Changes

Frustrated about defiance of Hive Hades, Ghazghkull sent one of his strongest [[Warboss]]es, [[Ugulhard]], to deal with Yarrick's resistance. As the monstrous Ork and his followers overran the hive's outer defense, the Commissar stepped forward to challenge the warboss.{{Fn|6}} He was grievously wounded in this duel, as Ugulhard severed Yarrick's right arm with a swipe from his [[Power Klaw]]. Such a wound would have killed a lesser man, but Yarrick's iron will allowed him to not only survive, but to decapitate Ugulhard with his [[chainsword]] and then pull the Power Klaw from his corpse and hold it aloft for all to see. The sight caused the Orks to flee in terror, while simultaneously causing the human defenders to charge forward with renewed vigour. Only after the Orks had been routed did Yarrick allow himself the luxury of passing out.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|6}}

The Imperial defence of Hades Hive was so implacable that eventually Ghazghkull himself joined the attack, leading his forces from the front. He tried to take the Hive by every strategy he could imagine, but Yarrick countered them all. Eventually, Hades Hive became a personal battle between the two warriors. When Ghazghkull fell upon the hive, Yarrick realised they could not hold their position. In a series of daring shuttle runs, the remaining forces managed to escape. Yarrick himself received a near-fatal wound in combat with Ghazghkull, and hovered near death during the final stage of the evacuation{{Fn|1b}}.
