4/5 stars. The big sister of the vindicator!
Background.
The Typhon really is very much like an up-scaled vindicator. Invented with the collaboration of Perturabo of the Iron Warriors, this is a rapid deployment solution to siege breaking. And a powerful one to boot.
Strengths.
The dreadhammer siege cannon is the star of the show here. A 5 inch blast is reasonable and it comes at S=12, AP=3, and S=3. Breaching helps, as does stun to certain enemies. Ordnance for extra damage is the icing on the cake. It will literally destroy enemy fortifications, and much in between.
AV=14 (13 on the rear) will keep it in play along with the 12 hull points. In some ways, it is like the up close and personal version of the Cerberus but designed for a large blast rather than pin point lasering.
Weaknesses.
Spectacularly risky short range of 24 inches on the dreadhammer is always fun despite the first half of my sentence here.
Builds.
Typhon (400 points).
I'd actually go with the non-upgraded version here. Maybe a pintle based havoc launcher to taste for extra anti-infantry duty.
