	As Erasmus Tycho is partially named after a Dane, it is possible that the name "Erasmus" comes from a famous Danish stage-play, called "Erasmus Montanus". It centers around the homecoming of ~~peasent~~ Rasmus Berg, who was sent to the university of Copenhagen in the early 1900s to educate himself into Latin and the world in general. When he arrives at his birthhome, he had his name changed to Erasmus Montanus, believing it to be the Latin version of his name ("berg" being a mispelling of "bjerg", the danish word for "mountain", and "montanus" being Latin for the same.), and generally being a ponce about his newfound knowledge. As it turns out, he has learned a lot of stuff, but doesn't have a clue as to how to apply it, and uses faulty logic to argue his cases (A famous example being him turning his mother into a stone, by ~~ascerning,~~ that "A stone can't fly, mom can't fly, so mom must be a stone", alienating anyone and making his mother cry. This way of arguing is, to this day, called "Montanish Arguement" in Denmark), and ending up being forced to give up his knowledge by agreeing that the world indeed is flat, and not round, as he stated.

	Captain Tycho is a ranged-geared captain with ATSKNF, Rites of Battle (OR the Black Rage if you take his edgy version), Abhor the Beast([[Orks]]), and his warlord trait "Selfless Valour" increaes his Heroic Interventions to 6".

	'''Erasmus Tycho''' was the [[Brother-Captain\|Captain]] of the [[Blood Angels]] 3rd Company who participated in both the Second and Third Wars for [[Armageddon]]. He is a shining example of [[Your dudes]], as his background came from the very first [[White Dwarf]] battle report for WH40K Second Edition where he was killed by an [[Ork]] player's [[Weirdboy]].

His official name and wargear are the same as they were in that first battle.

	By the time of the Second War for Armaggedon, Tycho was the [[Brother-Sergeant\|Veteran Sergeant]] of the 3rd Company's [[Command Squad]], and quickly took charge when his predecessor was killed early in the fighting, and [[Chapter Master]] [[Dante]] soon confirmed his appointment as Captain. However, the battle saw Tycho's face suffer nerve damage, leaving him with a rictus grin. Like any self-respecting son of [[Sanguinius]], Tycho had an appreciation of beauty, and was unable to keep looking at his injured face. Now that he was a Captain, he had a golden face cover placed over the right side of his face. Tycho's hatred for the Orks was great, and after brooding and sulking on [[Baal]] for a while, he began volunteering for dangerous missions against the Orks. His victories earned the admiration of the Blood Angels rank and file, and there was talk that he would succeed Dante as Chapter Master. However, the [[Chaplain]]s were growing concerned over the anger that was festering in him. When the Third War for Armageddon came, Tycho volunteered the Third Company for deployment. During the War, Tycho began to have visions of [[Horus]], and Chaplain Vermento inducted Tycho into the [[Death Company]]. He spent his last battle taking an Ork-held [[hive city]], during which he was a instrumental participant.
