Do Deathshroud Terminators make better looking Typhus models than the Typhus model?

Aside from now being outscaled I actually prefer the original

Anything makes a better Typhus stand in than the new model.....
Hell I'd proxy in this guy

Nagash is that you?

Wearing a cone hat of skulls on his skull. "Yo, dawg, I heard you like skulls..."

Lol! That was the peak of Warhammer model design.

Oh come on, disco typhus doesn't do it for you? It is the new more kiddy friendly nurgle, because GW.

No, it is not just you. The new typhus sculpts pose is bad, i have seen a few modified models that came out good. But any of the deathshroud terminators are more typhus, than typhus.

One of the Deathshroud models is a near copy of the original Typhus. It has the same exact pose and many of the same details, but the head is a bit different. So it's not strange at all to draw the connection.

Did a conversion of Heresy miniatures fallen Boris to make my Typhus. He's in relatively the same pose as the original and is huge.

Yeah, his new pose is awful. Needs some conversion work to not look silly.

Not a bad conversion, I like it.

The new typhus model is obviously going to be more down to personal taste. I actually like it, I converted mine with a slight repose of both arms and he looks really great IMO

Typhus Andromedon

I have several friends who play Death Guard...not a single one has purchased the new Typhus model - they all think it's fething hideous.

Most are using either the converted starter box dude or one of the new Terminators as mentioned.

Pretty sure I'm the only one in the world who likes the new typhus model.

The model design is all right, I think. What really breaks it is the posing, IMO.

Honestly it’s a poor business decision to release multiple clam packs of expensive hero character, and also large box kits of customizable guys that will look equally as gribbly and impressive with some minor conversions. Typhus from deathshroud, Foulblight from the Nurgle box or starter heroes, same with all the others. There’s nothing really more impressive about Typhus’s boils and lesions than any of the other new sculpts.
