The First Captain of the Death Guard, and master of the Terminus Est released today from Forge World for shipment next Friday Jan 10th.
While not the Primarch of his legion, Typhon (or Typhus) goes on to have quite a storied future of his own, similar to Ahriman of the Thousand Sons in some regards I supposed.
His new figure features both a bare, and helmeted head and a resin display base that seems to be ripped from the fratricide of Istavaan III purge.
The First Captain of the Death Guard Legiononce pursued the role of Epistolary in the Legion’s Librarius, but with the Primarch Mortarion harbouring a deep-rooted distrust of those who wield the powers of the psyker, Typhon suppressed his gift and strove instead to serve as a war leader. His strength skill and demeanour led him to high rank indeed, culminating in his command of the potent and unique war ship Terminus Est and the deadly alchemical payload held within its arsenal.
In the aftermath of the Legion’s treachery, Typhon is revealed as the master of chemical death and the reaper of men, cutting down his foes with his deadly power scythe and with blasphemous chem munitions.
A complete multi-part resin kit, designed by Edgar Skomorowski, Calas Typhon is depicted in modified Cataphractii pattern Terminator armour and armed with a master crafted Deathshroud power-scythe. The kit includes both a bare and helmeted head and also a large display base with a removeable 40mm base. This model is available to pre-order now and will be despatched from January 10th.
