Named after the 'Great Beast' of [[Terra|Terran]] n myth, it was developed by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] simultaneously with the [[Spartan Assault Tank]] and as a result shares its basic hull, armorarmour, 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}} As with many other classes of heavy tank, the Typhon fell out of use in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy. However some chapter'[[Chapter]]s still have small amounts numbers of Typhon's Typhons in service. Still a lot of [[Master of the Forge|Masters of the Forge]] are reluctant to use Typhons in all but the direst circumstances, believing that their creation's bonds with Perturabo may stain their [[machine-spirits spirit]]s forever.{{Fn|2a}}

The main weapon of the Typhon - is a [[Dreadhammer Cannon]] , which can demolish any enemy fortifications of the enemy and since the [[Great Crusade provided ]] has proved a strong siege addition to any [[Space Marine]] armyfor sieges.{{Fn|2a}}

[[Chaos Space Marine]] warbands are still known to use Typhon'sTyphons, but these are relics of the [[Great Crusade]] and have long since been Daemonically [[Daemonic]]ally corrupted.{{Fn|4}}
