If a Warrior of Chaos is favoured by one Chaos God over all others, the symbol of his patron may appear prominently on his body, often on his forehead. Some marks take an even more extreme form, such as horns in the shape of the mark or a glowing halo above his head. Warriors marked by the same god often march together in the name of their divine patron.[1a]
