Sigvald the Magnificent is my favorite character from GW, so now that he's dead and his model is a generic Slaanesh lord, I feel like I can use the character in my own direction so I am expanding my army to fit the following theme:

During the capture of Slaanesh, exhausted, it made one final attempt to secure it's future by reincarnating it's greatest champion...

Sigvald The Magnificent is reborn in the Mortal Realms, several years aged, and bearing the scars from the time of his death. He quickly recruits followers, raises an army, and begins his search for Slaanesh so that the god may restore his former beauty and power.
Sigvald vows to destroy the pretenders who are attempting to replace the god of excess as one of the great 4 chaos gods (Luxscious/Ur-Slaanesh, we commin for you).

Old Sigvald:


AoS Sigvald 'Reborn':
The Deathbringer model was perfect for the conversion because he has a scar on his face which mirrors the damage suffered at the hands of krell in the end times, and once I paint his hair and beard blonde, and the armor plates a beat-up gold, it will work. I also like that he is bigger than the old Sigvald.




Current army:

The old Sigvald model looks too small for the new AoS scale characters.

I bought the Slaves to Darkness box, so up next up is to get a bunch of warriors. I was thinking of making a unit of chosen body guard holding mirrors for Sigvald, but since he is "ugly" now, I dont know if it will work. In his novel he didnt want people looking at him when he was injured.

Sigvald hates deathrattle units (thanks Krell), Trolls, and anything ugly.

Remember kids, Handsome fighters never lose battles.

Maybe Chosen holding covered mirrors, with the intent that if Sigvald manages to free Slaanesh and Slaanesh restores his youth/beauty, they can uncover them?

Top punning.

How about cracked and broken mirrors to represent his cracked and broken visage?

Thanks for the suggestions.
I think I will get a Chaos shrine and do a combination of those on top of it, or some chosen. Until I can decide I will work on some other units. I bought some hellstriders and will be doing a KoS at some point.
For now:
Decided on a colour scheme for the warriors: Black/gold trim and purple.


Added some magic support and with some tzeentch units who have succumbed to the will of Sigvald. When I saw the moonface herald I was reminded of my childhood so I had to choose that option

Thanks all.

New addition:
A few followers of Tzeentch had already joined the Decadent Host - Turning on their disfigured and mutated masters and instead choosing to dawn purple/blue cloaks and serve the Returned Prince of Slaanesh (he was just too handsome to resist).
With their knowledge, Sigvald has saught out, defeated and enslaved a Lord of Change to use as an oracle and guide in his search for Slaanesh.



An unfortunate result of these new tzeentchian servants is the annoyance and indifference of Sigvald, who hates the sight of twisted deamons and frail sorcerers, and thus refuses to acknowledge them unless in battle. Therefore all of Sigvald's former tzeenchian subjects have either dawned masks, or are hard at work devising new spells and magics to change their bodies with more handsome and beautiful features like their master.

Got some knights done, and the Silver Tower news got me motivated to do an exalted flamer and some screamers of tzeentch.

Everything still seems to be looking good so far, SonofSigvald, though I still can't get used to seeing WHFB figures on *shudder* round bases...

Thanks guys.
I've assembled some hellstriders of Slaanesh and playing Total War Warhammer lately.
Sigvald is so awesome, here are some of his speeches from his missions:

More progress:

I decided to try the mirror idea with Slaaneshi Chosen.
I don't like the finecast Chosen and they aren't poseable so I went with the following:



The mirrors will probably be gold trim and metallic center.

I am going to give the whole unit double handed axes like Finecast Chosen, but a few will have mirrors like shown. I went with bloodreaver models because they are jacked and I think Slaaneshi Chosen would have glorious muscularity.

I also did a Chaos Lord on Disk and have the striders ready to go:

Sigvald conversion is great. He's been on the steroids since the end of times! He looks savage now. Slaanesh was always my favourite god so it was a shame to see them get taken out in AoS. Keep up the epic conversions.

I don't like the current finecast Chosen. The chosen in my army are more of Sigvald's Chosen vs just Slaaneshi Chosen, and Sigvald would only choose the most handsome of warriors for his personal bodyguard so the Blood Reaver models work for their muscularity and aesthetic appeal. They are Sigvald's Slaaneshi Chosen with greataxes and his personal Mirror-shield bearers.
Sigvald's followers are often injured in battle (perhaps jumping in front of incoming fire or spilt blood) and know that people often get stabbed for offending the geld prince with their ugliness, therefore I only used helmeted heads so that they do not risk being deemed imperfect and therefore killed.



"Yes Master! you are most handsome!"



After destroying a fireslayers army because they don't wear pants, Sigvald plundered all their urgold and The Decadent Host has melted the precious gold into a 1:1 flawless statue of Prince Sigvald the Magnificent himself, and fashioned it atop his personal War Shrine.



The shrine is carried into battle at the front of the lines so that all his foes know that Sigvald the Magnificent approaches! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOxcAMEBSmM

Either more warriors, a manticore, minotaurs, or maybe a warp lightning cannon because chaos has no range.
