Goochman Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I keep looking at the rules and it really I don't get it!!!!Why Tycho can't fly if he's part of the D/C? You can have the same either flying or on foot but Tycho can only walk. Why is that? Why can't I pay the pts (like a regular D/C guy) and have him fly with the rest?That really sucks...... :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wait...Tycho's in the Grey Knights codex? Whoa. I smell a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 He may just be confused. Perhaps a mod can shuffle this over to the BA forum so they can handle him how they must there. :angry: I use the BA codex, so I semi-count, I guess. Tycho's a special character; special characters are as-is purchases. Death Company don't have to fly, so if you don't want a flying DC, DC Tycho may be for you.

Except for the fact that DC Tycho is probably the 2nd Worst Special Character in the game, second only to Lukas. That's my opinion, of course.

Play Crowe for a while and Tycho starts to look kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustonT Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 In answer to the original question. Tycho is basically a tactical marine. He was captain of the 3rd Co in the way way back (codex wise) where BA players ran tacticals as troops choices, weird right? He's basically handicapped by his historical role of heading a Rhino Rush army, now obsolescent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Captain Tycho is not so bad in a rhino/razorback army. DC Tycho is the worst character in the BA codex. He can't join a unit (and is not a part of the DC, if he was a part of the DC he might be worthwhile) and unlike Mephiston/Sanguinor is not high toughness or eternal warrior. 1 Lascannon or missile launcher and a failed save and he's gone. He is fleet, which is nice, but overall not worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Rawl Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Or in the next codex, let him die with whats left of his dignity intact... This, can we lay those heroes we know to be dead to rest without having a new writer zombie shuffling him to the not used pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, can we lay those heroes we know to be dead to rest without having a new writer zombie shuffling him to the not used pile. Totally disagree, keep Tycho in, he is a cool, flavourful character. That said, he could do with a 25pt drop in cost. Anyway, if you dont want dead characters in codexes, then Ward will just have to write him coming back to life again, like Lysander, and that is a far worse option. @Goochman (?!) Tycho is not a member of the death company, youll notice that he is not an independant character, so cannot join them. It would be nice if he could take a jump pack, though. I think all BA characters should have this option, like lemartes in the 3rd ed codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
