Lore Question: Does Tehenhauin sport a unique head shape?
Let me preface this by saying that I love that they chose this head design for him, he looks awesome and savage! But he does look pretty different from the other red crested skinks. On the tabletop his model seemed to have a regular skink head, as far as I can tell. He does have that kind of a head in the drawn art, but I've just assumed it's the way Skinks looked back in the day.

So, is Tehenhauin's unique head mentioned in the lore? Or is it an artistic choice based on the most iconic art pieces of him?

Sidenote: I didn't know ol' T had a forked tail! I like it, goes well with his lore! I hadn't looked at his models before, and when I've been reading on the lore the artwork depicts him from the front and sometimes the lower body cut off, so the tail wasn't visible or obvious. My mind was slightly blown when I noticed, not doomsphere blown but maybe doomrocket blown.

This is what I thought, was just curious if there was a mention in the lore as well despite me not remembering any.

It seems like a mix between a skink and a saurus head shape. Makes him look a lot cooler

You can see him mixed in with other skinks for comparison in the bottom right.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Thanks for the pick, lots of detail to admire there!

EDIT: Looking at his model again, I noticed that he has a bit of a Kroxigor vibe going on in his right arm. Is CA maybe hinting at him being a skink with attributes from the other Lizardmen species as well? Would be a pretty cool idea.

Doubt it since that wasn't a thing in the lore and he's the thoughest out of the though Red-Crested Skinks.
