The '''Typhon Heavy Siege Tank''' was a heavy assault vehicle used by the [[Legio Astartes]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. Named after the 'Great Beast' of [[Terra|Terran]] myth, it was developed by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] simultaneously with the [[Spartan Assault Tank]] and as a result shares its basic hull, armor, and chassis designs. The Typhon is a mobile gun and siege platform which operates a single massive [[Dreadhammer Cannon]].{{Fn|1}}
The design itself was created in response to a request from [[Perturabo]], [[Primarch]] of the [[Iron Warriors]], who demanded a vehicle that could deploy rapidly but also carry heavy fortress-breaking firepower.{{Fn|1}}
