he kind of sees like the genius obviously the lessons of old sarge here and the man says 316 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:42,720 listen there's possibly a thing we can do for maybe kids like you orphans of war and so he basically 317 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,440 says you know where are you going to take me and he goes oh well i see i'm a commissar and i'm going 318 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:53,840 to take you to a the scholar virginian so this is the kind of the end of the short story here 319 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:59,600 and this is like more like a general law where he now at the very end of that book he says like 320 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,560 what's the kid's name he's like bas sebastian within it i'm bass is short for sebastian 321 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,280 and then he kind of pauses because he's going to give his real name his last name they decide not 322 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,640 to he says my last name is yarick because he decides to then become sebastian yarick as a way 323 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:20,480 to honor the old sarge whose name was yarick so uh sebastian i can't remember his original 324 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:28,000 is it mentioned i think it is it's mentioned like very it's only mentioned once very briefly in the 325 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,400 book but it's like again he never uses it ever in even then he's actually not called he literally 326 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,200 call him bass throughout the entire uh novel and then he's called like sebastian right at the end 327 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:45,520 so you don't even know and um he basically discards his old name no one will ever know it 328 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:53,040 and he becomes sebastian yarick uh from there on and he would go join the scholar progenium as we 329 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:59,040 said it's kind of like crappy hogwarts where there are people in the walls not scaven unfortunately 330 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:06,720 and this is where he would uh train ruthlessly to become well eventually they do somewhat specialized 331 00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:12,560 later so he's not quite a commissar yet so they go off to be soldiers so he fights in many regiments 332 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:19,920 he sees battle on many planets as andy did mention earlier he learns orcish from a traveling merchant 333 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:26,080 he was supposedly captured by orcs long ago he'd also funny enough he actually would make friends 334 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:33,440 here and he was known for being yarick was like the kind of more quiet reserved intelligent one 335 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,760 but he did have a sense of humor so it would come out sometimes he often made friends with people 336 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,280 who were like kind of the opposite of him so he had a good friend named uh commissar seraph who 337 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,280 will come up actually quite a bit although we're not going to like him towards the end of this 338 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,800 story i i do like how you were talking how the idea of yarick learning the orcish language he's 339 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:59,040 talking to the guy and he's trying like pronouncing is like wanker wanker no wanker and just like 340 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,560 going through like the the specifics of like the hard k's and the like the phrasing of like kind 341 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:10,480 of because it's cockney basically orcish language is basically just like oh i i'm an orc just 342 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,360 yeah he would best impression well apparently he he picked it up quite well obviously yet the 343 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,400 members well that's like kind of his childhood trauma as well which is a very bizarre so this 344 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:28,400 is kind of where he's definitely despises orcs even from this um earlier age and uh he would also 345 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:36,960 at the scholar virginium meet a man who was called lord commissar rasp now lord commissar rasp was a 346 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:44,000 veteran commissar he was very very intelligent i think it goes it shows really well in the books 347 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:49,360 where you know you meet characters that are really well written in a lot of things you can kind of 348 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:55,440 tell like the intelligence the intelligence of them comes through not that they're using big words 349 00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,960 or anything like that but they kind of there's a little um i can't think of the word for it but 350 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:07,360 there's a subtle genius to their kind the way they talk and they see through people in a way 351 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:14,240 rasp was very good at being a commissar he'd been a commissar for a long time and he did have a 352 00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:20,880 certain word of wisdom for one of the boys to read out for it i do have a slight quote which was 353 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:28,720 a sort of off-handed comment spoken by mr roth i will ask i think uh or either elai or colin which 354 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:35,600 one you want to do the first one they're not too when people have been deprived of ability to act 355 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,480 they will respond to leadership with gratitude and vigor to have direction becomes a form of 356 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,280 salvation in its own right harness this human characteristic and there is very little that you 357 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:53,200 cannot accomplish so that's one of uh lord commissar roth's kind of initial saying slash 358 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:59,040 bits of wisdom that he will pass on because it's the role of the commissar is much more than just 359 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:06,320 being a soldier it's about as we will see going forward being a symbol and the first time this 360 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:13,920 would need to be uh used um unfortunately it would be actually this book is a really good book so if 361 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,680 anyone does want to read the yarrick book this one i recommend it absolutely uh but we're going 362 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:25,680 to go through a brief summary of it here this would be on the world known as miss straw or 363 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:31,120 mistral not minstrel the chocolate that's in the uk that's made by galaxy if anyone remembers that 364 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:36,640 it's getting a bit old now i know i did think i called it minstrel every time i read it and um 365 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:44,320 mistral is a an ecclesiarchy world which you don't often see in a lot of warhammer stories it's kind 366 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:49,440 of usually it's either not done well or it's just kind of like oh there's a thing that happens 367 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:54,800 on one of them but you don't this is the first time you see it up close they tend to also be like 368 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,880 oh that's a that's a sororitas thing that's in their books so they try to keep them quite 369 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,560 separate a lot of times like oh that gels with that faction we'll keep that separate from the 370 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,040 rest of the setting a lot of the time well we're going to be seeing some of them bit of a spoiler 371 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:15,200 there i would say here but um good old this ecclesiarchy world is not perhaps it's not an 372 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:22,880 incredibly populous one but it is an important one sort of a seat of um monastic power in a way 373 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:29,040 it's ruled by the the you you've you probably will be surprised by this the corrupt cardinal 374 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:40,080 known as vagaheim um vagaheim is described in the book as an overweight like just you know you know 375 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:46,240 like you're imagining uh from history the borgias it's kind of like um rodrigo borgia if anyone 376 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:50,400 knows their history he's kind of described in the sort of i've played assassin's creed too and 377 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:56,080 they're in that assassin's creed brotherhood of everyone has done that he's i think he kind of is 378 00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:02,720 a bit more i know he's more in two but he's a little bit at the end of uh that one too and 379 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:10,640 vagaheim uh has asked the imperial guard to come to the world to destroy a rebelling so-called 380 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:17,520 noble there's like a kind of ongoing beef that we'll get into about this and this starts with 381 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:24,560 an opening battle where uh seraph uh yaruk and rasp have arrived and they're attacking this 382 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,800 noble's compound it begins like this massive opening battle where yaruk is called following 383 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:36,560 in with the men like on the front lines as they have like tanks and rocket launch like booming 384 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:41,200 against this structure yeah it does describe it like yaruk carried around a saber and he cuts 385 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,360 down a few men he kind of goes like oh shit like this is like weird to be this up close to people 386 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,080 and do it by him with a sword usually he has a gun because it's the first time he's kind of being 387 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:57,200 a commissar rather than just a soldier and they fight well as they're approaching this compound 388 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:04,000 the gates kind of blast open and there's this corrupted uh titan that walks out but it's not 389 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,720 quite like it's a bit broken this one doesn't have like all the shielding and all the guns working 390 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:15,200 something's quite wrong with it and they all kind of go oh that's disgusting that thing 391 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,080 uh yaruk and his men get up close and they manage to throw some missile launch at it they eventually 392 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:26,000 bring it down uh there's a really weird point in the book where they mention how when the titan 393 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:31,760 is falling over it lets out a death cry like an animal would and they said it's so haunting it 394 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,480 made like their whole body shake on the inside and they said as long as they lived they would always 395 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:42,000 remember that haunting scream it sounded like a weird so that you can tell something's a bit wrong 396 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,960 with this and they eventually do get further on into the compound uh only the commissars go into 397 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:55,200 the compound because obviously their minds a little bit more less they are tuned to what they're about 398 00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:02,480 to see and they eventually discover the evidence of a chaos cult now commissars most the imperium 399 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:08,560 do not have knowledge of chaos particularly the uh normal imperial guard obviously commissars are 400 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:14,720 somewhat educated on it not as much as the inquisition would be and they discovered 401 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:19,840 obviously something is big is brewing on mistral there's something that means that they can't just 402 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,920 destroy this noble and then they have to leave there's obviously something bigger going on 403 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:31,040 they also run into a inquisitor on this world this guy by the way few most inquisitors in 404 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,760 warhammer are usually pretty intelligent and you know maybe they're a bit a bit a bit of a 405 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:41,120 dickhead sometimes but they'll do it for a reason this guy is what you would this guy is clapped 406 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:48,480 this guy is a total absolute bellend of a character and he is just like he's one of those like um 407 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:55,040 i think someone would describe him as he's been shouting and spewing out ideas for so long he can 408 00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:00,480 no longer hear people because he's just he's so convinced he's right he's absolute blow 409 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:06,400 the sound of his own voice kind of character or like oh he is so parallel from game of thrones 410 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:12,240 like oh i'm so cool look at me it's my stuff don't touch my toys where's my i'd call him i'd say he's 411 00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:19,840 like a somewhat more athletic rudy giuliani if anyone knows the reference to that which is uh in 412 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:27,840 terms of me not to bring too much real world politics and there's clearly a bit more as they 413 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:34,000 uh sort of venture into the capital of mistral they see that there's the well first of all 414 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:40,320 yaruk is even though he grew up in a little bit of wealth he is shocked by the absolute ostentation 415 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,160 and wealth of the ecclesiarchy everything is dripping in gold and it's obviously statues of the 416 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:54,080 emperors cardinals sororitas everywhere it's one of those ones you go ah this is like church 417 00:43:54,080 --> 00:44:01,040 this was what like if it would be on the nose church corruption is and it yaruk is uh particularly 418 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:06,320 uh lord ross finds it very distasteful and they're not impressed but they often have to kind of show 419 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:13,120 up to these balls and these um evening sort of meetings to kind of you know put on a display 420 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:17,600 because obviously they're meant to be commissars they're meant to be you know they're like tight 421 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,840 black uniforms they're like the face of the the guard in a way like you're not going to get a 422 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,520 you're not going to get a typical guardsman going because he's too scruffy he's like commissars 423 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,960 they're in charge they're the ones who are specially trained they have the nice hats 424 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,920 like put them in charge there they're the nice face of the the military and there's a they kind 425 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,120 of get to understand that there's there's more than just that corrupt noble so first of all there's 426 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:47,360 a chaos cult clearly on mistral and then there's also excuse me there's also a problem with uh the 427 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:54,480 nobles have had so much of their power on the world been taken away by the uh cardinal vagaheim 428 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:59,200 who's making a power play it's kind of clearly lead to a civil war in some regard it's not to 429 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,240 deal with religion at all it's just about power and politics which they all play very well but 430 00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:09,760 something is clearly that basically mistrals ready to kick open if you know what i mean 431 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:17,120 and it does kick open as uh vagaheim you know when someone said earlier like someone is just 432 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:25,120 a they they take their shmeet and they slap on the table uh seems to do that where he for 433 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:33,120 extra for an extra layer of protection he um has called that a holy relic be brought to mistral 434 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:39,760 and the relic is guarded by a contingent of sisters of sight of this is a battle sorry and 435 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,760 it very much everyone could tell like they're not happy to be here they're led by a lee sister 436 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:52,080 called uh sethano she's very important to yarek's story so remember that name she's a absolute like 437 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:58,720 get it done kind of woman she's quite cool and the next day they're going to leave the relic 438 00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:03,040 the relic through the town as sort of as vagaheim is displaying his power he's kind of lure the 439 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:10,720 nobles essentially into open conflict he's just daring them to do it and yarek is not yarek 440 00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:14,640 rasps they're off they're not they're like something's about to go down they can feel it 441 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,440 people being kidnapped in the streets some what has been rumors of people being going missing 442 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:25,760 something's wrong and as they do the parade through the central squares the entire central 443 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:32,080 square blows up and and immediately the city starts blowing up in different locations and 444 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:39,520 chaos cultists pour out of all the sewers and then vagaheim by the way as has happened these 445 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:47,120 sisters protect the relic like pretty disciplined um vagaheim is like this is not what i meant this 446 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,960 is not what i thought would happen this is a bit more this is a bit much this is clearly not 447 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:57,520 he didn't expect the chaos cult so this has gone wrong for him and what makes it properly grim dark 448 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:03,040 here is that this the citizens start to panic and when the citizens panic they start to run 449 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,120 and all the guard like get up their guns they say everyone needs to stay still they're shouting 450 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:12,640 about stop stop stop but clearly people are too panicked and they actually in much as they hate 451 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:17,600 to do it yarek and the other commentators order them to do like like a warning shot nothing happens 452 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,600 second warning shot nothing and so they eventually like they fire into the city and then they're 453 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:27,440 like get the heavy bolter we need to get this sorted now oh no it's so grawler they fire into 454 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:32,640 the civilians like wipe you know a single shot just like they wipe out a few and that seems to 455 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,480 make everyone like stand still and they're like oh all would have been restored but it's like 456 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,880 basically everyone's like crying and like you know panicked and shot like what the hell just 457 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:46,480 happened it's clearly gone out of control all the guard that have been um either placed throughout 458 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:52,560 the city or have been on the march they have been like broken up into sections as explodes explosions 459 00:47:52,560 --> 00:48:01,360 have um cut them off from each other and essentially the up the chaos uprising has begun yarek decides 460 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:08,160 like all the vox is down so they have to start lead the men across the entire city um excuse me 461 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:14,160 there's a few like epic street battles where like some chaos tainted machines like break out of the 462 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:20,160 sewers and they have to like they literally there's a bit where yarek is going we need to get out of 463 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:26,160 the way this thing and it's just a like they break into um house and then like rush and like buff 464 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:31,280 like headbutt themselves in get up the stairs quickly and then like set up uh rocket launches 465 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:37,040 across the place they're like chaos symbols extra onto loads of the machines and the cultists and 466 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,200 then they kind of notice like some of the men if they stare at them too long they get a little bit 467 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:46,400 like dazed and they're like i don't want to fight some reason and this is the first time where yarek 468 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:52,640 actually has to kill one of his own men as an as a much so a commissar probably you're is famous 469 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,280 for doing he has to shoot one of his own men here and it's one of those moments he knew it would like 470 00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:01,120 he'd have to do it eventually he probably would have to kill thousands of men it was his right of 471 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:06,720 passage in a way true commissar until you've killed a civilian he doesn't feel like good about doing 472 00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:10,400 it it's kind of a he literally goes like why do you make me he's like he kind of gets annoyed in 473 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,880 his own cell he doesn't say anything but he's like why did you make me do this and then he kind of 474 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:21,120 takes out the leadership of the guy who was meant to be leading um the unit and kind of this is 475 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:28,720 where he learns to quote be the symbol and at least a really epic scene where like munitions are 476 00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:33,840 firing down on them as they realized the outer walls so they defended the inner city from like 477 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:39,520 the uprising part from the sewers and they realized oh and a force is coming to the outer walls 478 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:44,880 and so they rushed to the outer walls they reunites with seraph and the dickhead inquisitor who by 479 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:51,440 the way got himself captured and they had to rescue him and he was not thankful one bit and 480 00:49:52,640 --> 00:50:00,160 they eventually lead the men in a well basically night starts to fall and they're being bombed by 481 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:04,240 munitions one lands like right near them and he can't even hear anything yarek but he literally 482 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:10,640 stands up first and like draws his saber and he stands like above the battle line because he has 483 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:15,840 to be the symbol for people and obviously everyone rallies around him being like you know fuck yeah 484 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,320 so this is where yarek is he's exhausted at this point and he just this is obviously what a 485 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:26,560 commas commissar is meant to be there's a night siege where they describe it as the only light 486 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:34,160 is just lasguns and it's just an absolute wall of lasguns and then ladders that climb the outer walls 487 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:39,680 they cut down they literally fight the entire night it's one that's like really i think the way 488 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:44,240 to describe it in the book i don't quite do it justice unfortunately but it's an amazing 489 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,560 scene where you can almost like imagine it's definitely like a world war one kind of storming 490 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:55,280 the trenches but on from the other side kind of vibe you know i mean and uh yeah they eventually 491 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,720 managed to hold off the outer walls for a bit and they have a bit of breathing room they're thinking 492 00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:02,800 because because you know at this point everyone's going oh quite a lot has happened i'm exhausted 493 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:10,480 from reading this damn book and uh they have a bit of breathing room and clearly it's begun to show 494 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,800 that cardinal varghain is not as clever as he thought he was because he's kind of crumbling 495 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:21,280 under the leadership he should be showing the sisters of battle are kind of locked in place 496 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:25,200 they kind of need to protect the relic but they're a bit like we want to get out there and kill chaos 497 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:35,840 cultists and uh mr old uh commissar no mr old varghain is not really letting them um eventually 498 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:40,480 they have a meeting and then everyone sort of learns to ignore varghain is like everyone kind 499 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:46,160 of recognizes he's not really intelligent i should also mention this point lord uh lord commissar 500 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:53,040 rasp yarick's mentor has also gone missing they're not really sure where he is they presume he's dead 501 00:51:53,040 --> 00:52:00,240 and as yarick is kind of putting it together like something is clearly you know how did this start 502 00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:06,160 how did chaos get in and he kind of puts it together that this isn't even though they've 503 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,160 distracted them with loads of these attacks they actually want to take out the leadership 504 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:14,560 which they believe is he like there's no way they're going from like oh they are it's actually 505 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:22,000 varghain they're really targeting and he goes he rushes back into varghain's um sort of cathedral 506 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:29,840 place and they realize like underneath a sort of chaos demons have started to spawn this is the 507 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:35,520 only time where the actual inquisitor is not a dickhead and they do him and yarick managed to 508 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:40,960 fight it off and some of their men but it's a weird moment where you can kind of see in the 509 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:47,280 imperium how they describe it where yarick says to the men well done we killed the the xenos allying 510 00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:52,320 with that even though you can see that the men don't quite believe him but they because there's 511 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:58,000 weird about seeing demons particularly they're not space marines and they're not obviously built 512 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:04,480 into hand or seeing chaos like that so a lot of them will obviously like once you see a demon it's 513 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:10,640 obviously going to kind of mess with your mental state and only like people who like the inquisitor 514 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:15,680 and yarick kind of have the training to shrug it off for a bit but even when they look at like 515 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,800 blue horrors and pink horrors which the ones they fight they kind of go on my brain wants to like 516 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,680 incorrect you know implode on itself because it hurts i like the idea of them if they were fighting 517 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,920 a blood first it's like well done for killing the xenos lads and they're like that's a weirdest 518 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:34,880 fucking xena's i've ever seen with fire coming out of its nostrils and a big tongue and oh yeah they 519 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:41,360 like it cuts into and it turns into like the two of them so like huh it reforms just like into warp 520 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:46,240 confetti like that i've never seen an orc do that before and this one's red what's going on it's a 521 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,560 luckily that that attack goes well and the sisters of battle actually come in at the end they're 522 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:56,080 basically like we're done listening to this idiot fargaheim and they eventually all they gather 523 00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:01,520 the forces in the city and decide like we actually have to we can't stay here this isn't tenable and 524 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:06,720 they leave and as literally as they're leaving this city gets blown up from a distance so it's 525 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:12,160 like oh just the nick of time and they're realizing that clearly it's actually the nobles who 526 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,040 they believed in beginning it was just political but now they're actually being corrupted by chaos 527 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:23,040 they realize and so they're going to a uh sort of sequestered uh nobles house and they're going to 528 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:29,600 attack it because clearly a chaos temple now this fight they managed to sort of um imagine it's 529 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:34,960 like masiya from um actually that pronounce that wrong but like masiya from assassin's creed 530 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:40,240 in your head like the temple sort of looks like that where they kind of you can get in through 531 00:54:40,240 --> 00:54:44,160 the gate but they're obviously like side entrances shout out to assassin's creed revelations everyone 532 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:50,720 has played that old ass game loads of hay bales everywhere pretty much there's ways to get around 533 00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:58,960 and um they attack this chaos temple this fight as they get in like they can see hordes like 534 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:03,520 captured people and they've slowly been corrupted and then even the nobles they look all twist and 535 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:10,480 it looks horrific to be in there like literally the floor is soaked in blood just anyway so it's 536 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:16,880 pretty horrific site and they eventually attack the nobles uh they find lord commissar rasp and 537 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:25,120 he's chained to a seat and his skin has been flayed off so that one is pretty awful uh 538 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:31,600 apparently he'd been beaten like the entire time because the the noble who's in basically started 539 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:37,200 this cult was actually used to be raft's old friend and they kind of tricked him into being captured 540 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:43,760 and it was a bit sad for lord rasp because he was so wise and a really good teacher and then he got 541 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:49,840 tricked by sort of um i don't know what's the word for it like we're nostalgia if you know what i mean 542 00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:57,840 and they start fighting uh inside the halls the scissors of battle yarek seraph the inquisitor 543 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:05,520 um and their forces it's a pretty bloody fight and eventually the nobles they're really from 544 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:13,040 a chaos tome and they start to infuse into one like weird being which by the way like 545 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,840 they all attack it like you know like it's like dnd where all the heroes attacking one monster but 546 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:23,280 they all get like smashed apart the only thing that happens at the beginning of the fight where 547 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:28,240 where yarek launches forward stabs in the head and just stuck there and the rest of them are trying 548 00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:33,680 to attack it they get swiped and battered away they don't even get close until yarek like manages 549 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:41,440 to get the sword in a bit deeper so this greater demon of zinch it managed to kind of again when 550 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:46,400 everyone was in the room was looking at it everyone was like my brain is essentially melting quite a 551 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:52,480 few of the men around the room just like i just might as well off myself at this point and yarek 552 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:57,520 managed to hold it together because obviously his he survived through so much so his will is strong 553 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:04,800 and he managed to stab the book that i mentioned earlier which was kind of how the nobles were 554 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:12,080 fused together into like that weird mutant creature and they uh the greater demon was 555 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:20,720 starting to be banished and it decided i need to punish this thing so it reached out and it started 556 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:26,720 to give visions as it was like melting away back into the warp and this is where yarek would see 557 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:37,440 vision of a things of the future disaster and a muscled green hateful silhouette a beast if you 558 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:44,480 will so obviously this is clearly a bit of a nod to where his story will be going a little more 559 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:52,480 subtle foreshadowing well i think this book was written like even after this second world war of 560 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:57,680 armageddon had been written into law if you know what i mean so that's kind of a known thing and 561 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:04,640 uh yarek here they kind of managed to win but everyone is like even seraph who's his friend 562 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:10,000 he's like part of his skull is like broken and like hanging open it's like pretty brutal this 563 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:16,240 book is really quite grim dark which i think a lot of people might like and if you enjoy that certain 564 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:23,280 uh tone to wahama and well i guess we all do in a way and um the ending of this book is quite 565 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:30,320 melancholic in a way because even though they've won it feels like the most pyrrhic victory of all 566 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:36,480 because quite a lot of yarek's men had died and unfortunately as i mentioned earlier lord 567 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:43,600 uh commissar rasp this he was a great man he had lived a long time and survived many wars 568 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,000 uh as i mentioned he was like the man he was like flayed on a chair essentially he's like 569 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:55,840 beaten and bloodied and he because the noble who had managed to trick him had been trying to turn 570 00:58:55,840 --> 00:59:03,040 him to chaos the entire time and sethano the sister of battle she'd also looked into the warp as 571 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,880 yarek had and they both when they were like talking to each other they were saying they've 572 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:12,560 probably both been fundamentally both been fundamentally like changed and broken in a way 573 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,200 and she asked like what are you going to do with rasp and yarek says like i just have to like give 574 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:23,120 him a chance because he's gonna as it as is the duty of a commissar they execute traitors and so 575 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:28,400 they need to see if um his friend and mentor is actually a traitor 576 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:35,120 just quit with that voice and unfortunately the way this book it doesn't say what happens in this 577 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:41,280 book if it happens on mistrial but it's very clearly implied that yarek judges that lord 578 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:48,720 commissar rasp uh is too far gone and so he kills him and this basically breaks him and seraph's 579 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:54,640 like decades long friendship seraph was quite like the outgoing like good friend he wasn't quite as 580 00:59:54,640 --> 01:00:00,480 smart as yarek so whenever they were doing talks with rasp speaking the book the dialogue is really 581 01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:05,280 good between the three of them where it's showing that yarek is actually like seeing a lot of time 582 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:12,160 the bigger picture and kind of how a commissar is meant to like the power of being a good symbol 583 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:18,240 in war literally leads to so much more victory for the imperium obviously as we can see very much why 584 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:24,560 the emperor himself is you know decked out as you know in his golden aura my armor it's a you have 585 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:33,040 to be a symbol and uh this is where uh yarek would then be assigned in the wake of this conflict to 586 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:39,840 the armageddon steel legion so they're here boys i don't think they're not in are they still resin 587 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:45,520 can you buy them as resin or they definitely like not even i think they're dead now sadly yeah 588 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:51,680 i'm not sure that i think they are my only knowledge is that all astra militarum players get shafted 589 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:56,000 when it comes to models because their favorite stuff becomes discontinued and then they have to 590 01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:02,240 find niche third fourth fifth edition like i want some vestroyan good luck mate so you need either 591 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:09,120 got to go on ebay to find it the very rare chance forge rolled has still has them in stock which 592 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:16,640 usually means a million times the price of regular plastic guardsmen or a third party and it's forge 593 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:24,960 world too yeah so sorry but it's not a secret but uh so this is yarek's kind of first you know proper 594 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:31,040 conflict in i guess like full story uh it's pretty brutal this story but it's really i wish i could 595 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:37,440 give the book justice but it's not a secret it's a very very very very very very very very very 596 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:42,240 i wish i could give the book justice but it's quite well done and obviously yarek has emerged 597 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:47,680 from it you know knowing what it means to be a commissar he knows that he can't quite be as quiet 598 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:53,120 as he usually has been he needs to be that you know what would eventually he would become which 599 01:01:53,120 --> 01:02:02,240 is that overwhelming sense of you know just i am the yarek in a way i think i had a second uh 600 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:08,320 quo is it still in the uh chat for someone to put them back in the chat uh perfect i think colin do 601 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:13,440 you see the second one in there i don't think it's the one that it's not the one that elie did it's 602 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:22,960 the second one it's the heroes of armageddon uh it's the when i think it's the let me just get 603 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:30,160 that quickly it's every soldier i think yeah i can read ah there it is yeah all right uh 604 01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:36,320 uh every soldier is a politician to some degree the higher the rank the greater the degree 605 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:41,040 but only the commissar is specifically tasked with those concerns if you think that your role 606 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:49,360 is simply a guardian of orthodoxy then you are a fool yes so yarek has learned to be essentially 607 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:55,760 more it's important to be more than a commissar um as well just you know he under he's been a 608 01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,880 soldier for a long time he understands the men but then he has to understand what that role will 609 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:06,320 take from him and what he has to impart on others and there's a short story that i think elie might 610 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:12,640 like so we're going to see some xenos in this next short story this is set between the next bigger 611 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:20,000 ones and i don't this the short story is set on like a really weird world when they describe it 612 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:25,440 how it's basically what would be like the moon of jupiter and so they can see like a massive ringed 613 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,760 planet but i think it's really cool you don't really get to see like that kind of level of vista 614 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:36,640 described in a lot of warhammer stuff and they're being attacked by chaos cultists and actual chaos 615 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:45,760 marines on this planet and yarek is quite fresh from mistral but so he's still not he's not he's 616 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:51,440 not you know he's still a veteran in some regards but he's not that old in a way and he's joined up 617 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:57,760 with a military group which is led by two men one of them is quite the good soldier the other man is 618 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,640 a very like charismatic he's the character typical charismatic soldier he's like come on lads let's 619 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:08,240 go have a jolly good war sort of that old world war one poster of you know come on come on let's 620 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:14,960 go and do pretty much and yarek is a bit like oh this guy but then because this is there to obviously 621 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:23,200 to ensure order he's not there to lead necessarily unless he has to and this conflict is they're 622 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:29,360 trying to potentially attack the cultists in their position the charismatic leader thing oh this is 623 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:35,120 just a ploy here let's go go they're weak let's go run over the ground and take it it's been a trap 624 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:41,200 immediately it's a trap and lozum get bombed as they do this quite they make it across but they 625 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:46,720 like a lot of lives have lost and this is a story where like this guy who's been very charismatic 626 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:51,760 and like you know the big leader the bit of a showboater the entire time he is like oh crap 627 01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:56,560 what have i done and he he goes a bit meek and he's not holding it together and they realize 628 01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:01,840 they're being attacked now by their flank so they have to run into these strange caverns that almost 629 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:08,960 look like tombs one could say and as they make it into these tombs the structure of the tombs is a 630 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:15,280 little bit odd this seems to be very angular it's made of a sort of darker kind of stone there seems 631 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:21,920 to be like lines of light that seems to lit up or light up the area and i think you probably 632 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:27,600 guessed what's inside this tomb they managed to like kind of set small ambushes yarik you know 633 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,280 helping set ambushes for the cultures so as soon as they walk in through a door they literally like 634 01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:35,760 obliterate them and then they actually have some chaos space rings that follow them in there 635 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:40,480 which is you know i don't know how they would even last five minutes and eventually retreat 636 01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:45,840 further in and they see an area where there's like a sort of a descending platform into a 637 01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:52,720 mist area and there's something making strange noises in the mist like like scraping metal 638 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:59,040 thing they kind of hide around the corner and they decide like something is clearly in there 639 01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:04,400 which obviously i think we can all probably guess what xenos is in there and they let the chaos 640 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:10,000 cultists and space rings walk past and then they just hear screams and they go like you know what 641 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,880 that's a fight for another day let's get back out and it's clearly we're gonna ignore that for a 642 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:19,680 minute yeah it's clearly implied that they're necrons down there and they've gone into a tomb 643 01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:27,360 that's clearly been invested with some other foul meat bag things and they eventually make their way 644 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:33,600 out and there are some other teams that have been separated the good soldier who's the other 645 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:42,080 commander uh yarik asks the charismatic guy who's kind of been losing it a bit since his failure 646 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:46,880 he asks him you need to tell you need to order the other men in the other tomb area to go further in 647 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:51,520 you know basically make the ultimate sacrifice and let the chaos get taken out with the necron 648 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:57,840 whatever's in there that missed and the charismatic soldier won't do it he just absolutely won't do it 649 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:03,440 it's like he's i'm done ordering people to their death and this is where yarik is a first time 650 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:08,240 where yarik he actually says he says to himself i actually have to kill a good person and he hates 651 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:13,840 that he has to do it but he does it anyway without hesitation but he's killed men who have hesitated 652 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:18,080 cowards he's used to killing cowards but this is the first time he ever thinks i've actually killed 653 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:23,280 just a good person who wasn't a good soldier so it's quite an interesting like dynamic and 654 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,360 obviously he has to then he's very angry with the guy in the end because like why do i have to live 655 01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,880 with that now because obviously it's on his conscience he obviously is a human being he's 656 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:39,600 not like a minor's killer like a space marine and they unfortunately don't really succeed in this 657 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:44,160 mission they do have to retreat but they definitely yarik says i gotta make a note for whatever's 658 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,640 clearly in this tomb because something's awakening here there's a nice short story 659 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:54,720 there's another short story which is like it's on another hive city where there's steel legion 660 01:07:54,720 --> 01:08:00,320 and yarik are ordered to like help take out some an uprising not specifically even chaos 661 01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:07,440 related they don't really know and they meet a sort of contingent of inquisitors so there's a 662 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:12,240 recurring theme in yarik's life of like inquisitors seems to be like the more dog he doesn't get the 663 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:17,040 eisenhorn ones he kind of gets the dog shit versions of inquisitors to be honest if an 664 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:23,200 inquisitor is in a story and it's not an inquisitor book they tend to do pretty badly and never really 665 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:28,240 like oh in the best way because they're not the ones who the story's about pretty much yes like 666 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:33,200 the target inquisitors if anyone i don't even know if target is bad to be honest but i just 667 01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:40,640 inquisitors from wish.com the target store brand inquisitor and the interesting part about this is 668 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:46,160 like clearly the inquisitors are not here to stop the uprising they're here for something else 669 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:52,240 and yarik's store sort of again like puts it together and he follows them and he realizes 670 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:57,360 they're actually not kind of the normal inquisition they're actually the resurrectionist 671 01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:02,640 faction inquisition i think there are other boys here want to explain if you guys know what the 672 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:10,960 resurrectionist faction is for the uh inquisition does anyone else know that one can't think of it 673 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:15,600 they're the ones who want to kill the emperor yeah yeah they want to kill these are the ones who are 674 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:20,080 like proper nutty and they want to kill the emperor so you can revive so i mean it's not 675 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:26,160 they're not completely they may not be wrong well i think they're like a there's a even the most 676 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:31,280 recent the lion book the whole plot is the the guy wants to kill the emperor so he can return to life 677 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:36,800 which supposedly is like obviously everyone's like it's a big no no even the lion's like that's just 678 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:46,320 a dumb idea i mean it could work it could work possibly high risk high reward it could work it 679 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,720 would work it's just a matter of oh well what's gonna happen at the time it takes for him to 680 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:56,400 respawn i think terror would imply that terror would basically implode if he didn't he doesn't 681 01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:06,720 keep resurrecting or something what's what's one planet yeah i live in it we don't live in it 682 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:14,160 my bones are buried deep within it oh no imperial fist need to find another planet to recruit from 683 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:25,280 big one god only necromunda and uh this um sort of he he sort of clashes with this resurrectionist 684 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:29,280 faction because they're clearly they're not here to help with the uprising they're here to do their 685 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:34,480 own nefarious stuff they try and kill him a few times he does end up like taking some of them out 686 01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:38,960 making some of them like back off in the end and they do kind of use the steel legion to sort of 687 01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:43,440 stop the uprising it's just a small short story but it's an interesting bit of like yarrick is not 688 01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:48,000 of like he knows it's not his place to question the inquisition in a way but he sort of goes 689 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,600 i've kind of got a hunch that you kind of don't really fit in with the inquisition you're actually 690 01:10:53,600 --> 01:11:00,800 a kind of far off order of it and yarrick would go on to serve with the steel legion for a long 691 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:06,880 time but this is where we have like a huge kind of time skip uh yarrick has been when we first 692 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:12,160 meet him he's sort of implies in his 40s or like maybe yeah early 40s which is considered young 693 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:18,320 in the imperium or at least for commissars and then we next join him when he's quite a bit older 694 01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:25,680 but he's had rejuvenation um treatments so he has been even though he's doesn't i think he says it 695 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:32,320 looks like he's still like possibly late 40s but actually like near 100 essentially in his you know 696 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,480 in his bones so even though he looks young and he could probably fight young he actually still like 697 01:11:36,480 --> 01:11:43,360 feels like he suffers he's like oh my back you know i mean he still aches my back aches oh oh 698 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:49,760 there's greenskins oh get me balter oh me bloody back me bloody back oh my knees click and um 699 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:59,120 every guy hitting their 30s right now um i'm all right memories for now and uh this is where we uh 700 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:06,000 this is the best book in my opinion this is Armageddon so this we meet yarrick as he arrives 701 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:13,280 back to Armageddon he goes to the capital hive city and uh for people listening Armageddon is 702 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:19,360 as anna said earlier it's a pretty important world and it is at this point uh inhabited by many 703 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:25,200 different um hive cities a huge like you know basically city stacked one city city city basically 704 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:33,520 a dystopian hellscape uh Armageddon is clogged full of smoke is industrial to the extremes it's 705 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:38,320 all love it is desert they do have a jungle in their equator but it's considered quite 706 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:46,000 fucking horrific if i may swear there like it's considered awful and um essentially the world is 707 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:51,840 clogged by smoke and then only the rich get to basically not they get to live kind of above that 708 01:12:51,840 --> 01:13:01,280 layer and everyone else is suffering yeah it's pretty much it is very much a hellscape it is 709 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:08,880 pretty industrial revolution levels of horror but isn't it also one of the like premier weapons 710 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:14,880 development and production yeah like oh you want guns made Armageddon is one of the most like 711 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:19,760 important ones for arming everyone because it makes so much weapons very much so and even 712 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:26,000 just also know how bad it is this armageddon obviously they wear like masks the steel legion 713 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:31,680 they wear even on other planets as well kind of like the um who are the infamous ones for only 714 01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:39,760 wearing the gas masks uh the great creed creed or yeah greeks greeks creed creed uh creed also kind 715 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:50,880 of a similar look and uh yarik arrives to somewhat of an ambush he meets with lord commander seraph 716 01:13:50,880 --> 01:14:00,480 so his once old friend and they yarik doesn't hate him but seraph despises yarik at this point 717 01:14:00,480 --> 01:14:08,160 because he's the one who killed rasp and he can't he never quite ever let it go and they've kind of 718 01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:13,440 hated him for decades at this point and seraph just basically managed to advance beyond yarik 719 01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:20,400 because yarik was given you know basically crap work for many decades an ambush in a meeting with 720 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:27,440 the overlord of armageddon named hermann von strabb there seems to be now it's not a subtle link 721 01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:34,640 but it seems to be the theme of the evil guy in yarik books having a german sounding name 722 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:40,560 sometimes now i don't know if there's any historical relation there but there seems to be 723 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:48,320 what are you referring to there's never once been an evil german no not one um just fictional ones 724 01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:55,920 like the one in zombies called rick tophan only in cod like every vampire ever in fantasy called 725 01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:04,800 zombies and um they kind of meet in it's designed as an ambush where yarik is said he is basically 726 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:12,960 forced to retire and he's being sent to hayley's hive to train essentially some guard and yarik 727 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,800 even debates this point like shall i actually just take out my pistol and shoot him in the face even 728 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:22,720 that he died and because he's just so pissed off with this and even the the over again described 729 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:29,280 as an overweight richly decorated evil villain character who doesn't care about the common people 730 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:34,960 sort of thing like von strab's a little bit smarter than uh vagaman you know back in the 731 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:43,360 mistral days could i yeah could could i drop some von strab lore that i love go for it uh his rise 732 01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:50,320 to power was because he was so unbelievably incompetent uh that his siblings did not consider 733 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:57,360 him a threat worth worrying about when they were trying to become planetary governors uh and so he 734 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:03,600 he had them killed because they assumed he was such an idiot that he could never uh pull it off 735 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:10,800 well he might just live up to that reputation as we see going forward um this is clearly 736 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:17,040 von strab and lord uh commissar seraph had clearly had an alliance here and yarik is going to be 737 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:23,040 sent to hayley's hive forced to be retired to live out or to die than nobody somewhere just training 738 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:29,440 the recruits which is not what clearly a commissar should be doing and but that would never get to 739 01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:34,800 happen because clearly something has been going awry with the warp in the area for some reason 740 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:41,440 and uh before yarik could even get to hayley's hive which one of the smaller hive cities 741 01:16:42,480 --> 01:16:52,320 they see in the sky this massive giant moon-sized base rocketing towards armageddon this would be 742 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:59,760 actually where they're actually having a parade at the day and everyone's like oh crap and they 743 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:06,400 realize like something is about to just smash us the the guarding fleet of armageddon is immediately 744 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:12,320 munched in like a second like it just gets like flattened they'd be like a fly getting hit by like 745 01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:20,640 a football or a you know basically in in midair it's actually crunk and even here yarik just 746 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:25,040 realizes like everyone is like looking away and scared but he actually stands up and like stares 747 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:30,160 at it hatefully because in his old age he's become a little bit more hateful and gritty 748 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:35,280 as as much as reputation and he even says to himself now like i need to play the role i need 749 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:40,560 to be the symbol again i start doing it immediately and his best Clint Eastwood impression he goes is 750 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:49,440 that a damn green scale on my lawn yeah pretty much and um yeah immediately as we said earlier 751 01:17:49,440 --> 01:17:56,560 good old you know quite competent uh Herman von Straub because he's so corrupt he this massive 752 01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:03,600 moon like slams into the planet like quite far away like below the equator line and like the 753 01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:09,520 whole planet like shakes a little bit and he doesn't immediately like send out like their 754 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:14,880 forces to attack it they kind of all lock up into their high cities and he sends out like a token 755 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:24,160 force helmed by guess who yarik who's clearly meant to die um here and yarik is absolutely like he 756 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,600 can't believe that he does that we there's no way we'd be able to beat whatever's coming for us 757 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:33,440 but that's all the force of the highest cities unite but never mind a token force is sent out 758 01:18:33,440 --> 01:18:41,440 yarik also reunites with a very old face here it is the battle sister known as Sethano who was 759 01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:48,560 previously on Mistral although something has changed to her since then her garbs are no longer 760 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:55,840 decorated i think in it might have been the barbed thought rose or the poison rose i think was the 761 01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:03,520 name of her order because since the events of Mistral her order has been wiped out as it was 762 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:08,160 deemed a heretical which is very weird because it's not you think like they didn't turn to 763 01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:12,080 heretics i think they may be it's one of those ecclesiarchy things where like they basically 764 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:17,520 didn't turn out to be the way they wanted them do you remember what the order was called pierced 765 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:22,880 thorn something like that that's very yeah that's like if it's not the sacred rose or the white it's 766 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:27,680 not one the main ones it was a minor yeah it's like a minor minor major there's like militant 767 01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:33,120 majoris and there's militant minoris so it's one of those ones and so he meets with her and it's 768 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,960 really funny because as soon as he sees it he goes like oh shit you know i mean like because he 769 01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:41,520 basically knows like as soon as i see you i know things are bad because she obviously she is she's 770 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:46,960 anyone who's allowed to live uh because she's anyone considered not corrupt um from the order 771 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:51,840 but she's lost all the color in her clothes she basically is decked in greys from now on 772 01:19:52,560 --> 01:20:01,360 and they form an alliance with the uh princeps known as manaheim princeps are the pilots for 773 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:06,960 massive titans who's one of the titan legions who basically reside on armageddon because they're the 774 01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:13,440 people who like kind of have their heads on together and uh yarok and sethano they eventually lead the 775 01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:19,200 city together with princeps manaheim like staying behind to well first of all guard the corrupt 776 01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:25,040 herman who he has to follow orders but unfortunately and also to kind of encourage them to actually go 777 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:29,600 out and fight because as much as herman is pretending he has it all figured out it's like 778 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:33,200 oh i've got it it's all good people it's all good you know smoke smoke the hushies don't 779 01:20:33,200 --> 01:20:37,200 worry about it is that a moon that crashed in the pie it's fine don't worry about it it's fine he 780 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:41,280 doesn't get a painting decorating we'll just fix it it's fine don't worry it was he's like he 781 01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:46,880 definitely doesn't have it together so they um are roaming across the plain to wherever this 782 01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:55,760 supposed emmy force is obviously it's orcs the orcs are here the war has arrived and this first 783 01:20:55,760 --> 01:21:02,080 attack doesn't even get close it goes so poorly because they are set upon immediately as they're 784 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:08,240 like crossing these desert plains and this is where they first start to hear the names chanted 785 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:12,640 by the orcs they hear the name orcul hard like you know their orcs are crying out to their war 786 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:17,920 boss and they also hear the name gazkul which yarok kind of feels weird about hearing like whenever 787 01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:23,760 he hears it i think his his left arm sort of starts like tingling his and his eye does as well 788 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:30,560 so it's kind of a bit you know like more subtle foreshadowing yeah destiny destiny he feels the 789 01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:37,520 pain inflicted by the greater demon on mistral years ago and this attack goes so poorly they 790 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:42,160 immediately get set upon and like yarok and sethano are in a tank and it just gets blown up and they 791 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:48,880 get like thrown over to the side they crawl out and the orcs are on bikes and they descend upon 792 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:53,920 the soldiers who are not a lot of them are in transports so quite a few of them are walking 793 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:59,120 and yarok just literally leads from the front is like people are like what do we do he's like we 794 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:04,560 just have to run to the next hive city like whatever make it like i don't say i didn't say 795 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:08,480 stop and complain and then run to the next hive city i said run to the next hive city 796 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:12,240 and they because they know the orcs are going to catch up to them anytime soon 797 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:18,480 and there's this weird epic scene where the orc bikes have gone like around the flanks and they're 798 01:22:18,480 --> 01:22:24,240 and eventually they start to like head on charge them and yarok like doesn't even stop like they 799 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:31,680 just he's yelling in fury and anger we're like charge and so it's a horrific scene where the 800 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:38,160 orc bikers just smash into the imperial guard and it's described as like an actual like flurry of 801 01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:46,400 meat and bone everywhere which is pretty horrific and but obviously eventually because of yarok's 802 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:51,680 you know thinking they eventually the the orc bikes do stop because they get clogged up 803 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:57,440 and then they descend upon them and then they take them down which is like absolutely mental 804 01:22:57,440 --> 01:23:02,960 and eventually do kind of like the orcs are like oh my god they're crazy like the humans as well 805 01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:07,600 because obviously setheno is like setheno doesn't care about anything she's seen the warp doesn't 806 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:12,080 care she's dead on the inside and yarok is just like full of anger they're a weird reaction to 807 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:20,000 both obviously seeing hell and they eventually make it to i believe is hive tempestora yeah now 808 01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:27,680 hive tempestora is one that not the biggest hive cities but as a decently sized one quite a few 809 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:36,000 billion i think even a few million people live in there and is not gonna basically they were expecting 810 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:41,360 reinforcements the hive city but obviously hermann von straub is clearly not prepared for this 811 01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:49,120 battle at all and yarok says we can't hold this like we just cannot hold this city but we can do 812 01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:54,080 something with it so they he says like the civilians are allowed to either fight or flee 813 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:59,120 he gives him that option maynum choose to flee and even though some of them do flee they manage to 814 01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:03,520 like leave before the orc army gets there they are eventually every single one of the millions of 815 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:08,480 people are ran down by orcs and again yarok knew it would happen but that's like how horrific 816 01:24:08,480 --> 01:24:15,440 this siege and this like armageddon war was every city described that every single human died from 817 01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:24,720 that like millions and millions strong sort of great leaving of people and yarok decides they 818 01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:30,080 need to essentially damage the orcs they can't save tempestora but they can hurt the orcs so 819 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:35,840 they get the water system that goes around like all the pipes that filter and like send water 820 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:42,160 throughout the entire hive city they just change it and fit it with promethium one of the guys who 821 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,600 is in control that goes like that's crazy i'm not going to do that and yarok just goes up to him 822 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:51,200 and is like kiss kills him straight away the guy's in the middle of like apologizing because he 823 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:56,080 didn't realize a commissar ordered it but he just kills him anyway like there's no time to apologize 824 01:24:56,080 --> 01:25:02,720 or anything like that and so they managed to fill it with so promethium is like running through the 825 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:09,280 through the entire city now and they set up like an ambush where they try and bait the orcs in 826 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:14,080 and so some of the people have to hold the line there but then a lot of the men who are still 827 01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:18,640 with yarok they start retreating through the city and eventually they just start booking it and 828 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:22,720 they're like they're like we've got to get out of here at this point and eventually set off the 829 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:28,960 massive explosion and like the blast wave literally knocks them all off their feet and they're like 830 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:33,760 their ears are ringing and eventually make it outside the other side of the city only to see 831 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:38,800 it's so funny in this part of the book because obviously we're just like all that horrific death 832 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:43,760 before but then immediately the next scene is they're like getting into transports of 833 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:48,560 here like you know we just get to the next high city and they look to their right i think and then 834 01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:54,880 in the little forest bit there there's one orc who's like waving at them and it's like and then 835 01:25:54,880 --> 01:26:01,280 they shoot it eventually and it's yarok realizing that this gaz call had realized what was going to 836 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:06,960 happen he'd pre-planned like basically what was going to happen in this he knew it was a trap 837 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:15,200 essentially and so he had sent essentially like the fodder orcs to go into hive tempestora it wasn't 838 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:20,960 the main orc force in any capacity and that and he's realizing just and he's taunted yarok with 839 01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:27,360 that little messenger and then this is where yarok first like realizes oh crap this orc is actually 840 01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:32,320 smart and he's obviously been fighting and studying orcs for a long time so he's kind of going 841 01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:38,400 oh crap this is not a war like we've ever fought before i feel a bit sorry about that orc though 842 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:43,600 just like oh gaz was like gov the gormless i'm gonna send you to stand by the forest and just 843 01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:48,080 be like you're useless like you guys are oh i get a special mission that's pretty cool 844 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:54,880 oh 845 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:05,120 you think it's that bad so far so basically it says in the book when hive tempest because not 846 01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:12,080 everyone could also get out of the hive too so billions of people just died in this hive city 847 01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:16,240 which is like when you when you're reading this but you kind of go oh my god what the kill count 848 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:22,400 is enormous it's ridiculous but it gets worse because as they are leaving because obviously 849 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:26,800 yarok's having to make the hard decisions here about he's only just to save all the other hive 850 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:33,120 cities and it's not working currently so they retreat to another hive city i can't remember 851 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:38,000 the name of this one uh but it's not going to be on the map for very long because eventually they 852 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:46,640 get there and they've had time to set up a defense somewhat there but the entire orc the true orc 853 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:51,520 force just starts to arrive and they literally see it like slowly like the silhouettes of the 854 01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:57,920 gargants and all those things like quite slowly um like that's seen in hell's deep where they just 855 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:04,000 see the orcs the orcs approaching this is like this is the end oh that's raining is that but 856 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:09,200 worse because when they look they said it's not ending but they said like it's still going on 857 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:14,720 for miles like it's just an absolute wall of orcs and like huge and they can see these these orcs 858 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:21,600 are armored they have really good orc versions of equipment so this was clearly the main orc force 859 01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:27,440 and it's even larger than the one they had seen at tempestora but they don't have a plan to blow 860 01:28:27,440 --> 01:28:34,720 them up and so they realize that they can't they do have like an initial sally from the gate but 861 01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:40,080 again gazkull knew that this would happen or he calculated it and so again he sent like a way you 862 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:45,920 know it was like a diversion and he sent a counter-attacking force to try and cut off 863 01:28:46,480 --> 01:28:50,960 or yarek's men which they do get quite a few of them but they managed to just get back into the 864 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:57,680 settlement walls and yarek and sethano are talking they realize like we have to sacrifice this hive 865 01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:02,480 city as well which is slightly bigger than tempestora and they realize like are we just 866 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:09,200 we have to buy more time so we can basically uh defend the other ones was yarek decides we 867 01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:14,720 need to call for aid because this is clearly beyond what normal humans can fight and this is 868 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:20,480 perhaps the most like it's a very weird scene coming up i'll explain it but it's also the one 869 01:29:20,480 --> 01:29:27,520 of most like grim dark scenes where this hive city has a prison complex on an island like next to it 870 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:34,160 because there's some water around it and they and then basically sethano goes all right we're going 871 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:40,720 to buy some time i have an idea and they basically have this massive like huge elevator that and they 872 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:48,160 armed prisoners and they basically armed prisoners in waves and then they just send them at the orcs 873 01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:54,880 invading and essentially it describes like two waves of meat continuously clashing because 874 01:29:54,880 --> 01:30:00,640 sethano is you know becoming her true sister of battle like she's chanting out redemption for the 875 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:06,560 emperor for all you prisoners death redemption and death sort of thing and these prisoners are like 876 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:12,160 absolutely like zealot and furious and they lose it and so they basically match the orcs's 877 01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:18,720 kind of fury further yeah further yeah and it is a very cool scene obviously horrific 878 01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:24,640 below to describe it but it's literally like two wars of fanatics like smashing into each other 879 01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:28,080 and it's the first time that the humans are meeting the orcs and like holding them still 880 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:34,080 and there's a weird scene where like one of the prisoners is like sort of had like a come to 881 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:40,000 jesus moment like oh the emperor and then he's like watch me sethano like the citadel battle watch me 882 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:44,880 die in like glorious vein he gets like grabbed by a i can't remember the name of the orc thing but 883 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:48,640 it's like two pins it's like a crab and it basically slips him in half it's like oh god 884 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:56,480 it's uh and that basically happens essentially for an entire night the prisoners are just brought up 885 01:30:56,480 --> 01:31:00,400 also some of the guards are still alive in this city but they're fighting but and all i can hear 886 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:04,560 are just prayers and people screaming and they're like oh god i'm not gonna get sethano yet sethano 887 01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:10,480 holds it down she's chanting like war prayers to like send them into fervor the entire time was the 888 01:31:10,480 --> 01:31:17,520 orcs are like loving it and yarrow sneaks back into the capital city just you know he literally 889 01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:23,040 says like screw herman i need to send the message herman doesn't want to send out a message because 890 01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:28,000 he realizes it will make him look weak and he might lose control of armageddon so he's not asking 891 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:33,040 for help but yarrow says screw it and so he makes a plan like he basically steals his way into the 892 01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:39,040 ashiopathic choir and he kind of says to them listen we're all gonna die unless you send a signal 893 01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:44,480 and they go the warp's screwed if we do this we'll probably die and they went yeah it's like yeah 894 01:31:44,480 --> 01:31:50,080 what what choice do we have and so they kind of rebel against herman and yarrow and a few of the 895 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:55,040 guards there like have to defend them whilst they're being attacked by herman's own guards 896 01:31:55,040 --> 01:32:00,960 trying to send a signal eventually this massive like warp scream goes out and then they you know 897 01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:06,880 the yarrow's like you know call the adepts as the starties we need them he does succeed but then 898 01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:12,640 herman does capture him and basically go listen you're gonna you know he's like well done you 899 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:19,280 know all sarcastic and he realizes like i can't really kill a commissar in front of people because 900 01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:24,480 now like yarrow's in the light sort of thing people see him so it's like especially now he's 901 01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:29,120 been defending like oh you know that guy's done all that work defend you all like so now he probably 902 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:34,480 sends him to hades hive whilst sethano is basically using that other hive city as like a delay tactic 903 01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:41,120 like billions of people have died at this point in fact herman von strab during this conflict 904 01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:48,160 actually sells out one of the other hive cities to the orcs like opened the gates as like a bargaining 905 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:55,440 chip that's how like crazy he is and when yarrow arrives to hades hive he makes his vow like i've 906 01:32:55,440 --> 01:33:02,080 had two hive cities die i'm not having another one die like it's just not gonna happen even though 907 01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:07,760 hades hive is because it's one of the smaller ones but hades hive is positioned quite well it was an 908 01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:13,840 old mine it's positioned against a mountain so he's like i can actually make a plan here and he 909 01:33:14,480 --> 01:33:18,240 he actually does something crazy initially well like he hasn't done something crazy because we 910 01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:24,160 were fighting the entire time he walks into the middle like the gang territories like we're just 911 01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:28,960 one guard and they both say they'll go like oh what's this little pretty boy doing he's like 912 01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:32,720 stabbed with a knife just like you know take me to your leaders because we're about to be attacked 913 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:38,640 by orcs so they kind of unite the gangs of this hive city and basically goes i just need good 914 01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:47,280 fighting men and um he also takes over the city the governor tries to run away just like it's a 915 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:51,280 funny scene where he's like i'm praying in a monastery i swear i'm just praying for guidance 916 01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:56,240 there's a secret ladder underneath the monastery and he tries to get out and uh he tries to run 917 01:33:56,240 --> 01:34:04,000 away that way but they catch him and kill him and um they yarik like takes control he does his great 918 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:09,440 speech of like i am defending hades hive you know people were like oh my god that guy is 919 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:15,680 incredible he's like he's so yarik obviously not the most charismatic figure but his speeches are 920 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:21,280 incredible and obviously you can see like his absolute hate in his eyes the determination the grit to 921 01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:27,680 continue you know i didn't mention it earlier there's a phrase that much is like what lord 922 01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:34,080 rasp had said to him which is observe and learn which is a kind of thing it's hinted that gazkul 923 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:39,680 has been using that a lot he's been observing many things and worked out how to fight humans and yarik 924 01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:46,000 needs to learn he needs to observe and see how to actually beat gazkul now or at least there's orc 925 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:52,400 force and so they begin this proactive defense they use the mines that like there's like mineshafts 926 01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:58,880 underneath hades that stretch out way before the city and obviously the orcs are coming and 927 01:34:59,440 --> 01:35:03,680 they're preparing this ambush they've got bombs everywhere like underneath and they're like 928 01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:09,360 the little hatches they're ready to pop out and yarik hears something and he goes oh my god this 929 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:14,880 is why hermann von strab has not been worrying the entire time those are virus bombs he's gonna 930 01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:20,480 virus bomb his own planet he's absolutely insane so they actually run back into the mines they're 931 01:35:20,480 --> 01:35:26,960 running back like like fuck and then just like running back to get in and the bombs do go off 932 01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:34,800 some of hades hive does burn like a few people a few thousand die but because the virus bombs 933 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:39,360 are from the horrors heresy era they're so old that quite a few of them didn't go off properly 934 01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:45,120 but a lot of the orc force was actually killed by that not a lot of like around the planet but 935 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:51,840 the one attacking hades hive and so they kind of go yarik's like ah you know curse hermann he will 936 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:56,480 die for this because once once the imperium finds out you use a virus bombing at your own planet 937 01:35:56,480 --> 01:36:00,160 that's kind of like we can't have you around that's a war crime right there that's actually 938 01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:07,440 done and that's the imperium saying they're like that's a war oh yeah and um they sort of run back 939 01:36:07,440 --> 01:36:13,600 out because the orcs don't care that their friends have been turned into sludge and they prepare the 940 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:18,160 next they prepare the ambush and eventually they set off the bombs are in different mines and 941 01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:22,560 eventually all the gangs and the imperial guard have been formed into units by yarik they kind 942 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:28,400 of like leap out and they just basically butcher the first wave of orcs it's a really cool moment 943 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:32,400 in the where it's described like yarik like puts his foot you know like someone stands on a rock 944 01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:38,080 and looks majestic yarik kind of does that thing where he stands like really high up even though 945 01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:43,920 he knows he could get killed by doing that and he comes he's he's literally yarik the symbol and the 946 01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:49,360 orcs see him and they actually start to feel fear it's the first time it's described like the orcs 947 01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:55,840 feel fear because they see this absolutely raving angry face human who is like defying them and 948 01:36:55,840 --> 01:36:59,920 cutting them down so he'd be standing on a tactical rock of all things you can't match it 949 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:07,440 on a good old tactical rock and um it's an absolutely epic scene where he kind of he's 950 01:37:07,440 --> 01:37:11,440 just like fire issues like cool guys don't look at explosions kind of thing it's everywhere around 951 01:37:11,440 --> 01:37:17,440 him and they have their first victory so they retreat back into the mines and then they realized 952 01:37:17,440 --> 01:37:23,440 the orcs yarik is you know he's been a soldier for a long time as well so he's no dummy he 953 01:37:23,440 --> 01:37:28,720 realizes the orcs now know about the mines so they use that to their advantage i love this scene which 954 01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:34,000 is they see the orcs come they hear them come from the mines and they basically like plant people in 955 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:39,360 the walls like the little like from his days in the skull of progenium so that's not a bad idea 956 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:43,600 it literally is like you've got um steel legion in your walls essentially and they kind of pop 957 01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:47,840 out and they're like they basically ambush the orcs kind of like a prison fight in a way 958 01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:53,360 and they burn them in the minute and they also at some point they drown them there's a bit where they 959 01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:57,200 start to flood it with water so the orcs will drown there's some of their own men still like a few 960 01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:00,640 of them still sat down there but yarik's like we don't have time we have to do it you know at this 961 01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:05,360 point he's already condemned so many people to death but it's all about the ultimate victory you 962 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:13,200 know sparing more lives and they like drown the own the orcs and kind of the gangs are like fighting 963 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:18,960 like some of the gangs like wielding like weird ass you know necromunda like chain axe things and 964 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:25,760 it's like fighting yarik's like i've made my own force but meanwhile this is happening the siege 965 01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:31,600 above ground has still continued because the orcs are challenging and then they're getting raved up 966 01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:37,360 by someone quite big but it's not who you think they're challenging the name ugru hard ugru hard 967 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:45,600 ugru hard everywhere and eventually they hear this chant even now down in the deeper parts of the 968 01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:50,560 mines where yarik is and they realize like something is happening so this contingent of 969 01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:57,600 his manages to get back to the siege walls and they see the captain who was supposedly in charge 970 01:38:57,600 --> 01:39:04,560 of the war he's basically embattered and left off to the side and here stands before everyone 971 01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:11,520 but it's a massive orc his name is obviously ugru hard he's probably a chief one of the men 972 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:19,120 underneath gazkal and he's got this massive power claw and a lot of the fighting has stopped because 973 01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:25,440 they kind of see like oh this is the that's the that's the tough yumi get from earlier so a lot 974 01:39:25,440 --> 01:39:30,000 of them are like oh they kind of stop and they let the duel happen and obviously yarik is just an 975 01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:35,760 old dude so it doesn't he's not gonna win initially like ugru hard's like playing with him and he 976 01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:42,000 eventually grabs yarik's arm i think it's his left arm yarik feels his eye like he'll lose his eye 977 01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:47,840 at some point here and he was always like left arm it's not going to burn but it's not because of 978 01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:53,360 what's happening here it's definitely the it's a wound from when he saw the demon like it's 979 01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:59,680 basically fate is coming to happen and he's like ugru hard's playing with him while yarik tries to 980 01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:04,960 stab him with his sword he grabs yarik on his arm he literally lifts him up he's playing with him 981 01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:11,920 he starts to squeeze like he feels his bones break and eventually it squeezed so hard his arm severs 982 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:17,520 and yarik like falls to the ground screaming ugru hard is like laughing he's enjoying this 983 01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:22,240 like throwing the arm around like way way way you know like a little uh like jersey or something 984 01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:28,080 like that and eventually yarik like is about to pass out but he like bites through the pain and 985 01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:33,200 he kind of you know even though he's just a gnawing man he kind of like i'm not gonna die here he gets 986 01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:40,080 up and he like surprisingly managed to like stab ugru hard and well in the neck essentially and 987 01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:45,280 ugru hard is like what the hell and he eventually just cuts his head off straight away and he picks 988 01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:50,880 up his head with his one good hand and he's like shouts literally i have it here i am yarik he 989 01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:56,640 does in in the green skin tongue i look i should do that again because i should do this justice 990 01:40:56,640 --> 01:41:03,600 i am yarik i look upon you and you die so and he's like doing that like way above the 991 01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:09,680 orc line and they all like start to run because they're terrified of him and eventually yarik 992 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:18,880 goes and he just passed out and then just yeah and then this is where nap time he i mean he 993 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:27,120 he did and then um uh as he recovers he basically takes ugru hard's power claw uh be careful if you 994 01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:33,200 ever make a warhammer quiz and you clearly think it's a unique item but it's not because you may 995 01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:40,320 get in trouble and um he takes that as his like badge of office from ugru hard he has a you know 996 01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:48,160 the bionic old you know the bale eye with the laser put in and the the siege of hades hive continues 997 01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:54,240 but it continues for months like yarik has managed to slow down the pace of the entire war 998 01:41:55,440 --> 01:42:00,400 and there's a cool bit where like yarik often leaves like ambushes that are still like the 999 01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:05,200 orcs trying to get through the mines underneath and they like hit their power claw like will 1000 01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:12,320 reach out like claw through an entire wall and like cut down orcs and then he always leaves one 1001 01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:19,040 orc alive to basically spread the message as he's learned like he needs to you know observe and 1002 01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:24,560 learn like how much he can take from the orcs he needs to be feared not by his own men in a way 1003 01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:30,320 as much respected but feared by the orcs too and so he becomes old bale eye you know the one that 1004 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:37,120 orcs talk reverently about and eventually the space marines do come you know they blood angel 1005 01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:44,640 salamanders i think marines malevolent come to them as well for some reason oh no and 1006 01:42:44,640 --> 01:42:51,680 armageddon is eventually saved although mostly hades hive did fall but eventually obviously 1007 01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:59,120 when it's cleansed from the orcs yarik is held up as a hero seraph and well hermann von straub goes 1008 01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:03,840 into hiding he apparently just goes into a bunker he's like oh crap i can't be seen he's at the 1009 01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:08,160 awkward part you know the guy who everyone knows had like brought the toilet at a party or something 1010 01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:15,120 and the seraph goes away in disgrace because he just chose to ally with hermann rather than 1011 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:20,720 actually do his role as a commissar because he hated yarik more than he loved his role in a way 1012 01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:29,280 and yarik was like oh i could retire now i'm done no he couldn't he couldn't stomach retiring 1013 01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:36,240 the absolute chad couldn't handle it he's a workaholic pretty much and so yarik would rejoin 1014 01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:42,240 the guard or the commissar commissari and i don't know what things were there commissariate 1015 01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:48,720 commissariate and he would create an army and he would chase a gazkull to the world of golgotha 1016 01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:59,520 and the problem at this time was that yarik was a legend he was a big symbol but much of the 1017 01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:04,080 imperium is quite clearly corrupt and so he has to make a lot of compromises in creating this 1018 01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:09,200 you know this army that's going to chase gazkull so many of the people he recruits he has to kind of 1019 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:15,120 he like you know it's like six sons of nobles who maybe don't have as much military experience 1020 01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:20,720 but the fathers are willing to lend him his little precious son an entire regiment so 1021 01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,840 the army's got a lot of inexperienced men in it but it also has some of the 1022 01:44:26,480 --> 01:44:33,360 veterans of the second war of armageddon they've chased them all the way to the world of golgotha 1023 01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:39,280 where they are planning to attack gazkull like in person because yarik hates and despises him 1024 01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:48,080 and unfortunately they've run into a trap golgotha gazkull is not dumb as an orc and as much as he's 1025 01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:53,120 been like a kind of distant figure for yarik for a lot of this this is now they actually get to know 1026 01:44:53,120 --> 01:45:00,240 each other up close because they kind of only know each other by rumor and uh gazkull ambushes them 1027 01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:04,640 at golgotha the imperial army does poorly because of the inexperience of some of the soldiers 1028 01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:12,400 yarik is essentially ambushed loads of the men who were like who had survived the second war of 1029 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:17,920 armageddon who had followed yarik since hades like men he like he had known for years like on a 1030 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:23,840 personal basis they all die pretty much in this fight which is very sad and this is the first 1031 01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:30,000 time where yarik is like standing like his tank is destroyed it's like his famous like bane blade 1032 01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:35,920 that he rides on top of and he's like standing like in a haze of smoke and feces all the orcs 1033 01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:41,920 around him and then he finally sees him in person gazkull mag uruk thracke and he is 1034 01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:49,920 he literally is a walking he's not walking tank he's a walking stack of tanks this thing is so big 1035 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:54,880 and it's the first time they come face to face and yarik is like basically knocked out he's been 1036 01:45:54,880 --> 01:46:01,120 captured and when yarik awakens he finds that his power claw has been removed obviously getting 1037 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:08,000 up one arm and he doesn't have his bail eye in one eye as well and he is chained up held over a pit 1038 01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:15,200 and he is face to face with gazkull and even though yarik's an old guy he's an experienced 1039 01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:19,680 soldier he sort of says i should hold it together you know show him nothing but he can't hold it in 1040 01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:25,440 and he just starts yelling in gazkull's face like you will die by my hand because he just you know 1041 01:46:25,440 --> 01:46:30,400 for a amount of people who have died to gazkull and he literally yells him but gazkull's just 1042 01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:37,680 staring at him and he's kind of he starts to realize that gazkull is kind of inhabiting the 1043 01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:44,480 lessons of a commissar like gazkull is watching him and learning which is like oh like he's 1044 01:46:44,480 --> 01:46:49,840 actually doing what i did as a commissar and like i had to learn and be a symbol but like it's a weird 1045 01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:54,080 parallel where like in a way they're the same thing in each other's species that old movie 1046 01:46:54,080 --> 01:47:00,880 cliche you're not so different you and i pretty much yeah and they're like staring each other 1047 01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:05,840 like he's insulting him but gazkull just smiling the entire time in fact actually one of the orcs 1048 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:10,560 even makes a joke and like pokes yarik and immediately that's the only time like gazkull's 1049 01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:15,440 smile drop and he just kills the orc immediately and throws him down this pit and it takes a while 1050 01:47:15,440 --> 01:47:20,560 like it's a funny scene where like yarik goes like oh he's not landed yet and eventually goes like 1051 01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:26,880 doof and he's like oh that's quite far down and uh yarik is like i don't know what you know there's 1052 01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:31,120 basically no escape here they've he realizes they've been taken to a space hulk so he is 1053 01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:35,760 somewhere he doesn't know where he is but he knows he's inside a space hulk and gazkull doesn't say 1054 01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:41,520 anything he just keeps staring at him and eventually grabs the chains and just cuts them and yarik 1055 01:47:41,520 --> 01:47:47,520 starts to plunge down into the darkness and yarik thinks oh my god i get to die thank god you know 1056 01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:52,800 i mean am i entered my service to the emperor and then he lands in some water and he realizes like 1057 01:47:52,800 --> 01:48:00,000 he landed like a tiny like water pen bit whereas the orc next to him like splattered around and 1058 01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:06,720 he's like oh god i lived how annoying um so he gets out of the same extent as darn day but still 1059 01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:12,640 not happy about it pretty well in a way yeah and he get he climbs out this water thing he's feels 1060 01:48:12,640 --> 01:48:18,800 weak and he's dirty and he's you know it's a bit of a hellscape there's not very much light there's 1061 01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:23,280 like growing mushrooms like glowing mushrooms around the area which kind of give light and he 1062 01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:28,720 starts to see like weird chittiness creatures like start to eat the orc's corpse and he realizes 1063 01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:33,600 that's the only thing that lives down here and so basically he has to relive his childhood that he 1064 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:38,960 did when he was um a boy and the orcs first attacked he has to live in this like secluded 1065 01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:46,400 area like basically he starts to kill the bugs one by one but each time he does it he's like this 1066 01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:51,440 bug is bigger than me stronger than me i have to like surprise it and if i don't surprise it i'm 1067 01:48:51,440 --> 01:48:57,360 literally dead he has to keep killing the bugs because he can like take off their claws and he 1068 01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:02,400 uses that like basically slam it into the wall because he just because the man can't give up 1069 01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:07,440 some reason but he's like my oath to his his faith the emperor is quite strong as a character he's 1070 01:49:07,440 --> 01:49:12,880 very he doesn't spout like religious stuff he's very much like in his own mind he's like saying 1071 01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:18,720 you know for the emperor continuously he's a one-armed like old dude that keeps he's thumping in 1072 01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:26,800 like little sort of hooks and he managed to climb his way to the top after who knows how long and 1073 01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:31,680 gets to the top and then gaskill's there and just kicks him back down again we're just like oh my god 1074 01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:37,920 so eventually has to do it again and he makes it to the top and he kind of gaskill's not there 1075 01:49:38,480 --> 01:49:42,720 but he realized like he thinks he's been watched the entire time and he manages to kill the orcs 1076 01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:47,360 like that are at this like guarding post and he steps through like a next door and he gets 1077 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:51,520 captured immediately because he realizes gaskill's been watching the entire time he's trying to learn 1078 01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:59,440 from him and he gets thrown into a different prison area this time and he is actually thrown 1079 01:49:59,440 --> 01:50:06,640 in prison with humans and these humans are actually the somewhat they're like the survivors of the 1080 01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:13,600 force who were on gold goth that they made into slaves to essentially harvest metal for orcs 1081 01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:19,920 whenever they want it at times like gaskill like kind of sort of like a little creepy guy in the 1082 01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:27,600 shadow goes like i'm watching you i swear i'm here slowly like it's i don't know how like an 1083 01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:33,040 orc that big can be stealthy but for some reason like he sneaks up on them a lot if the raven guard 1084 01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:39,680 can do it in full plate armor then an orc can do it why not it is bizarre but clearly size has 1085 01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:45,680 nothing to do with how sneaky you can be in this setting very much is is pretty bizarre and um 1086 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:51,600 um but he doesn't see gaskill for a while and yarick does what he does best and he starts to 1087 01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:57,280 fight back so he's sort of the prisoners they all kind of know him but in a way this is not 1088 01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:00,960 like the yarick they know because he's like he doesn't have his power he's not being the iconic 1089 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:05,360 thing he usually is but he's like we're still going to fight back so they create this they create a 1090 01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:12,640 complicated plan to sort of break out and this plan is as brutal and as grueling as basically 1091 01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:18,880 all of the story has been so far where essentially people like they have like smash open promethium 1092 01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:23,680 tanks like set themselves and the orcs on fire as a sacrifice something else can get away 1093 01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:30,320 like like cry like they literally like are humans as well like regular old humans trying to kill 1094 01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:35,280 like the orcs like around them so like it takes a few of them to like batter them down and most of 1095 01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:42,960 them get stumped but yarick and a crack team sort of managed to get out and they slowly make their 1096 01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:48,560 way through the space hulk at many times they're realizing they're not here to actually leave they 1097 01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:53,760 just want to cause as much damage to the orcs as possible and one by one like each of the crew 1098 01:51:53,760 --> 01:52:00,000 like he gets to know and they all sort of sacrifice themselves as like distractions so they go into 1099 01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:05,760 like crazy like battles they're not going to win but they do sort of they're doing it to buy time 1100 01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:14,160 to get closer into the inner sanctums and eventually uh it's only yarick and one other guy left and 1101 01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:20,480 this i think his name is it's not maybe benedin or benjin something like that this guy had 1102 01:52:20,480 --> 01:52:24,640 previously been like a rat in a way like he used to be one of the slaves in charge of the other 1103 01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:29,520 slaves and everyone used to hate him because they thought he would basically kill the slaves who were 1104 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:34,800 like slacking and everyone was like oh you're a traitor scum i tell you when yarick realizes 1105 01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:39,120 like he actually has been doing it because he's ending people's suffering so like he would whisper 1106 01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:44,320 like for the emperor as he was doing it so they kind of become close towards the end and as they're 1107 01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:51,040 getting closer and closer to this inner sanctum they get this like weird elevator scene where 1108 01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:56,640 they're like oh we made it and they start to hear the orcs behind them they realize like oh crap they 1109 01:52:56,640 --> 01:53:02,800 knew the entire time and they basically start running up these uh it's like staircase thing 1110 01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:08,000 whilst an elevator next to them is like going up slowly and they happen to like throw grenades 1111 01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:14,160 behind them they have like crude orc weapons they make it to the top and then they're like ambushed 1112 01:53:14,160 --> 01:53:19,520 so they throw all their grenades they blow up the entire area which eventually leads to like 1113 01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:28,080 them almost falling down into the um this gnawing pit like fire and yarick is kind of almost off 1114 01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:35,920 the edge like the guy is like holding him up the only last guy who's alive and um yarick is like 1115 01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:40,880 i'm only a one-armed old dude like i don't think i can hold on another guy says you actually got a 1116 01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:46,720 you it's more important that you live so he like latches in on and lets himself fall instead 1117 01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:50,160 rather than because the beam they're holding on is not going to support both their weights 1118 01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:56,400 so like literally everyone has like died to get yarick here and at this point he's literally like 1119 01:53:56,400 --> 01:54:02,880 a disheveled old literally you never know david letterman right he's like david letterman once he 1120 01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:09,520 stopped hosting the david letterman show and uh he looks like that and he makes his way to the 1121 01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:16,480 control room and he can hear the orc like pounding to try and get in angela says i'm going to do 1122 01:54:16,480 --> 01:54:21,680 as much damage as possible so literally flips on every single control everything and the entire 1123 01:54:21,680 --> 01:54:26,640 space hulk obviously filled with lots of different ships it starts to like shift and all the ships 1124 01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:31,920 like being powered on they start like the whole thing shakes so the loads of like obviously the 1125 01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:38,400 slaves and it died but loads of orcs die in it too and eventually the orcs break in and everything 1126 01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:43,280 starts to explode and yarick starts to fall back into that pit they saw earlier because like an 1127 01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:49,520 explosion puts him back that way and he's thinking oh yes finally my death is coming i can say my 1128 01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:55,280 service has ended and he realizes like a massive orc is running forward and it's like and it's 1129 01:54:55,280 --> 01:55:02,320 gazkull who's run forward and grabbed him and he's like no and he's been saved and then he kind of 1130 01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:10,000 awakens like confused like how am i alive and he realizes his power claw has been reattached 1131 01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:16,000 and his baili has been reattached and his uniform is on again and then and they've pressed it and 1132 01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:20,880 everything they've ironed his shirt and they've made it all nice and all the orcs are like kind of 1133 01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:26,480 you know like fixing his equipment and he sits up and he's like he's like grinning with that 1134 01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:32,720 like kind of old man in like a hateful stare and he leaves the door it's a really funny bit where 1135 01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:39,040 he says like he actually realizes how like effing bizarre this is where all the orcs are lined up 1136 01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:43,440 and he says like he's been to many military parades and he would never not stroll down a 1137 01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:51,040 military parade so he walks down and he sees gazkull there and gazkull is the way he talks 1138 01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:55,280 to me and says like but you know he sort of tells him in his way like you know in high gothic by 1139 01:55:55,280 --> 01:56:02,560 the way gazkull speaks in high gothic which is obviously um the much more in in warhammer there's 1140 01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:07,040 low gothic which is spoken by most of the imperium there's high gothic which is often used in 1141 01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:12,320 administration or yeah i think it's described that like low gothic is english high gothic is more like 1142 01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:18,320 latin if that's correct yeah and gazkull speaks in high gothic to him it's really bizarre guys are 1143 01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:27,040 good so i think uh i've read before like high gothic is the fake latin they use uh but low gothic is 1144 01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:32,880 like just everything like every language ever and it's they're just classified as different 1145 01:56:32,880 --> 01:56:38,880 dialects of low gothic like spanish english french russia anything you can think of that's all 1146 01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:47,760 low gothic just different dialects and uh gazkull basically says to him listen you put up a good 1147 01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:52,880 fight and orcs we know as orcs we love that so we're gonna let you go and then obviously 1148 01:56:54,240 --> 01:57:00,320 yarik like kind of puts it together that he's actually he's been observing i said like he's 1149 01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:04,800 been observing and learning from him he's only he basically knew what yarik's gonna do the entire 1150 01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:11,280 time because he's kind of wanted to learn about how yarik and humans operate so that's like even 1151 01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:18,800 more terrifying to uh yarik but obviously he gets to leave and as much as gazkull's last word he says 1152 01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:25,600 uh prepare for a big old fight and that big old fight does come but a few decades later for some 1153 01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:31,280 reason it's not straight away but a few decades later armageddon would once again be invaded 1154 01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:41,840 by orcs for some reason that plan just can't get a break and um the third wolf armageddon begins 1155 01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:48,720 with they call him the like yarik by this time is an ancient figure he literally looks as old as 1156 01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:53,760 you probably feel he's probably like hundreds of centuries years old and is in a core but even the 1157 01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:58,480 rejuvenants are still not working anymore because like yeah that's how older than most to start he's 1158 01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:04,560 at this point he's easy i think he's older than he's still even chapter masters like come to this 1159 01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:10,240 so the third wall armageddon is different this time because they're prepared and many different 1160 01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:16,560 space marine chapters arrived uh flesh terrors gabriel seth uh black templars hellbrecht i had 1161 01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:23,440 an art piece made for that that was a very cool one i enjoyed that and um essentially to show 1162 01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:29,440 how much people respect and have learned from yarik yarik is in yarik doesn't actually hold 1163 01:58:29,440 --> 01:58:35,200 any official position other than just a normal commissar but he is invited to this meeting and 1164 01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:40,480 in fact he helms it there's even a funny part where one of the other space marines who by the 1165 01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:46,640 way is he specifies he's in orange armor you clearly know he's not one of them anything main 1166 01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:51,040 or like anyone plays because no one ever paints their means in doesn't grim out has even mentioned 1167 01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:55,600 like oh he's from some like backward chapter that no one gives a shit about oh pretty much yeah 1168 01:58:56,400 --> 01:59:02,320 good old uh grimaldus is there too and they essentially listen to yarik because yarik knows 1169 01:59:02,320 --> 01:59:09,200 what he's doing and how he orcs think and like it's described how like even the chapter masters 1170 01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:15,760 defer to his um command on this which obviously is showing how much even space marines are looking 1171 01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:23,600 up to a normal human being and the third war of armageddon is beginning beginning sorry uh yarik 1172 01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:28,240 immediately says we have to abandon hades hive and everyone's like what why would you do that 1173 01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:33,120 it's like because he knows yarik but he knows gazkull he knows how he thinks he knows he's 1174 01:59:33,120 --> 01:59:36,800 going to destroy it as a symbol because that's what he would do because obviously they're both 1175 01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:43,600 in a way symbols and symbols need to be killed to kill the enemy and the war begins with basically 1176 01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:49,440 gazkull and whereas previously there was perhaps one moon that attacked second the second war of 1177 01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:58,960 armageddon now multiple moons of orcs like and meteors land into armageddon the amount of 1178 01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:05,360 guard and imperial regiment and space marines and munitions and firepower is so enormous and 1179 02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:12,720 in its millions that it literally blocks out the sky in terms of when they fire at these um massive 1180 02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:18,560 meteors yeah uh yarik has to fight they fight this war for many years but there's even a short story 1181 02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:24,160 where yarik actually gets attacked in his bane blade front of they went back to golgotha they 1182 02:00:24,160 --> 02:00:30,960 grabbed his destroyed bay blade remade it only to then be now again on armageddon it would be 1183 02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:38,560 attacked in it and almost he would almost be killed but then he's actually saved by the black dragons 1184 02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:43,680 chapter which is very bizarre because they don't really show up much surprisingly they show up in 1185 02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:49,040 a short story with sethano who we obviously spoke about before she's not here for the third war of 1186 02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:57,440 armageddon and this convict is just as big or much larger than the second one obviously there's main 1187 02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:02,720 notable things i don't want to quite cover so we might say every episode such as the defense of 1188 02:01:02,720 --> 02:01:08,880 um what's the one with grimaldus it's hell's reach hell's reach high hell's reach which again 1189 02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:14,480 is his own kind of story there's very there's a lot of legendary fights this war lasts for a 1190 02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:21,280 few years but eventually uh gazcourt as much as we say is repelled i think he just got bored 1191 02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:24,880 because i think the same thing happened again we got bogged down doesn't he get a vision from the 1192 02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:29,440 prophets as the prophet he gets a vision from gorkham walk he's like oh something more important 1193 02:01:29,440 --> 02:01:33,680 is happening i've got to go now i need to die this was a good test for what i'm actually planning to do 1194 02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:43,200 he needed to go and gazcourt would leave armageddon and again yarick's offered retirement and he just 1195 02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:51,440 can't take it some reason he's so old and ancient he just can't give up and him and um hellbroke to 1196 02:01:51,440 --> 02:01:58,320 the mast of chapter master the black templars uh give they give chase to uh gazcourt they actually 1197 02:01:58,320 --> 02:02:04,080 do have a small conflict in space but they get very close to sort of getting to gazcourt but again 1198 02:02:04,080 --> 02:02:09,360 they fail and this is one of the few times where um yarick does feel quite a lot of despair like 1199 02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:14,880 he's just come so close again to not be able to destroy his arched rival because in a way 1200 02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:23,200 gazcourt doesn't want yarick to die but yarick really wants uh gazcourt to die he's he's lived 1201 02:02:23,200 --> 02:02:29,200 a life of long war and he's very much a bitter old man even though he is the hero of the imperium 1202 02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:35,920 and he's done what he needs what has needed to be done in a way he still acts the role as what the 1203 02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:42,080 imperium demands of him but he's obviously very tired but speaking of that uh supposedly unfortunately 1204 02:02:42,080 --> 02:02:47,920 is slightly off screen here uh we're not quite sure if it is i would say we said earlier it was 1205 02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:54,560 angron that killed him but i don't think it's quite confirmed how yarick does die i think we 1206 02:02:54,560 --> 02:03:00,720 all thought it might be angron um due to the angron book prime art book coming out but 1207 02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:08,720 yarick's death has somewhat been said like he's died and they've told the bells on terror for a 1208 02:03:08,720 --> 02:03:14,560 hero of the imperium there's like an image of kind of his corpse slash with the bale eye and the 1209 02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:20,320 commissar hat i really hope there's a book about actually how he dies and i hope they maybe give 1210 02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:26,240 it to gazcourt because i think it's part of gazcourt's story in a way more but it would be cool 1211 02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:34,720 to see that kind of rivalry and obviously you know in a way uh yarick has always fought orcs even 1212 02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:39,520 like for instance he was a literally a boy hiding from them you know with his old serge to then 1213 02:03:39,520 --> 02:03:45,920 actually having to fight them so many times in armageddon and then uh yeah he's yarick's been 1214 02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:51,520 through a lot but he's got tenacity it's hard to explain well just in the books is how much his 1215 02:03:51,520 --> 02:03:58,160 intelligence comes through he's not a he's ruthless in the sense that he's willing to make the hard 1216 02:03:58,160 --> 02:04:03,280 decision he doesn't enjoy doing it but he does it without a second thought because he just knows 1217 02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:09,760 ultimately that will save more people in the end as much as he obviously in a way by our today's 1218 02:04:09,760 --> 02:04:15,040 standards yarick would have killed more people than anyone in our planet combined so um but 1219 02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:20,720 obviously it's not him doing that in a way like other things have forced those decisions upon him 1220 02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:26,000 but yarick has done a lot he's literally many times whenever he fights he literally goes beyond 1221 02:04:26,000 --> 02:04:31,840 the point of exhaustion and he's not the greatest fighter ever you know he's not he's okay but he 1222 02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:39,200 always but he can use a storm bolter somehow yes somehow um he's just that ripped yeah i know 1223 02:04:39,200 --> 02:04:44,080 those theories about people like the orcs imbue him with strength because they their belief empowers 1224 02:04:44,080 --> 02:04:49,120 him and that's how he can just fire a storm bolter that like a space marine could use but it's like 1225 02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:55,680 nah it's fine with my weak arthritic wrists it's no damage it's it's the same reason ranbo can one arm 1226 02:04:55,680 --> 02:05:02,160 and m60 it's cool and it's great stop thinking about it yeah i hope there's a bit of a um 1227 02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:09,600 uh lore dump for uh people there unfortunately there's quite a few things i did miss out uh 1228 02:05:09,600 --> 02:05:14,800 unfortunately with yarick but again that's just that level of detail is again as i've done three 1229 02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:22,320 hours long so it's a ridiculous amount um but that's kind of the current lore of yarick hopefully we 1230 02:05:22,320 --> 02:05:27,360 get his end sometimes too obviously um as we mentioned to people earlier this is obviously 1231 02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:35,120 coming out near halloweenish time so and also october as well orcs orcs orcs um so there's a 1232 02:05:35,120 --> 02:05:41,120 obviously a quite a bit of orc heavy on this one um and i hope uh hope people didn't get too overwhelmed 1233 02:05:41,120 --> 02:05:46,720 the massive amount of like so then it was just getting worse um but that's kind of the overarching 1234 02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:54,240 story of yarick uh what do you guys think so far colin what do you think uh i think he's very cool 1235 02:05:54,240 --> 02:06:00,080 and i do need to read the book season uh but that being said even i know you're a big fan of him 1236 02:06:00,080 --> 02:06:03,840 and you did a great job of telling us about yarick but i don't think he's gonna supplant 1237 02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:12,080 kai if his i think kane's more lovable isn't it kane is a colin character yes yeah yeah i think 1238 02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:18,080 kane's a lot more lovable whereas yarick is i think he he plays into what he's meant to be like he's 1239 02:06:18,080 --> 02:06:23,600 more than a human in a way he's not he's not as relatable in his own mind he is like you see his 1240 02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:32,240 own struggles but then yeah go so i i i would take yarick if i needed someone to lead me through 1241 02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:39,600 a grand field of war i would take kane on a moment to moment basis because he would bs 1242 02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:45,840 us our way i think there's an interesting dynamic between like gaunt kane and uh yarick 1243 02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:52,080 where it's like gaunt is the human version of a commissar yarick is the legend of a commissar and 1244 02:06:52,080 --> 02:06:59,600 then kane is like oh it's your your buddy who happens to be a commissar what how are you a 1245 02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:05,120 commissar what's going on here jester here yeah kane's the idiot in the workplace who should not 1246 02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:09,840 he's like he shouldn't be a commissar yeah here he is and he's he's failing successfully what's 1247 02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:14,560 going on he's quite he failed successfully that's like the kind of thing isn't it 1248 02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:22,720 uh yeah he's quite a big i mean yarick does do is pretty much there's a little bit like chaos stuff 1249 02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:29,280 into woven but it's very orc heavy um elai what do you think of the uh old bali himself i didn't 1250 02:07:29,280 --> 02:07:34,640 know a lot of that lore so that's cool i only knew his childhood and armageddon i didn't know all 1251 02:07:34,640 --> 02:07:41,200 that stuff in between so i would recommend that the i don't i really don't do it justice but his 1252 02:07:41,200 --> 02:07:48,320 first two books which are the ones on mistral and the second war of armageddon damn the scenery and 1253 02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:54,880 the way they describe like particularly the way they describe the orcs in that book is you never 1254 02:07:54,880 --> 02:07:59,760 felt so small it was like a lot of it if you're a space marine if it's like a space marine story 1255 02:07:59,760 --> 02:08:04,400 you don't really feel overwhelmed it's kind of like a it's always a you know ragtag group coming 1256 02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:10,800 through whereas this is like oh we're actually throwing people at a hole trying to fill it we 1257 02:08:10,800 --> 02:08:15,040 are throwing bits of people still clutching grenades just so they were like go away go 1258 02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:22,400 the death of the hive cities in the book is so horrific it's like even what i didn't describe 1259 02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:28,560 like there's a bit where most of the high cities most people didn't get out of the high cities so 1260 02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:33,520 a lot of the orc forces are trapped in there just going door to door like basically taking the 1261 02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:37,920 people doesn't do a good job of i know a lot of people can get frustrated with how the law either 1262 02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:43,280 says orcs are goofy goofballs or they are the most horrifying thing in the setting and it's like both 1263 02:08:43,280 --> 02:08:48,400 it does both well because obviously there's that orc that waves and then there's like he's like hi 1264 02:08:48,400 --> 02:08:53,040 guys like he's like nervous and he's got lumped the gormless we'll call them yeah and then there's 1265 02:08:53,040 --> 02:08:58,640 also like oh this is what it means to actually fight orcs you know it's just a perspective 1266 02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:02,880 you just have to look at it through the right's perspective if you look through your faction's 1267 02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:07,520 perspective they're always the good guys that's like that's all you have to remember and from 1268 02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:11,200 everyone else's perspective though they're not the good guys in there unless you're the drukhari 1269 02:09:11,200 --> 02:09:16,640 we're definitely not the good guys but we're having fun we don't care you just got it depends on if 1270 02:09:16,640 --> 02:09:21,600 you want to get your warhammer lore from you know books and stuff or if you just look at memes and 1271 02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:27,280 then you'll there's a clear yeah you can tell eric memes well i was like there's good memes and 1272 02:09:27,280 --> 02:09:32,880 there's good lore for the character so he's a nice balance uh what did you uh think andy by the way 1273 02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:38,160 the only thing i'll mention is i'm hoping that he's not dead and actually it's all the ruse 1274 02:09:38,160 --> 02:09:44,880 and that he's trying to pretend that he's dead so that gazgul goes a bit mental and it's all a ploy 1275 02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:49,680 so that he can catch him off guard and go i'm not dead yet you think so actually i'll see when they'll 1276 02:09:49,680 --> 02:09:57,120 get me you idiot i have to pay my just to make you mad it's very much implied by the way i didn't 1277 02:09:57,680 --> 02:10:03,360 yes there's a few nods in the chains of golgotha bush which is the one where he's um the prison on 1278 02:10:03,360 --> 02:10:08,400 the space hole which is basically he essentially rambo in that very much implied in that although 1279 02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:14,560 i would say okay sorry it was it might just be a saint too he might get resurrected and you know do 1280 02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:22,320 all the sainty stuff but he deserves and i think yarick's as a character i've read i read literally 1281 02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:28,880 everything he's been in i think he's kind of as much as people like oh i'm sad he's dead like 1282 02:10:29,600 --> 02:10:34,560 some of my characters they need to have their arc finished rather than like you know that it's 1283 02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:38,400 probably like you know the car and the betrayal whereas like he's had his full full he dies all 1284 02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:44,160 the time full to chaos and then he's just kind of this amorphic angry thing now sometimes a 1285 02:10:44,160 --> 02:10:49,920 character i think is yarick dying would be okay because first of all there's a lot to you could 1286 02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:56,000 replace him with or in a way his story hasn't it could have a nice ending with dying at gazkul 1287 02:10:56,000 --> 02:11:01,120 the arc is complete he has to be killed by gazkul or i'm not going to be happy a lot of time um 1288 02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:06,560 dw are not brave enough to kill a character yeah so i feel like it would be a good opportunity like 1289 02:11:06,560 --> 02:11:13,440 to yeah you know yarick did his cool stuff he did it he's he's one he's then i just want gazkul to 1290 02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:20,160 go to his funeral and go oh i'm so sad only for only for yarick's hand to lunge out of the coffin 1291 02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:24,800 grab gazkul by the neck pull him in and like you're coming with me and then he just reveals 1292 02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:30,480 melter charge or something like that would be cool and then gazkul maybe survives but he's really 1293 02:11:30,480 --> 02:11:36,080 badly wounded but it's like that was a good way to go good well regnar beheaded him right 1294 02:11:36,080 --> 02:11:41,840 yeah he cut his head off and then he was like that's a good issue new body bigger body lol which is 1295 02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:47,120 weird isn't it they let him have like a bigger supposedly he's an enormous enormous orc but there 1296 02:11:47,120 --> 02:11:50,960 there was a bigger orc where he could have his head yeah there was like one that was just like 1297 02:11:50,960 --> 02:11:56,080 we've been feeding him nothing but protein shakes for 20 years non-stop and he's gigantic now 1298 02:11:56,800 --> 02:12:03,200 that was the spare from that exact situation um well thank you guys so much for listening 1299 02:12:03,200 --> 02:12:08,480 obviously there's a bit of a big lore dump on yarick but he definitely deserves uh some love 1300 02:12:08,480 --> 02:12:14,400 uh we hope you guys obviously like the orc stuff too um i think this is this definitely is one of 1301 02:12:14,400 --> 02:12:19,680 the in the books the better betrayal of orcs or they're quite terrifying i think there is a 1302 02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:25,760 is it brutal cunning is a good book on orcs maybe we should uh i thought like rin's world how they 1303 02:12:25,760 --> 02:12:31,760 was like these are not goofy goofballs they are really nasty like when they're holding the guy 1304 02:12:31,760 --> 02:12:36,480 on the on the fire and he's burning him from the toes up yeah that's hilarious you'd work like 1305 02:12:36,480 --> 02:12:43,840 yes yeah but it's in a perverse way we're like oh no yeah well i hope uh people enjoyed that 1306 02:12:45,200 --> 02:12:51,920 absolute lashing and rendit rendition and uh again like any topics you want us to cover 1307 02:12:51,920 --> 02:12:56,000 please do comment below because they're very much we've obviously listened to what you say 1308 02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:01,920 i want to cover things you want to hear just don't talk about elder hey hey no we'll get a 1309 02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:07,120 phoenix lord episode someday we haven't we haven't had an elder or phoenix lord one yeah so we should 1310 02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:13,840 probably be coming it's coming yeah and uh without being said thank you guys and we'll catch you on 1311 02:13:13,840 --> 02:13:32,720 the next one peace love you
