Little Huron of the Red Corsairs

May 2026·p. 41

THE SHORT VERSION

Scott depicts a Knight stolen from House Terryn and presented to Huron Blackheart, with pilot Vultir Luzken now seeking glory among the Red Corsairs. Sponge work and drybrushing leave patches of the old blue-and-bone livery visible beneath new red armour. Ancient brass, yellow plasma glow and green lenses complete a project deliberately restricted to those texturing techniques; a future black hand emblem is discussed as a planned addition.

Armageddon: A Planet at War

A conversational guide introduces Armageddon as an industrial hive world whose huge population, manufacturing capacity and strategic position make its survival important to the Imperium. It separates the planet’s actual wars from the versions preserved in Imperial records, where Angron’s invasion was suppressed, and follows the conflict through Ghazghkull’s assaults and the long rivalry between the Ork warlord and Commissar Yarrick.

The Warriors of Armageddon

Armageddon’s Steel Legion favour mechanised infantry, with Chimeras and protective clothing suited to a poisoned industrial world. Invasion has reversed the normal outward flow of regiments, as the planet increasingly consumes both its own recruits and soldiers sent from elsewhere. The illustrated survey distinguishes the indigenous legion and jungle-fighting Ork Hunters from supporting Krieg, Cadian, Mordian, Elysian, Savlar and Catachan formations.

Best Enemies

Yarrick and Ghazghkull are presented as enemies whose mutual hatred has become inseparable from a grudging respect. The Commissar frustrated the Ork assault on Hades and pursued his opponent beyond Armageddon, while Ghazghkull repeatedly sought his death yet came to value Ol’ Bale Eye as his best enemy. The sidebar traces that recurring pursuit rather than treating either invasion as a self-contained encounter.
