Warhammer Community dropped a tight little Armageddon-focused trio here. Moreover, each article feeds the same wider campaign from a different angle.
One sells the scale of Perturabo’s scheme. Another loads the shelves with green-skinned reading material. Meanwhile, the last finally explains how Yarrick survived long enough to matter again.
Perturabo’s Grand Plan Revealed
This is the shortest article, though it carries a lot of weight. Warhammer Community frames the Iron Warriors assault on the Cadian Gate as the opening move in Perturabo’s Infinite Citadel. Instead of one fortress world, he wants a creeping wall of sieges stretching system by system toward Terra. That feels perfectly Iron Warriors. It is stubborn, industrial, and grimly patient.
The article also teases what looks like the first proper published depiction of post-ascension Perturabo, which is a fun lore hook by itself. Most importantly, the piece explains the real payoff. These massacres are meant to thin the barrier between realspace and the warp, so Perturabo can eventually walk on Imperial soil himself.
Revealed – New Ork Fiction and Lore from Black Library
The Ork fiction article gets more room, and honestly, it earns it. First, Da Freebooterz Code follows Skeeg Horntoof, an ambitious kaptin chasing glory, loot, and a showdown with rogue trader Antoinette von Hume.
Then Legends of the Waaagh! bundles major Ork-heavy stories like Helsreach, Caves of Ice, and I Am Slaughter, so it works as a broad sampler.
Meanwhile, World Ablaze digs into Armageddon with 11 brand-new short stories, mixing Black Templars, Guard troopers, Wazdakka, and even a Space Wolves and Salamanders pairing.
Finally, Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh! returns in an illustrated edition, while Yarrick: The Omnibus comes back in paperback. So, this article is basically a full Waaagh! bookshelf.
Lore: Where Has Commissar Yarrick Been Lately?
This last piece is the most immediately dramatic. It finally explains that Yarrick was not dead at all after Icaria. Instead, he chased Ghazghkull across the stars, fought him amid the planet’s collapse, and lost badly in a savage final duel. Ghazghkull crushed him, broke him, and still chose not to finish the job. Then a Space Wolves priest secretly carried Yarrick away, while the wider Imperium assumed he had died.
The article also makes clear that survival came at a cost. Yarrick wakes aboard a Space Wolves strike cruiser with a rebuilt skull, failing limbs, and a body held together by augmetics. Even so, he heads back to Armageddon, because that is exactly what Yarrick does.
