Tzaangor are [[Warhammer Fantasy]], [[Warhammer 40000]], or [[Age of Sigmar]] variants of [[Beastmen]] Gors (meaning average-sized Beastmen of stable mutation) who either by birth mutation or blessing are dedicated wholly to [[Tzeentch]]. 

==Lore==
===WFB===
The most ignored of the Beastmen god-devoted in terms of actually being represented, since at least Slaangors were a popular idea among <strike?[[Furries]]</strike> the deviants in the fanbase. They pretty much just fucking existed, getting pretty much no representation or mention throughout WFB history after they were first introduced; after all, complexity was a thing for the Broo that GW ripped off, and GW Beastmen are pretty much just evil slaughterers, rapists, and gross feces-smearing civilization haters. Tzeentch's hat (as in the "Planet Of Hats" trope) of being layers of mastermind schemes which produce even more chaos than disorganized Chaos ever could is more a thing for main characters who get things like their own stories full of irony and tragedy. Beastmen in most of WFB were just mooks, the stars of short stories at the very best and almost never individual characters or companies of characters. 

===40k===
Beastmen mutations are not automatically Chaos in 40k, but at the same time Beastmen aren't a dominant and uncontrollable force so most Tzaangor are just considered Chaos Mutants and lumped in with human Cultists. Way back in the day, when Chapters were first being created and released, each one would get a list of how many Beastmen slaves they had access to; obviously any Chapter of [[Chaos Space Marines]] that was devoted to Tzeentch had Tzaangors. 

After suddenly getting models in AoS (see below), they've taken the leap to 40k too however. They share the same lore for the models, even if the AoS ones get starring roles in stories now. 

===AoS===
Tzeentch took over from [[Khorne]] and [[Nurgle]] after End Times as the driver of the Chaos bus early on in AoS history, and Tzaangor got more releases than they did even in the days of fucking Oldhammer, being the stars of entire supplements and waves of releases. They're literally an army all their own now, with a kit of basic soldiers, a kit of elite flyers who can be built two ways, a monster, and a hero character. It cannot be stressed enough how unexpected this was, and fans of Tzeentch as well as fans of Beastmen that aren't dedicated fans of the other three gods or Undivided were fucking thrilled. 

* '''[[Tzaangor Shaman]]
Beastmen tend to be the ugly red-headed stepchildren of Chaos, but daddy Tzeentch loves his Shamans. Born especially gifted in magic and given a [[Disc Of Tzeentch]] of their own, they are appointed leaders of Tzaangors and by instinct and guidance have powers of magic/psyker bullshit that few humans will ever possess. In particular, they have the ability to forcibly change any member of other races into Tzaangors, a power that previously only applied to children in the womb and farm animals (not counting [[Skaven]], who could pull that bullshit off just as well with enough [[Warpstone|magic cocaine]] and a giant bell). 

* '''[[Tzaangor Enlightened]]'''
The less special version of Shamans. Both are marked by elaborate horns, plumage, and being given fancy magic staffs and Discs Of Tzeentch, but while the Shamans can see into the future, Enlightened are blessed with the ability to see into the past (its more impressive than it sounds, these fucks know the moment you had some doubt or someone else had doubt in you/your mission, any mistake you've made, or any betrayal/sacrifice your superiors didn't want you to know about). 

* '''[[Tzaangor Skyfires]]'''
Also like Shamans and Enlightened, but Tzeentch gave them magic bows/arrows and their ability to see the future is more immediate which gives them better accuracy with said arrows. 

* '''Tzaangors'''
Your standard troops. No real special gear, just standard sword/board troops. Whether by birth or mutation by a Shaman, the Tzaangor soldiers are ones that have accepted their fate and not only open themselves up to Tzeentch to be mutated into forms he desires, but actively seek to earn further mutations and rise in rank among the Tzaangor forces. 

* '''[[Ogroid Thaumaturges]]'''
Despite the implications of the name, its not clear if Thaumaturges are actually [[Ogre Kingdoms|Ogres]] or not. They have the appearance suggesting they're a kind of Tzeentchian Minotaur including hooves, horns, and a tail, only with a face more resembling that of <strike>Blanka from Street Fighter</strike> a mortal or [[Daemon Prince]]. Regardless, they behave exactly how you would assume a Tzeentch Minotaur to act, utilizing prodigous strength to tear foes limb from limb, have a reference to being able to tear apart a good-aligned McGuffin armor, and are wizards who shoot fire and shit. 

==Crunch==
===WFB===
For most of WFB history they didn't really have their own stats, and existed as models (until they were squatted and replaced with generics for all varieties) that represented what Marks your forces had. Variety was gutted when Chaos was split into three armies as Beastmen lost access to Marks, meaning they were a thing in fluff only.
