So, after looking at my Chaos Lords, I noticed that none of them were sufficiently "Tzeentchy". One actually looked like a Khorne Lord who read books. So, I decided to make a new one.

Whenever I picture Tzeentch Mutations, I always think of Eyes. I have no clue why. Probably me thinking along the Lines of "All-Seeing Eye" causing them to see more and gain more Knowledge of their Surroundings. It makes sense in my head.

He'll probably be getting some Books and stuff thrown on, his Helmet will probably be modified, the GS smoothed out, and he will be Deathscreamer equipped. (And the flash on the Backpack trimmed. Just saw that.)

Sorry about the Lighting, I didn't want to try moving him in case I messed up the GS while it was setting. So he stayed on my Workdesk.

Anyone who knows what the name "Argus" is from gets a Cookie.

So, thoughts? Ideas? Random musings about it?

**Exor**

Lol, the eye reminds of the g-virus

**Anthasu1**

Nemesis in 40K?

I guess thats kind of good, considering its supposed to look twisted and Evil. So, Yay?

**Leigen_Zero**

I sincerely apologise but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this was EYE-BOOBIES!

Looks good though, I would suggest you sculpt some more eyes on there, it would be cool to have armour made up of lots of swirling eyes all dividing/merging (think lucius the eternals armour, but eyes instead of souls).

**Kveldulv**

Argus, that's the greek guy with all the eyes, right? I don't know if it's an expression in English as well, but in Norwegian you can watch something "with Argus' gaze". Nice!

**Anthasu1**

@Leigon- That Armor Idea sounds pretty cool. I'll have to try something like that now.

@Kveldulv- You are correct. He is named after Argus from Greek Mythology. You just won a Virtual Cookie.

**Judge Radd**

Very cool. I know how you feel about eyes. My small Tzeentchian Combat Patrol army has an eye theme. The background to them is that they paint their army with thousands of eyes in order to gain the respect of Tzeentch, and some even have giant mutated eyes on their bodies like your Lord. But your eye looks a lot better than mine!
Can't wait to see progress on this!

**Mud Duck**

Like the idea but I would consider cutting the orb of the eyeball in half and sculpt the lids around that. May avoid the "eye boobie" look. Also the outside folds look abit to far from the ball itself. so from this < 0 > to this <O>. If that makes any scence.

Update!

The Heavy Flamer to Combi-Flamer thing originally came about when I saw my first Lord's Combi-Flamer. I decided I might as well go Combi-Flamer for his shooting Weapon. (At this point I realized all my Swords were on Chosen and Sorcerors, so I had nothing for a Deathscreamer.)

I did a quick mod to the Powerfist's Position, and then I got started on the Combiflamer. Originally, it was much smaller. Then I saw my spare Heavy Flamer in my Bits Box. Such a cool weapon, probably never going to get used. I decided to use it right then. Might as well give the Legion's Master a BFG (Big Freaking Gun, not Battlefleet Gothic.) to prove his authority. So that is why he has a Heavy Flamer with a Boltgun strapped to it on his arm. And I gave him a Ponytail. I don't know why, but I think it looks sweet.

I then added an Eye to the Fist and to the back of his Leg Armor. It will be tough to sneak up on this guy.

I might throw on some more eyes later, and might add a Chainsword Bayonet to his BFG. And trim some Flash off the Barrel that I noticed.

@Mad Duck- The eyes are actually smaller and more compact from a distance. At that close, it just looks spaced. Unless someone picks it up and holds it three inches from his eye, it won't seem to wide.

@Ziggy- Awesome! Glad to see I'm not the only one who associates Eyes with Tzeentch.

**LordBoJangles**

Wow, that is a nice model, i like the gun the most.

**Aduro**

Need to fill in the joints on the gun with some Green Stuff, and blend the eyes into the fist and leg more so they look less stuck on. Otherwise looking really good.

**Buttlerthepug**

I like it, however the eyes are too "big" or rather they pop out too much. imo they need to blend in too the armor a bit more... The one on the power first looks like hes got some giant growth on his hand... bring them closer to the model and blend em in a little and this would be an awsome conversion!

**Anthasu1**

Update!

I worked to blend the eyes in a bit more, and I filled gaps in the gun.

Took off the Topknot/Ponytail, as I couldn't get it to stick on. (Misplaced my Drill, so I couldn't pin it.)

The Eye on the hand is still a little large, but I think it looks better.

I tried to do a wrinkled affect around the Eyes, as if the forces of Chaos are working to twist it into existence from the Armor.

@Aduro- Thanks! I am still working on filling in the Gun, but I hope that the Eyes look a bit more blended now.

@Buttler- I had noticed that some "Popped" too much as well. Hopefully it looks better now.

EDIT: I see that some places really need to be smoothed out. I will get working on that ASAP.

**Buttlerthepug**

Much better, although as you said the eye on the arm still seems a bit out there still.

**Anthasu1**

Thank you. The Eye on the arm I cant fix without redoing it, and it actually looks fine IRL, so I think I'll just leave it.

**Leigen_Zero**

I think the powerfist eye looks cool anyway, Simply because it gives the image of a daemon infesting the weapon as it's body, and sprouting an eye so it can see what it is doing, I imagine it to be kind of like thing from the adams family, with an eye and it can kill stuff.

**Anthasu1**

@Leigon- And it rips through Armor. Thats an important part of the Powefist. It would be kinda interesting to see it on the Addams Family... I actually think it would be a cool Daemon Weapon. If I could Sculpt Fire I might have been able to turn it into a Deathscreamer (With a "Mouth" on the palm of the Hand spitting out Fire as featured on Tzeentch Daemons.) Next Chaos Lord I guess.

So, I sculpted another eye on the lower part of his Shoulder Pad. Too lazy to post Pics at the moment though. I'll probably start painting him soon.
