The war for the galaxy's most brutal battlefield continues in a grim new trailer from Warhammer 40K that ends with the return of an old-school hero (Commisar Yarrick), but I'll be damned if I know what's going on. Is it the reveal of the next edition? A box set? A new campaign book? I'm genuinely not sure.
This cinematic trailer - which you can see below - is bleak, even by Warhammer standards. It takes place on the utterly miserable world of Armageddon as it's torn to shreds by an Ork invasion, and it's one of the grimmest warzones of an already grimdark future. Think the trenches of WW1 crossed with apocalyptic alien hordes and you're close. While things start with an embattled leader begging for his troops to save themselves (someone get this poor man into therapy), he's quickly… er, "relieved" of duty by a familiar face from Warhammer 40K – Commisar Sebastian Yarrick, The Hero of Hades. This grizzled old-timer basically tells everyone they're slacking off and proceeds to direct the front from a holotable that makes it look as though he's playing one of the best board games. We then see his new model in all its pincer-handed glory. But what is this all teasing?
