9x19 Parabellum Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm not a big 40k fluff expert. I'm setting up a themed game for next week with my buddy. I need the name of some Ork boss/warboss/shaman/whatever who may have had and survived a combat encounter with Erasmus Tycho, and for whom he would have carried a massive grudge. Does anyone know any stories, codex, novel or other, that could be mined to support such a grudge match?

Leonaides Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Theres the wierdboy who fried his nervous system i guess... finding out the ork responsible for that was still around would definately require action.

rayvn26 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) The story stems from a battle report in White Dwarf 166 (October 1993) page 51 wherein Tycho, a generic Blood Angel Captain at the time just given a name by the player, I believe it was Gavin Thorpe playing them, in that battle an unnamed Ork Weirdboy blasted him with Zzap and killed him. But in the aftermath the model, Blood Angel Captain, was renamed Brother Captain Tycho in 1996, and given the fluff of the facial scaring and hatred towards Orks in the 2nd Edition (1996) Codex Angels of Death page 97. There you get a little tidbit of the info about the battle, it wasn't until the 6th Edition codex Blood Angels (2009) where you get a bit more of the info about him and his induction to the Death Company on page 41. I think there's more info in the books about the War of Armageddon, not sure I haven't read those yet. I've included pics of the covers of the 3 books I've mentioned Edited October 17, 2017 by rayvn26 Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340361-tycho-fluff-help/#findComment-4910584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matarno - Lord of Skyfall Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Does anyone know the White Dwarf issue where Tycho finally succumbed to the Black Rage and led the assault against the Orks during the Third War. I have no idea what year it is from, probably 200ish? I remember it as being a great short story, featuring both Tycho and Lemartes.

Karhedron Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think it was during the Armageddon 3 worldwide campaign which I think was the summer of 2000 but I can't narrow it down further than that I am afraid.

Mordas Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Tycho was the sole reason I got into the Blood Angels, his lore was just great. The fallen hero filled with rage and never resting between deployments. Was gutted when they killed him off.
