 When
Mortarion, Primarch of the Death Guard, allied his Legion
with the forces of Warmaster Horus he did not know the
price that would be paid for his decision. One amongst
them knew full well though, and his name was Typhon,
from the feral world of Barbarus. Barbarus was home
to inhuman overlords, and Typhon had some of their blood
in his veins. He was possessed of formidable latent
psychic powers that made him especially valuable as
a recruit.
Typhon rose to the rank of Captain, commander of the
battleship ‘Terminus Est’ and a full company
of Death Guard. When the Death Guard joined Horus it
was he who slew the Navigators still claiming their
loyalty to the Emperor. It was he who promised Mortarion
that his powers could lead them through the Warp to
Terra and it was he who led them to damnation, becalmed
in the Warp, adrift and helpless.
When the Destroyer Plague came and the Death Guard
for all their resilience were struck down, Typhon received
his reward from his true master, Nurgle. Typhon absorbed
the full power of this most terrible plague. His body
became a vessel for the ultimate corruption, his armour
became a hive of pestilence. He was Typhon no longer,
now he was Typhus, Herald of Nurgle and the host of
the Destroyer Hive.
Typhus may be included in your Death Guard Chaos Space
Marines army of 1,500 points or more as a Chaos Lord.
