Decoding the TYPHUS Datasheet A Comprehensive Guide
A TYPHUS Datasheet isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s a distilled representation of a unit’s capabilities in the grim darkness of the far future. Think of it as a character profile, outlining everything from Typhus’s raw combat prowess to his unique special abilities. The Datasheet is broken down into key sections that allow players to quickly understand a unit’s strengths and weaknesses, enabling informed tactical decisions during gameplay. Understanding a Datasheet is vital for effective army building and battlefield strategy. The sheet contains things like:
- Movement speed
- Weapon skill and ballistic skill
- Strength and Toughness
- Wound count
- Save characteristic
- Leadership
- Special abilities and Wargear
The core of the TYPHUS Datasheet lies in its statline. This numerically represents Typhus’s characteristics, such as Movement (M), Weapon Skill (WS), Ballistic Skill (BS), Strength (S), Toughness (T), Wounds (W), Attacks (A), Leadership (Ld), and Save (Sv). Each value dictates how well Typhus performs in various actions. For instance, a high Strength score makes him more effective in melee combat, while a good Ballistic Skill allows for more accurate shooting. A higher wound count allows him to take more damage before being removed from play. Knowing these stats allows you to plan attacks and defense effectively.
Beyond the raw numbers, a TYPHUS Datasheet details the unit’s special abilities and wargear. This section is absolutely critical, as it defines what makes Typhus unique. For example, the Datasheet will list any special rules Typhus has such as ‘Nurgle’s Gift’ to inflict mortal wounds or details about his Manreaper scythe. It also lists what wargear that Typhus has. Understanding these abilities and wargear options is crucial for maximizing Typhus’s effectiveness on the battlefield. A small example is in the table below
| Characteristic | Value |
|---|---|
| Movement | 5" |
| Strength | 6 |
