Currently there is no Cyber Occularis model currently being made by FW. This little 15 point Magos add-on is a very powerful addition. It is basically a spotter that can radio back LOS data and more importantly confer the Magos' buffs to units he is not in range of. You need atlas one as minimum. I was going to play a small Con and had limited time to know one out. I didn't just want to put a marker on the table.
For planning this bad boy out I looked hard at the fluff. Basically these things "Jump", they count a Jump Infantry for movement, around the battle field. So I knew I wanted something with Jets. I also wanted tentacles for grabbing and hanging out in places. A quick google search showed most people are using cyber skulls. For me they are just too small.
What I ended up going with was a head from the Ruststalkers 40k kit as the body. Then I attached a servo skull from that kit coming out of the top and two guns from the rustler kit to represent the Cyber Occs laser. For Jets I used the vector jets from the Thallax kits and arms from the Scyllax kits. I also added in two rolled green stuff arms and bits from other kits to represent Mechanicum hands plugs.
I have included Unpainted construction images to assist you in seeing how I did this. I will be building a couple more in various posses. This one is clamped to a piece of angle iron protruding from the battlefield.
Let me know if you have any questions. This is a fun simple build that paints super quick and adds a ton of character to your army as it is a unique piece.
