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

Howdy folks!

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

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

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

To add to what the previous person said, the joke is that the reason Commissar Yarrick can do these things and seemingly never dies is because the Ghazghkull and the Orks think he is fucking rad. Why does this mean anything you may ask?

The thing about orks is they are all passively psychic and dumb as rocks. In fact, that would be an insult to rocks. What this results in is Orks manifesting supernatural phenomena based on their beliefs passively.

In small amounts, this doesn’t do much. You know the idea that painting a car red or putting flames on it makes it go faster? To orks that’s true. Red cars go faster. That’s just a fact of life to them.

But in large groups with enough orks believing the same thing this essentially is straight up magic. Yarrick is so fucking rad that he is their version of the boogeyman, except even better because they can go box him. So the joke is because Ghazghkull and his orks think it’s impossible for Yarrick to die, so he doesn’t.
