Ishagu Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Someone on the forum informed me that the kit has recently been re-done, and the tracks are now a part of the main body which resolves a lot of the issues with badly cast bits... Anyways, I might get a Typhon as a little bday treat, but I won't bother just yet if they haven't updated it...

Shaolin_Monkey Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yes it has too. Uses the same tracks and now has them cast on as per the new Spartan. I queried FW on this a month or so back to verify.

Marshal Rohr Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Gents, that's because it's the same mold for both. A L/R mold for the sides.

Frater Cornelius Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The thought of an Eldar Scatterbike player crying cheese when facing a Typhon. Hmmmmmm. I need one in my life.

v6v77 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The thought of an Eldar Scatterbike player crying cheese when facing a Typhon. Hmmmmmm. I need one in my life. There is nothing sweeter that the tears of Tau cheese mongers, DA 2+ jink savers and eldar bike and serpent spammers. On the upside i brought a typhon not knowing the reputation the kit had. Came with one piece track units and went together easier than a rhino.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I was gonna get one on Sunday, but after the Spartan, Xiphon, Dracosian, Lightning and ... you get the picture :) The guy tempted me the most by saying it's got the new & improved track moulding, so a definite confirmation by a FW employee in person for ya! Sadly/Joyfully they'd sold out of Typhon kits by the time I'd returned so I was spared the expense! Dat Dreadhammer do. Nom.

Charlo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 It's genuinely hard to put Primarchs in your list when the Typhon exists....

Ishagu Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 A Primarch would kick the Typhon's Ceramite butt in combat :-P I do agree however, you need to have a plan to utilise a Primarch, but at the same time they are the most unique and interesting thing about 30k On the plus side, you can include both in big games!

Depends on the Primarch, sadly good old morty can't touch AV14 bar a glance with his shooter. I do agree though, but I'm not sure what an opponent will worry more about, bit hitty man or big deletion cannon...
