Old man throwing himself aginst the Orks grenades in hand, workers using their diggers, loaders and cranes as improvised weapons of war. No wonder the Orks love humans, we are as batshit as they are when push comes to shove.
Or when it really comes down to ti we can be even more batshit insane, it's like cornering a cat or dog you do it and there will be consequences
If you have to define humanity with one word, it would be defiance.

@@julonkrutor4649 I would say Spirituous, the way to beat humanity is to break their spirit, if that is ripped out of humanity, we fall, but if that remains... May God have mercy on whoever is against us, for we shall not.
The early stages of the invasion reminds of the old military saying, “do want to talk to who is in charge? or the one who knows what is going on?”
Flamethrowerdude V c
Flamethrowerdude that is so accurate so many times throughout history it’s not even funny
Pronouns are critical pieces of vocabulary, I suggest *you* use them.
That’s a fine distinction
@@fumarc4501 Problem is, the one in charge can reprimand you for not listening...
Funny thing: Yarrick is very old by now. Even by the standart of imperial nobility he's old. But he's still as active and strong as ever. Why is that? Well, probably because pretty much every ork in the whole galaxy is completly and utterly convinced that Yarrick can not be killed except maybe by Ghazgul himself. And when enough orks believe something then their WAAAAAGH! energy makes it true.
Holy shit that’s cool and makes sense
That's stupid and boring

Von Strab lost a titan legion?
How he manged to avoid a inqustorial power chainfoot up his ass is beyond me.
The filthy ass must have bargained with Chaos already, I guess. There is no fuckin' way he hauls ass from Armageddon that easily.
He should be more worried about be vivisected put back together than vivisected by the admech
Pierre Lindgren screw the inquisition I'm surprised the Mecanicus didn't come for his ass
Pretty sure he went into hiding and/or disgraced exile after the war. Probably a sort of “either retire in disgrace without any pension at all, or we make you into a fucking Arcoflagellant” kinda deal.
He came back for the Third War, though. Sided with Mag Thraka, if you can believe it, to take over the planet with him. The Last Chancers killed him during a (naturally) suicide mission.
Almost as bad as losing 100 baneblades.
You wanna hear something funny? If Orks and Imperials ever had to team up to fight Chaos... the Orks would probably only take orders from Commissar Yorrick because he's (clears throat), "The da biggezt and badezt and Orkizt of dem Hummiez."
adam reese That would happen right after they are done raping chaos. and that alone would take a long time.
Not really funny at all lol
@Just Jeff Rape in ork language is the same as "bash the damn thing with a choppa until it stops twitching, then bash it some more and maybe shoot a couple of mags into it. Because funny"

Matt Affenit correction: it makes Stalingrad look like the battle of France
My Sons, won many honours on Armageddon. And from that furnace, Astartes and mortal alike, were forged ever stronger.
Vulkan Of Nocturne your sons killed few black Templars by refusing to help and instead helping stupid citizens
They are Astartes, they are supposed to be The Emperors ultimate guardians for humanity. Those Black Templars died performing that mission, as did many Salamnders. We serve Mankind, that is our function.
Remember that the salamanders having good public relations will allow them to have better cooperation with the imperial guard.
VULKAN LIVES!

9:16 Which self-respecting ork would avoid a minefield? That's what snots, grots and squigs are for! Afterall, let's remember, it was a couple million ORKS that landed. That means there was a couple billion snots, grots and squigs.
"And two counts of improper dress"
This attention to detail sure is admirable
Orks would find pure hilarity from making weaker greenskins run through minefields.
@@Stuffandstuff974 There is a problem though, What if the mines are set to be initiated by Ork, but not by a smaller greenskin?
So does this mean Yarrick's life is supported by the Ork's psychic power? He is deadly because the orks believed he is deadly?
Grombrindal yea I also thought that's what was going on
how can this commented be posted 6 hours ago?
Patreon exclusive :P
Pretty much. That and Gork n' Mork probably consider Yarrick a 'Ooman grod' (literally translated from 2nd edition Orkish: "Human Best Friend/Favorite Enemy") to all Orks, *especially Ghazghkull*. So not only is the old Commissar blessed by the protection of the Emperor, he's also supported by (probably) two of the oldest, strongest gods inside the Warp *AND* the reality-fuckery that is the WAAAAAAAGH! field.
Yarrick also likes to play up the greenskin's legends about him for full effect. Case in point: Orks start whispering that Ol' One Eye Yarrick can kill with a glance. Yarrick hears about this rumor and has his bionic eye turned into a bionic eye that can fire A FUCKING LASER BEAM.
Seriously though, as of the current lore Yarrick and Ghazzy probably have the best 'frenemy rivalry/grudge match' going in the galaxy. The primarchs' sibling bitchfest has *nothing* on what those two have done to each other.
I'll go into more detail a little later after I'm done watching the video.
my theory is that yarrick and ghazkull are actually avatars of mork and gork
How is there not more love for the mad bastards that welded themselves into cranes and went to fight Gargants
The Emperor Protects!
Arch Warhammer I wonder if that's the slogan on his condoms
so... what about that demonic invasion eh? i heard that Armageddon got invaded by Demons
Arch Warhammer WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Arch Warhammer just fuck yeah
brilliant work on this vid you have outdone yourself this time
Orks witnessing Yarrick's victory: NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE!!!
Ghazkul hearing about Yarrick's victory: YESYESYESYESYESYES!!!
Grotznik: oh no
Arch pyronist: oh no!
Other named ork: NO NO NO
Ghazgkull: YEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSS
Yarrick: oh fuck me
1 hour and 10 minutes of pure arch. Slaanesh has nothing compared to this pure ecstasy
Jason na the nuts i nutted upon seeing this have effectively allowed me to surpass slaanesh in terms of pleasure
Jason na i could listen to him reading the user manual to a washing machine
The other 16 seconds, however; those were heretical seconds. We don't talk about those.
Heresy as much? ^^
JackFrostDoll it's not technically heresy because arch is a very loyal servant to the imperium.
When the Blood Angels entered the fray my heart sung with the glory of the God-Emperor.
When you were talking about the Space Marines coming down I expected the old Red Alert sound byte "Reinforcements have arrived"
and Hell March?
Superschokokeks Fuck yes
+Superschokokeks "We have come, and, stomp!"

Commissar Yarrick: Everything a Space Marine wants to be.
Me, a true space marine: *Laughs in Legion of the Damned*
*looks at Ollanius Pius* and this man is everything the custodians wish they could be
Not gonna lie, the bit about Helsreach actually made me get a little choked up. Dunno why stories of utter hopelessness against an invading force do that to me.
Excellent video.
Splint Na same bro
AH FUCK I REMEMBER, FUCKING ORKS EVERYWHERE PTSD INTENSIFIES
It's the beauty of said hopelessness causing the Greatest Resolve in the Civillian population.
I’m reminded of a certain meme showing an imperial guardsman’s face and the caption “Stalingrad? We call that ‘Tuesday’.”
check out the actual helsreach series on youtube its even better
Arch quit mentioning the Inquisition and the Not First War, its the worst kept secret in the galaxy, give a space wolf enough to drink and he will go over the entire lore of that conflict.
the problem Auriorium, with getting a space wolf enough to drink, is well... getting a space wolf enough to drink.
Cameron Billquist you doubt my amount of drink on hand?
i highly doubt you have control over a solar system which makes only alcohol. if you do, be my guest, get the space wolf drunk
I call that, Challenge Accepted XD

Hey Arch, I'm one of the map makers from the grand campaign custom map, and would like to know if you still intend to do historical custom battles for warhammer fantasy (like you said long ago) and if I can help you in this sense with backgrounds/ maps to make this possible. You seem to distance yourself from fantasy a bit recently, curious if you intend to go back to it.
oh i am going to do more, but atm the Armageddon series is getting all my attention until it is compleate. Sadly tough the great war against chaos is a bust, a PC crash ate all of my files with the maps and markers and editing etc and i just dont feel like doing it all over again... do feel free to email me some examples of what you could possibly do tough, i am always looking for art and artists!
steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198037698096/myworkshopfiles/?appid=364360 if you want to look trough my workshop.
Hey Arch, what books do you use as a reference for the armageddon videos?
Shitstorm electric boogaloo mk2. Ghazskulls party palace
you say funny things that make me giggle. (im also high as tits right now)
Boogaloo
I love the scale of WH40k battles in the lore. that Titan exploding in the middle of the attacking Ork horde was bigger than the Tsar Bomba. aka the biggest nuke us plebian humans have ever tested.
I shed a tear at 49:44
the chaos invasion of armageddon never happened
it's the armenian genocide of the 40k universe according to the young tau
OF COURSE !!!!!!!
"It's bullshit we're trying to have a reasonable discussion about the greater good"
Damn that was good. I can't get the image of Al Jazeera using the bacon like smell of the warp in order to brainwash Chunk and Anna into preaching propaganda.

You forgot to mention [REDACTED]. It was an important part of [REDACTED]. Ahh well, at least you mentioned [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], and that -annoying- PERFECTLY REASONABLE AND NOBLE Inquisition didn't censor my post at all.
This is why I love 40k: it's a universe where the apocalypse is just Tuesday
Remind me when I was reading the macharius crusade
Orks know its Yarrick by the power claw, and the almost deafening clanging sound when he walks...
The port siege description made me badly want a warhammer FPS horde/co-op assault game based in a hive city. Basically a good version of space hulk deathwing (warframe/the-division with a less ninja movement or infinite stat scaling) on a much grander scale of map with a persistent player inventory that can be lost through death.
Damn, the state of console crippled PC gaming got has me sad now.
You mean ARMA/Vermintide just in 40K?
I mean a 40K vermintide/L4D2 where each map is semi-randomly picked from a suite of eventually hundreds (area gameplay/cohesion more important than incidental details) that form a mostly cohesive area/city to fight through in a chain of 2-5 maps that make up a mission (turn on the defensive turrets, fight through to the safe-zone and break an ork siege, gather supplies and return to base with the laden vehicle).
Players craft and gather resources Warframe/firefall (during the thumper era) style to craft modular "throwaway" weapons you loose if you fail a mission (unless you can get to a safe/beacon and store some of your gear before you die). let players find a few salvageable components and weapons/mods in-mission.
If you loose or win incidental details around that area will dynamically update to a more or less intact/protected state (80% cosmetic but with some routes, doors, walkways, defences, buildings and resources available depending on win/loss ratios each week).
The entire thing has been done before and other games already do this with different themes in mind
e.g.1(warframe , space ninjas rampaging through procedural tile-set locations instead of guard companies facing down numerous enemies over a 2-5 level mission-chain).
e.g.2 (destiny/borderlands, sci-fi space-tards fighting through a mix of instances and overland areas to kill a boss to get tokens and/or RNG loot drops in order to take on more bullet-sponge enemies)
e.g.3 (vermintide/L4D/space hulk:deathwing, horde mode gameplay through a small number of heavily detailed levels, replay value comes from loot/PvP/suicidal-disappointment respectively)
e.g.4 (global agenda/firefall, broken messes of a game that were about harvesting resources, fighting off other players/AI-swarms to control tracts of lands rich in resources, to build more gear. End results were generally weak due to stat based PvP items and drastic changes in gameplay direction)
It's all doable with current tech but no one has fitted the pieces together in this way yet, let alone with a well produced 40k theme.
Resident evil 5 and revelations (some fan gameplay-reactions aside) did something similar to this idea in a single-player setting.
As with warframe, devs could start small with a procedural-tileset system 1-2 factions and a basic set of player gear then add in more over-time. Over time refine the more procedural maps into a skirmish mode while building up linked-3D grid-based campaign city/station/rok maps. Start with a 3 x 3 grid of maps, maybe add in a couple of tower/sewer/air/sea port areas, boost the grid/map piece by piece (e.g. start with a city wall-tower section plus nearby suburb buildings, add in the wall-gate plus the access bridge, add in more city plus some sewer access, add in farmland, add a transport hub to the area, etc), each new level allow 1-2 entrances from each direction to link into the another map (even if it's a trainline/out-flow pipe/bombed out wall).
Save time by wholesale copying existing/realistic architecture (shopping centres, car parks, offices, castles, ports, train stations) layouts into the chosen theme then create gameplay paths through them by blocking off/destroying certain entrances and floors to allow one map to have 5-6 varied play-routes.
That said I think I need to go cry in a corner while curled up for a while. Laters.
Yes there was absolutely no Chaos Demon invasion led by my Brother at all.
Horus Lupercal you still dead egghead
Dawn Bringer me reappearing would still make more sense then "Gathering storm".
Horus Lupercal for the warmaster
Give this man a cooky !
Greetings warmaster
Usually the Death Korps of Krieg ignore or outright shoot their own commissars for not being hardened suicidal badasses like themselves but if yarrick was their commissar I doubt they would ever question his authority/orders and would actually respect him.
The pure badassery of Commisar Yarick shed a tear from my eye... Beautiful.
I wish to obtain knowledge as to the cause of exterminatis class weaponry being stored on Armageddon. This is for documentation and subsequent classification by Commissar Debit Fett of the Trappist system.
Commissar Debit Fett simple just use the forbidden divide by zero equation in all of the hives main power facilities.
I like the theory that Yarrick is literally being kept alive by the fear of the combined ork hordes.
So its basically the battle of Stalingrad except force fed protein powder and pumped up on steroids.
The Armageddon meat grinder.

The art is absolutely amazing! As a Patron I must say, I have spent my money well! I absolutely love the art for the Hive of Asheron! Those three guys(Imperial Guard, Gangmember and Civilian) looked super awesome together!
Also, hearing the lore of the video, the defense of Hive Hellsreach reminds me a lot of the Battle at Shipka Pass. Very touching to me on a personal level.
if its to arch you spent that money then you sent it the wrong way because that art you refer to all comes from the video game wh40k armagg...eddon

Arch, this is, my friend, the very best of the lore videos You made this far, in my humble opinion. Not only You managed to deliver tons of specifics in a form You most of the time masterfully do, You added this most required drama and pathos of Acheron siege. Man... You nailed it.
There better be a second video.
If you pull a Night Haunter again, there will be blood.
(Possibly skulls, but no promises.)
50:00 man that stuff still gives me chills, really well done Arch
I can't help but admire the INCREDIBLE subtlety and creativity of Games Workshop when it comes to naming things. I can't wait for the part where commander Faust and his forces from hive city Helheim set out to stop the orks from crossing the Purgatory river and onto the Baphomet peninsula by confronting them at a bridge locally known as Satan's left testicle.
Yarrick staring down the warboss. "You should have gone for the head"
I've been a subscriber since your first lore videos when total war warhammer was first announced, and i have to say, in my opinion this is your best lore video yet. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you.
Loving this you have set a new standard #rememberhades
Listening to this... I kind of want a modded Mechwarrior 3 with Arch doing the singleplayer mission briefings.
The crane operators welding themselves into their machines to fight ork gargants in hand to hand always gets me for some reason. i read that in a white dwarf back when the armegeddon event was going on. got me back then too. something about the fanatical determination to make the enemy pay despite the certainty of their own deaths. there was another description in white dwarf that discussed crazy hive gangers full of drums sent into ventilation ducts to fight ork commandos in hand to hand that was also pretty awesome.
pumped full of STIMS*
I can only imagine how many times 'FOR THE EMPEROR' said during the siege of Helsreach
"The hive gangers brought their own weapons" -lol
Arch's bed time stories are the best. Thanks for an awesome tale :)
49:40 I love the way you tell these stories
At my funeral I want an english narrator telling all my life's misfortunes with a solemn straight voice for 1 hours non stop.
The What now? Midgets led by an inquisitor? *pulls out bolt pistol* that did not happen...period.
they are coming back!
49:40 that line legit sent shivers down my spine, I love warhammer.
Arch, I am not one to be easily impressed, yet right now I am.
The moment when you turned down the light, and mentioned that the God Emperor protects, it was electrifying, it was elating, a stroke of genius.
The maps, the detail, ahhh, it was beautiful!
Keep up the awesome work mate. :D
Listenin to your lore analysis helps me find new ways to poke into my own SF that's being slowly tortured into being :-)
Your telling me we lost 5 not 1 but 5 TITANS! By the emperor how could such a atrocitie happen.
How is that so bad? Just construct more on one of the trillion worlds the imperium rules
Billions of guard have been sacrificed for one titan. To lose five in single engagement...
@@ThePumpkinRot oh... Yeah that's bad
I understand now. Yarrick is the descendant to Goblin Slayer!
"but even in darkest of days...…. the emperor protects!" I literally smiled when I heard that
I have REALLY enjoyed this video. Thanks Arch. You put a lot of emphasis at the right time giving the right amount of feeling to it. Well done.
We're Whalers on moon!
*We carry our harpoons!*
Replace we're with "us orkzies" and "moon" with anywhere. And im sure some Ork has a harpoon so its all good from their
Well there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales and sing our whaling tune
wasn't there a Chaos invasion before the ork attack?
inquisition will be visiting your home in the next 5 min
Arch kinda implies that there was, since he brought up the Inquisition.
So what was your name and address again, citizen?

No, silly citizen, what are you talking about? Go on with your day, and learn about the glorious defence of Armageddon.

RobTheGeek but I am pretty sure I saw a few Chaos marines when I was there once
"Do not give into despair easily."
-Commissar Yarrick is amused.
Good lord this is wonderful. The battle maps and attention to lore detail then the added flare you put on your videos is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for sharing this.
Seriously why is everyone hating on the spacewolves?! They did very well when they SINGLE........HANDEDLY.......... defeated that chaos invasion Never has the imperium had a finer victory apart from when an angry marine beat a special snowflake marine to death by picking up a fellow angry marine wearing terminator armor and proceeded too beat the ever loving snot out of it while the terminator swore at the special snowflake for being a pansy while his brother swung him around like a wet towel
What the the hell are you talking ? That sounds awesome !!!
"Drive me closer! I want to bitch- slap them with my claw!"
I love your storytelling
Terrific job, Arch. You have no idea how greatful I am for your lore videos. I fell in love with the style of 40k years ago, but without you I would have never been able to learn about the universe. Thank you, you're doing the God Emperors work my friend.
I loved this video. Telling lore in this way is very enganging and entertaining. Keep it up please.
This looks like a one hour special document about the overlord's Incompetents. Written by a VERY BIG "I".
49:34
My favourite bit.
Arch, your story telling is the sole reason I got into the lore of both fantasy and 40k Warhammer. Thank you so much for many hours of enjoyment.
I remember this war well.
Well where are you?! Ghazgkull has 5 million ships and counting, go out and kill him already
The three ork gods: Gork, Mork, and Commissar Yarrik
and the Beast
I must say, I enjoy the fact that you decided to focus on the official accounting of the War for Armageddon. The citizenry and Inquisition thank you for excluding things that... DID NOT HAPPEN.
It was so cool seeing Necromunda models in the Codex Armageddon. In fact, listening/watching interviews with some of the GW icons. They could never make stuff fast enough, specially plastics [18 month lead time!].
Would have been cool to get some Necromundan Spiders with this book. They'd have to be all metal or some parts for.... the Catachans? lol
