I got a great christmas gift from Adrian Yap (my girlfriend’s cousin). Thanks man. Typhus is an awesome HQ unit that is actually a combination of both a Chaos Lord (as he has a daemon weapon) and a Chaos Sorcerer (as he can cast psychic powers). He is a spell casting wiz as he does not need to roll for leadership when casting psychic powers and he is a beast in melee as he has 4 abse attacks, and D6 (daemon weapon). His daemon weapon is poisoned so he wounds everyone (yes, even the mighty carnifex and nightbringer) on a 4+. on those poor sods who have toughness 4 or less, he gets to reroll his wounds. Oh wait, did I mention that his Daemon weapon is ALSO a force weapon? crazy man. having 4 wounds himself, typhus in a terminator armour is quite hard to bring down especially considering he has feel no pain as well.
that being said, I still have some grudge against Typhus. He costs 225 points. That’s a freaking land raider. and he has a awesome accuracy of BS5. but guess what, he does not have a gun. not even a pistol. And the biggest down fall of the great typhus is the fact that even though he IS the HERALD of NURGLE, he has a T4(5). vulnerable to powerfists, powerclaws, meltas and lascannons. being an IC hurts as he can be targetted. not even an eternal warrior.
so if you can get around these weaknesses (I have not, as both games I used him, Typhus died really early), then typhus is really the bad boy of the warhammer world.
P.s. : sadly, as a death guard wannabe, I’d rather pay an additional 50 pts and play Abby.
P.s.s : SCREAMS AT GW. Make Typhus T5(6) please!!!!!!!!! then I’d play him ALL the time.
