Noticed Typhus is gone from the GW store. Maybe he's getting a plastic kit?

I think LadyAtia mentioned Typhus is getting a new model, or at least hinted at it. However it is (apparently) NOT the terminator from the Death Guard Promo (the one with the Tallyman).

**MrVulcanator**

Hope it will be as cool as the FW HH model.

**NoiseMarine with Tinnitus**

Considering they have updated Kharn and Ahriman it is almost guaranteed.

It is the update to Abaddon and Huron Blackheart I am waiting on but get the feeling it is going to be some time yet.

**MechaEmperor7000**

I hope they update Abaddon and Bile before anyone else. They're the last two 2nd edition Chaos models left I think.

**Meatloafwarrior**

That'd be okay with me. I like my Bile model though. I used to always run him with Lucius.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Lucius needs a new model and all. Far too static.

**Meatloafwarrior**

With Magnus the Red and Mortarion, I hope they eventually release a Fulgrim model. I'd like to see his demon form.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Not gonna lie, while I do want all the characters updated, I would be pretty salty if Lucius got it before Abaddon. I think Lucius, among the old pewter models, is actually the newest (I forget if he is newer or Huron is).

**Darnok**

While the current Typhus model is pretty amazing, it needs an update. The new DG models are noticable bigger than older CSM models, and "old Typhus" looks out of scale with them.

If I read the comment from Lady Atia right, we can see a bit of "new Typhus" in the Tallyman video - on the far right side towards the end.

I doubt GW can do much wrong with an update. Apart from the price, obviously.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Thing is most people might skip on the typhus model and go straight for the Deathshroud Terminators. LadyAtia implied that the terminator in the vid wasn't Typhus, but other than the helmet the guy is a dead ringer nonetheless. If Typhus ends up being expensive, I'm willing to bet most people will just go for the terminator box and convert their own.

Plus with the abundance of Lords of Contagion floating around (it comes in two great value starter sets), I think converted Typhuses will be more popular than the actual thing.
