Lord Typhus and Death Guard Chosen
Here is the big guy himself. I rarely use Typhus, and mostly painted up the mini to use as a terminator lord (which I also pretty much never use).
The 3 chosen are conversions from chaos terminators with some greenstuff and Grey Knight pieces to give them a more baroque feel. They are sporting their “just turned to chaos last week” filthy loyalist paint scheme. Apparently the first thing you think of when you convert to the Dark Powers is “Hey buddy, lets get us some trophy racks,….and Death to the False Emperor!”
Rules wise, I mix the 3 chosen in with 4 of the terminator models from the loyalist army to build the following unit:
Plague Terminators:
Aspiring Champion (The one with the mace, sword, and golden shield-plate)
Mark of Nurgle
Power Weapon
CC weapon
Deamonic Strength
Nurgle’s Rot
Plague Terminators (x6)
2 Powerfists
4 Powerweapons
4 Combi-bolters
2 Reaper Autocannons
Tank Hunters USR
The squad comes out to @370 pts which is really pricey, but they do get the job done. We are talking about T:5 terminators here. They spit out 4 x36″ S:7(8) shots (linked), get a boatload of powerweapon attacks followed by a handful of powerfists to deal with anything that survived (or vehicles). The Aspiring Champion is a nasty surprise with 4(5) power weapon attacks at S:5. If I feel like really splurging he gets a Plague-sword and sometimes even Daemonic Mutation to up his A+1.
This squad is always brought down near one of the teleport homers I spread throughout my lists. At their price, no random scatters allowed.
Enjoy!
