At the Third Battle for Armageddon Captain Tycho was badly injured and his cripled body was put into one of the Chapter`s dreadnoughts. But if you want use him as he was before that battle.

In order to use Tycho at Tempestora Hive, you must select Tycho as an HQ choice without any Honour Guard and with no alterations to the wargear specified below.

You must also include a Chaplain. Tycho will fight as one of the Death Company and does not follow any of the independent character rules. Opponents may of course designate him as the target for melee attacks subject to the normal rules.

Wargear: Combi-bolter-melta, artificer armour, bolt pistol, frag and krak grenades, bionics, purity seals and digi-lasers. These items are described in Codex Space Marines and Blood Angels.

Embittered: If Tycho has joined the Death Company, they are subject to the Black Rage every turn. They still roll the distance moved however.

Hates Orks: In hand-to-hand combat, Tycho hits Orks on a 3+ regardless of WS.

The Red Thirst: If a Death Company contains Captain Tycho then it must move directly toward the nearest enemy as fast as possible and must make an assault if it can do so. This applies even if a Chaplain or Sanguinary High Priest leads the Death Company.

Fearless: As with other Death Company, Tycho automatically passes any Leadership test he is required to make and ignores effects that would make him fall back automatically.

Ignore Injury: Whenever Tycho loses a wound he has a 4+ save. This does not apply when shot by weapons of STR 8 or more (which would kill him outright) or struck in melee by attacks which negate armour saves.

Transport: A Death Company including Tycho may not use jump packs and must be mounted in a Rhino. If there are more than 10 Death Company (including the Chaplain and Tycho) then they may not use the Rhino and must march into battle on foot instead.
