A possible rework of Commissar Yarrick has appeared as another of the GW Advent Engine rumors for everything Warhammer is here.
Games Workshop has published the Advent Engine Calendar again for 2023 after a year’s break.
Once again, they will reveal a new rumor engine every day for 24 days in December, hopefully with a giant Christmas Day preview at the end.
GW Advent Engine Day 14
Warhammer Community has unveiled another Advent Rumor Engine; this time, it looks like it could be one for the Imperium! GW said he’s not gone forever despite not being in the most recent codex, so let’s hope this is a picture of his triumphant return! Of course, this could also be for a Belial rework, but is that as exciting as Yarrick?
Check out the details of this new bit that looks to be on the way for Warhammer.
Yarrick is Returning (hopefully): New GW Advent Engine
While a boltgun could clearly be for a ton of factions for the Imperium, there are a few huge clues to Yarrick.
While his bolter has a wreath around it, basically everything else about this looks very similar. Plus, as we said, GW more or less promised Yarrick is coming back at some point, and with the other rumors we’ve already seen for Guard in this Calendar, it’s possible. It also goes with the emblem on his breastplate.
When you get up close and personal with the bolter, the double barrel, the double clip, and the strap all look so similar! Obviously, it’s getting a facelift, but if you ask us, this is Yarrick’s bolter! We might be a little blindsided by the possibility, but the fun art of these is hoping for the minis you want.
Could it be that he isn’t dead at all? The Imperium has a proud history of factual creativity, and after the supposed-but-not-actual death of Marneus Calgar on Vigilus boosted morale, it’s entirely possible they’re trying it on again. Another heroic martyrdom to put the fire of vengeance into the hearts of mankind – if only a powerful organisation with hilariously flexible morals could arrange such a thing…
Or perhaps the galaxy’s most enthusiastic history buff has given Yarrick new purpose… as a museum exhibit. He’d be the perfect capstone to any display of classic Steel Legion models, after all. One thing’s for sure – with the Old Man of Armageddon absent from the new Codex: Astra Militarum, the truth will elude us for now.Â
Could Be a Belial Rework
Well, we know Deathwing will be getting new models (along with Asmodai), so it would also make sense for Belail to get a rework. He has a very similar Bolter, but the gun in the Advent Engine doesn’t have the broken sword motif, which is a pretty big deal. With a reworked model, though, it’s not impossible for GW to change things up a bit…
