What? Me? Yarrick? You must be barmy! No self-respecting orc, like me, would touch Yarrick with a ten foot fine detail brush. You must be mistaken! Why the very thought of it! It sends shivers down my spine and makes my orc blood run cold. Me Yarrick, never!
Oh that Yarrick… Yeah, well, you know I got caught up in the hype. Lost in the euphoria of expectation. And on top of that, it looked like a very nice model. What is not to like, clean lines, nice detail and well posed. Even an old orc like me looks forward to clean lines sometimes.
I have keenly followed the story of Ghazghkull and Yarrick since it began all those years ago. It has been a hell-of-a ride but, despite how they might dress it up, this puny human always manages to thwart Ghazghkull. It is a great piece of Warhammer magic. It has inspired me again and again to brush the dust off my 40k Orks and dream of gorgeous battles on dusty worlds.
This time, though, this time it is going to happen! Look how serious I am; I have built Yarrick! It is going to happen. After all these years Armageddon is coming. You see if it don’t!
And in the end, you know, if all this comes to nought! If this is nothing more than an old orc’s pipe dream, it matters not. It is the journey that counts. It is the hobby that counts; the planning, the buying, the building, the painting. I have had all this joy already.
Also I have lined up a “little” treat for myself, when I have finished painting the Armageddon box just to redress the balance.
