Games Workshop Typhus: Herald of the Plague God Miniature (99120102076)

Overview

Typhus stands as a towering figure from the world of Warhammer, described as the Herald of Nurgle and a central force within the Destroyer Hive. This multi-part plastic kit lets you assemble Typhus, Lord of Mortarion’s First Plague Company, into a dynamic centerpiece for your tabletop. The model is designed to be dramatic from head to toe—with rot textures, pitted Cataphractii armor, skulls, Nurgle icons, and spikes. A master-crafted manreaper rises above him, taller than Typhus himself, while a chimney on his back belches forth a swarm of hive flies. The included scenic base adds a purposeful stance, with Typhus resting a foot on toppled Imperial masonry. This is not a static token; it invites careful assembly and coloring to bring out the sense of ancient power and decay that defines the character.
