TheDarkApostle Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Toughness 4(5) and no EW. One successful Lascannon wound that isn't saved by the 5+ Invul save and he's gone. One successful Powerfist wound from a sergeant or two that isn't saved by the 5+ Invul save and he's gone. Etc. TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Lack of speed, bulky so either walks, deepstrikes or needs a landraider, and lack of eternal warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roma Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Plus, abbadon does what he does, only better and kills him easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 No eternal warrior. No way to reliably deploy him outside of a Landraider. Also, wrong forum. Topic moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Rawl Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Always was a bit peeved that Typhus can cast his spells without a test where Ahriman can't, god I miss 3.5.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've used Typhus to pretty good effect in a few lists lately. He's the only Terminator we get with grenades, so throwing him in a Land Raider with four other Nurgle Terminators usually gets him where he needs to go, then he breaks off to go play with assaulting something in cover after giving them some Wind of Chaos love, while the other Termies wander off to go kill other stuff or hold back until the next assault phase before joining Typhus again. He's got his drawbacks, but I've been pretty pleased with him lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saphappysucker Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The Real Reason I think that People Don't Normally Run him is the above mentioned the Only real way to get him to work is to Run a Landraider and 4 other Terminators. That is a Lot of Points. He will get them back he makes a Great Deathstar type Character. Just a big investment. Plus He can be outclassed by MoN Warptime Demon Princes or so that is what I hear. Personally I love Running Typhus I will Auto Include him once a Game hits 2k. Just below that is a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Typhus works best when supported by a 2nd HQ such as a flying demon prince, or when lurking in a 3man Obliterator squad that you fear will eventually end up in Close Combat with fodder troops.

matchbox Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Personally I find his biggest problem is his 5+ inv save. If they boosted it to a 4+ and gave him eternal warrior he'd be more worth it. Alright his always wounds on 4+ force daemon weapon is really nice. But in my opinion he's a tad too squishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Plus He can be outclassed by MoN Warptime Demon Princes or so that is what I hear. Not anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolandTHTG Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I liked running the Above-mentioned typhus/termi Landraider Deathstar, but I just ran into too many hidden pfists,or especially dreadnoughts. He has no way to kill walkers, and they will instakill him. I love the model, so he occasionally shows up as a nurgle termi lord w/ deamon weapon for 165, and gives me similar abilties vs infantry, and w/o the complete loss of points if he gets squished.
