New Campaign Book: Fourth War for Armageddon. As both Ork and Chaos-tainted armies close in on the planet to settle old grudges, the Imperium digs in for what may be the fiercest fight yet. But other alien races may be lurking in the fringes in order to pick apart any targets of opportunity.
What would it incorporate? New missions, and a mission-chain story campaign for 2+ players. (Culminating in the death of Commissar Yarrick defeating the forces of disorder.) In addition to the main plot, focused around Armies of the Imperium on one side and a sort of alliance-by-default between the Orks and the forces of Chaos, (who will undoubtedly fight one another when things are either resolved or get too boring!) the book would contain several optional side plots so that any odd armies your group may contain, such as Eldar, Tau, or Tyranids, would still be able to play in the ongoing campaign.
And of course, it all ends with a huge Apoc battle, in which the canon story ending sees Commissar Yarrick (and possibly Ghazgul?) die fighting a Chaos incursion of unbelievable proportions.
Gazzkul could be killed, too - Defeated by Yarrick. Little did he know that this was a part of Gork and Mork's plan all along, because they have found themselves two new champions, that'll take over the biggest WAAAGH ever to live... Grukk Facerippa and Mogrok the Big Mek. When the Red Waagh, the Octarius Waagh and the Waagh on Armaggedon fuses, nothing can stop them. And on top of that, the twin gods will even have ready bodies to possess. How will Yarrick deal with two leaders at once? Might the only reason he survived have been that Ghazzy liked him as an opponnent, and will Grukk and Mogrok feel the same way? Character development
What if Gork/Mork's new champion ends up being Yarrick? He speaks Ork, is Orky enuff to wield a Power Klaw, and is the Orkiest ummie in the galaxy.
Kidding of course.
But my one Character to kill is Lysander. He is a big jerk who almost got the entire 1st company killed (Sentinels of Terra I believe?) and was demoted. If he is killed, one of the First Founding chapters goes into disarray because of one death.
This would hit so many sweet spots with me; plastic Steel Legion, new Yarrick and new Ghazzy models to boot! Make Ghaz an optional part of a plastic mega armoured Boss kit. Boom! In those three kits alone, I'd drop hundreds.
Eldrad already died, and war retconned back to life.
Abby will probably never die, due to GW thinking he's the bestest threat ever. He'd be Kayoss' Marty Stu, if it wasn't for the fact that everything he does fails.
I choose....all the orks! cause I hate orks, they are stupid....yeah that seems to be my reasoning...that might progress the fluff a little....can we un-get rid of some characters? Like...all the Tyranid ones that were removed cause Gw got their asses kicked?

He wasn't retconned back to life so much as the timeline skipped back an hour or so to before he died.

*has a quiet moment to mourn Yarrick*
I like Yarrick a lot, but that would work.
This would be an awosome way for Yarrick to go out.
Well I would like to say that I would be dissapointed if Yarrick died peacefully of old age. Mind you, rofl, it kinda would be funny. Still the man is a warrior, he's practically half Ork the beast, he should die in battle doing his absolute best defending the Imperium to the very end.

Amusingly, he was called to the 2nd war for Armageddon one day before his retirement.
Logan Grimnar -- I think he's just there to remind players what Leman Russ would be like.
If we get "40K End Times" Logan would almost definitely have to be killed off, so that the authors won't have to worry about writing what's basically two exactly same persona conversing with each other.
That and Space Wolves would get a major revamp with the current High King dead, there can be some interesting dramas and feuds within the chapter.

Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers.

I bet he wants to die in battle too but he's just too fething tough to go down.

Reminds me of something I came across recently:
Spoiler:
LOGAN GRIMNAR GETS A TALKING TO
"Brothers, brothers, let us call the grand convocation of chapter masters to order."
Slowly hush descended as various post human supermen put down glasses of wine or forkfuls of food, all save for Pedro Kantor and Helbrecht who were eating large spoonfuls of chocolate pudding whilst staring at Vladimir Pugh making loud mmmmmm noises. Pugh's face was growing redder by the second.
"Brothers, order please!" Dante of the Blood Angels slammed a fist on the lectern.
"I have called this conference to discuss a very pressing problem, I speak of course of the wolf issue."
Angry muttering filled the room, the Space Wolves new armoury had caused consternation in the fellow astartes chapters.
"Logan Grimnar, you and I have known each other for hundreds of years, we have fought by each other's side more times than I can remember so as a friend I have brought you here to tell you that this **** has to stop. We could cope with the Wolf Guard, **** it we could even deal with everything being called wolf but this." A picture of the the wolf sled appeared on the holo projector "This has to stop friend."
"Hypocrite!" bellowed a Space Wolf "Don't think we've forgotten about deep striking land raiders, or the obsession with blood."
"At least they're not furries!" a voice yelled and was met by a cheer.
Now it was Grimnar's turn to stand.
"Hunting Fenrisian wolves is part of our culture, we have a right to take trophies."
"So do we," rumbled Tu'shan of the Salamanders, "but you don't see us with ears and and tail." He gave a worried look at his fire drakes each covered is horns and scales and made a mental note to have a chat with them back on Nocturne.
"Logan we do not wish to insult you but we just wanted to show you how far-"
"You have come to being a total [see forum posting rules]!" yelled Gabriel Seth who threw a bread roll for added emphasis.
Logan gave a sigh as the roll stuck on the wolf pelt on his armor.
"Brothers, surely you can forgive a first founding chapter their..." he glanced at the wolf swords of his Wolf Guard "their little eccentricities, have we not done much for the cause of the Imperium. By our actions, the Inquisition have been told to back off from interfering in the affairs of our chapters and by our blades have countless innocent lives been saved" (muttering greeted this statement as the definition of 'innocent' was one that was up for close debate amongst the various chapters). "We all after all have our iconography, the Dark Angels bolt stonework to everything, the Salamanders have their scales, we have our wolves I find it breathtaking" Logan's voice raised to a deafening yell "that other chapters would have the audacity to interfere-"
"You make us all look ridiculous!" yelled a Silver Skull.
The debate raged for two hours more until eventually the Great Wolf and his Wolf Guard where driven from the hall in a hail of bread rolls and catcalls.
Later Logan found himself trudging the deep passages of the Fang, lost in his own thoughts, he had exchanged his armour for the loose tunics the Wolves wore when not in battle and his footsteps echoed through the dimly lit corridors he passed Murderfang being wrestled into containment by a trio of Iron Priests.
"YIFF!" it screamed gnashing at the air "YIFF! YIFF! YIFF!" Logan winced and carried onward to an ornate vault which swung open at his touch.
"LOGAN!" a voice boomed from the darkness "What brings you here this night?"
In an jewel encrusted alcove stood the squat form of Bjorn the Fell Handed, the ancient dreadnought beckoned with a claw.
"Come Logan, sit and tell me what ails you boy."
Logan pulled a short three legged stool from a corner, noting the mating wolves carved on the top. The Great Wolf sank forward head in his hands.
"Where did it all go wrong Bjorn? We used to be feared and loved. Everyone wanted to be us. When the chapter walked and met it's fellows, they would respect us. Now they laugh."
There was a mechanical sigh from the sarcophagus.
"It's because we just aren't scary anymore son. We used to be, gods we were downright terrifying. Do you know why people used to join us back in the day?"
"For honour, for being selected to fight in the Allfather's crusade?
"WRONG" yelled Bjorn "It wasn't for honour. It wasn't to see the stars. Sure as **** wasn't to pansy around with the Allfather, it was for these reasons: drinking, fighting, bitches. Becoming an astartes gave you lots of all three. We were supermen for crying out loud, all young and fired up and ready to go. People were scared of us not because we loved death but because we LOVED LIFE, we loved BEING an astartes, we loved the blood and booze and the pillaging. We were raiders and reavers and lunatics. You," Bjorn pointed a claw at Logan "have lost sight of that. "We had enthusiasm."
"But what does this have to with the whole 'wolf thing'?"
"Because you think the wolf thing was what gave us identity, made us special but it wasn't. What made us special was that we were sweaty beardy angry savages with guns and gene implants. We wore the teeth and totems to remind us of home. Wolves didn't define us, they were a part of the rich primal heritage of Fenris, one symbol amongst many."

You're not. If you're worried about your opponent using 'fake' rules, you're having fun the wrong way. This hobby isn't about rules. It's about buying Citadel miniatures.
Please report to your nearest GW store for attitude readjustment. Take your wallet.

Interesting. Then the finale could involve Thrakka and Yarrick in the midst of a huge melee, when a greater demon or prince rises from all the slaughter and starts talking smack, and both Ghaz and Yarrick turn to simultaneously powerclaw punch it in the face. Cue former enemies teaming up against the arse who interrupted their fight.

No. Gazz dies and Yarrick leads the Orks AND guard against the chaos invasion himself.

I went to Hershey Park in central PA this year, and I have to say I was more than a little disappointed. I fully expected the entire theme park to be make entirely of chocolate, but no. Here in America, we have "building codes," and some other nonsense about chocolate melting if don't store it someplace kept below room temperature.

You know what, I could get behind that. A desperate move only made possible because of him being basically revered by the Orks he fight.
If Yarrick beat any Ork Warboss and said "Alright Boyz me be knowing where da fighting is!" I bet the Orks under the former warboss would join Yarrick on his very own Waaaaaagh! even if it's against Orks.

I will not take that bet good sir, I would just be giving you money.
While that would be far better then killing him off if you ask me, I find it hard to picture him leading Orks after all he has given to the Imperium.
Though I do know who my WarBoss will be if I do make an Ork army....
8th made it so I can no longer sway Tau onto the side of Chaos, but they will eventually turn aside from their idea of the Greater Good to embrace the Greatest of pleasures.
I understand they have a small empire and small influence in the whole Galaxy.
But with all the bad guys, waagh... I am pretty sure it may not too difficult to send a large enough fleet and army to destroy all the farsight planets.

I'm gonna cheat a bit and say Aun'Va, Because if you read Mont'ka
(SPOILERS! DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS!)
Spoiler:
Aun'Va is already dead, He was killed by an Imperial Assassin and since the Ethereals dident want to cause panic they replaced him with a hologram to make everyone think he's still alive. I want them to advance the story by removing the hologram and admitting he is dead, So they can elect a new Aun'O, Or a Ethereal Council, To replace him.
