Over- If anything, Cypher Lord's looks more Slaanesh than Unmade, which looks more Flesheater's Court. Why they made it look Tzeentch is anyone's guess. And for that matter, why'd they make them look that way when they said the bands would be from the minor gods?

Well according to the article:
The Cypher Lords are the perfect warband for players that like the seductive, almost civilised side of Chaos – the esoteric cults and shadowy gatherings of nobles within cities all across the realms, as opposed to the unwashed, screaming barbarian masses outside them.
So if you're looking for slaanesh mortal's to use/convert I think these guys will be it. I do agree with you they look far more Slaanesh than Unmade. Also all the warbands are unaligned technically, thing is though Slaanesh has no mortal units.

Least fav warband, think without the helmets they’d look better.
With that said, they are growing on me as I picture heads from a few other kits in place of their helms...
Yeah, Idoneth Akhelian Ishlaen Guard heads on these guys might do the trick.

Worth adding the pic, since it shows off one or two unpreviewed models.
I dunno. The bodies look a bit thick, like Silver Tower Alcoytes. They seem a bit too similar to Deepkin, which I guess works, since Teclis created the ID. Still better than the snake cultist, imo, and I'd probably pick them up as either human followers of the deepkin, or even Seraphon. (possibly tomb king too, with the similar head dresses.) Honestly, my biggest complaint are the massive ponytails, and even then, it's not like it'll be difficult to cut off.

The pseudo Egyptian elements have been part of Light magic since the first college of magic specific wizards, it's not super weird that they carried that in to the denizens of the realm of light.

At last a warband on which Slaanesh may smile upon...
I kind like the helmet, but the crest will have to go.
Or may-be another set of heads altogether.
But these bodies are serviceable.

Yep, these will get me into this game. I like the aesthetic of the Cypher Lords, but I may have to trim those helmets. Too grandiose for the common soldiers, but good for the upper eschalon.

I agree on the headgear, more Tzeenchian than anything in style.
So it will have to go if I ever buy them.
I feel they may be expensive for conversion fodder.
These are still more Slaaneshy than any other warband
in my book.
At first the I liked snakes, untill I looked at the priest dude...

The helms on the Splintered Fang match the one worn by the old Lord of Slaanesh, not to mention the fact that he's riding a giant snake-thing.

Well, both are using pseudo-Egyptian elements. Though the crests help too.
Honestly I kind of like these (probably the one of more interesting, alongside the serpent fangs), but they really look like some bad Wuxia films had some babies with the horrible Scorpion king film (and the terrible 'historic' flashback elements of the Mummy 1 and 2)

I do agree, Greek style helmet and I like the scale armor also.
They were my first choice.
A basic infantry unit for Slaanesh mortals on this basis
(but with boots/shoes/armored legs/anything but bare foots> Slaanesh is looking!)
would have my vote, with "elite" having more elements from the Helltrider armor.
Well one could still hope for proper Slaanesh mortals one day...

I predict those helmets and plumes ending up on all sorts of other models. Those have a lot of cool conversion potential. It'll be interesting to see if the boxes end up having alternate color schemes. I feel these guys could be taken to some interesting places if you get creative with the colors.
I'm liking the straight- up Kung Fu poses too.
I may end up using these as stand in Torakage for Malifaux.
Poorly lit photos of my ever- growing collection of completely unrelated models!
Urgh. I dig the helmet on the leader, but on people who have to move and fight the helmets just look silly. Between these guys and the Khorne Bloodwarriors it would look like a Rio De Janeiro carnival parade.

Less savage tribe and more "civilised" cult makes for an interesting change. Visually I'm getting something of a Graeco-Roman and Aztec vibe from them.
I wonder if this Nochseed is an Order or Chaos city?

The headgear is a bit overdesigned even for GW. I'll likely get them, they have the archetypes I enjoy although the execution leaves something to be desired.
Corvus Cabal looks to be the best of the shown.

Yeah to me they almost seem like natives of Prospero, if that was a true high fantasy setting. They are a bit over the top though, along with most of the AoS line. Part of me prefers the days when GW put out stuff like empire halberdiers, stuff a bit more reserved and grounded. I just have no suspension of disbelief in the AoS universe.
