The wounds took their toll upon Tycho but his spirit remained strong and loyal unto his death. In his final moment Tycho was heard across battlefield shouting "For the Deus Sanguinius!". His sacrifice enabled the Blood Angels to take the position the Orks had defended so fiercely<sup>2</sup>.

Tycho wears [[Artificer armor]] incorporating an [[Iron Halo]] and carries a [[Combi-meltagun]] along with [[Frag Grenades|Frag]] and [[Krak Grenades]].
==Character Origin==
Tycho appeared in the first battle report for the second edition of Warhammer 40,000 in which the Blood Angels player named his general "Tycho". Tycho was armed with his now characteristic weapons of a [[Combi-weapon|Bolter-Meltagun]] and the [[digital weapon|digi-lasers]] in the gauntlet on his left hand. During the course of the battle Tycho succumbed to a psychic blast from an Ork Weirdboy, and in game terms "killed". This was later incorporated into the character's background, as him having survived the attack grievously wounded. Tycho's special rules concerning his hate for Orks make him a good HQ choice for Blood Angels players when fighting Orks.
