The man himself before the age of golden nipples.

Erasmus Tycho was the 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 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 left 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 Chaplains 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.

On the tabletop Tycho comes with 2+/4++ saves, assault and defensive grenades, a combi-melta with special issue ammunition, a special chainfist that carries no initiative penalty, digital weapons and Preferred Enemy: Orks. He also allows all other friendly Blood Angels units to use his LD10. You may also take a Death Company version of Tycho who doesn't come with Independent Character (so no joining squads) but instead has Fleet, Feel No Pain, Relentless and a host of Death Company goodies.
