On today’s cast we continue our coverage of the second war of Armageddon with the Orks arrival on the planet and Von Strab’s immediate decision to make all the worst decisions possible about said arrival. From, just sending troops to their doom, to deciding that the orks would run away in fear from his greatness, and of course to his attempts at using thousand or so year old rockets. But, we then jump into the true hero of the imperium the great Commissar Yarrick, a man so brave and so stoic, only he decides when he passes out from pain!
