That's a lot of things to mention while ignoring the fact that Yarrick can kind of, you know, auto-resurrect thanks to the Orks.

No, I'm pretty sure he's always had that one - seeing as he was pulling it off before he got famous.

Is it possible that it was just Yarrick being tough as nails, and his reputation spreading amongst the Orks making his toughness AMPLIFIED in true noise marine fashion?

First time he did it was when he got up after his arm was cut off and he hefted his dead opponent's Klaw above his head so the Orks could see he'd won, which was an effort of will and sheer toughness.

After that it's probably a mixture or will, toughness, cybernetics and WAAAGH!!! field.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
so you're saying if I can torture enough captive orks into believing i'm immortal it'll be true?

[Loud Whispers]

The logical conclusion would be to convince the Orks that the Emperor of mankind is fully alive, fleshy and well - ready for the best fight the world will ever see.

torture
orks

Good one. I don't think they'd even realize they're being tortured. They'd just think you were terrible at scrapping.

I don't know, eventually they would grow bored of it and it would slowly become torture.

[Loud Whispers]

Wouldn't ork torture just be fungiculture?

[Tack]

Yeah I guess you'd need to do it in an airtight room.
Otherwise you'd eventually have some gretchin tapping at the windows.

I dunno, Orks go off 'size ranking'.
Actually who is the tallest out of the lot? I remember a tale somewhere of some random space marine who's twice the size of standard space marines, but I don't know if he's a primarch or a chapter master or whatnot.
So far it seems horus is the biggest, but you only ever see him in Terminator armor.

Edit: Answered my own question, kinda

I think the space marine was a space wolf and was in the forgotten empire

[Grim Portent]

Volos of the Black Dragons is supposed to be to Space Marines as they are to humans if I remember right,  he's big enough that he needed custom made power armour. 9 feet unarmoured I think.

[TempAcc]

Primarchs in general are pretty damn large, with some even having variable size due to psychic fuckery and being warp beings in part. Magnus' size varied depending on wheter he's fighting or trying to look unthreatening, Leman Russ is said to be literally 1.75 a normal space marine in size, and is sometimes described as being able to increase his size when he got angry, etc. The shortest of them is alpharius, me thinks, and he is (was?) taller then space marines as well.

>Implying that the only reason the Emprah's even still alive is that the Orks believe he's alive and the Golden Throne still works

There's a little "Powered by dakka" sticker on the backside of the Golden Throne.

Speaking of which, if I recall correctly, the Cult Mechanicus codex mentioned something about tech-priests striking a bargain with Dark Eldar in order to repair the Golden Throne.

That'd be quite a thing if true.
