Sigil of the Dark Master? Be'lakors mark?

[Noctem Cultor]

So I have 2000pts+ of Daemons almost all to tabletop standard (just last touches to 10 pink horrors) and they are Legion of the 1st Prince undivided.

 

As my intention was to set up a force I could always have to use for 40k or sigmar I read the Broken realms book and it mentioned those that serve under him willing or unwillingly bore "The Sigil of the Dark Master".

 

I cant find any Sigil or mark for Be'lakor40k or Sigmar, the "Be'lakor coin" was just the undivided logo but I was hoping for a mark I could paint on to tie the army together.

 

Any ideas?

Be'lakor's servants in Warhammer fantasy used to have a spirals thing going on

But that was mostly just due to the Druid theme of that campaign since his other servants from a few centuries earlier didn't have any of that.

Oh cool, yeah thats a Albion thing but it's lore I didnt know before and cool lore at that. Thanks.

 

At the moment I was thinking of using some thing like the Brand of sacrifice from the Berzerk series if I cant find anything official but I hold out hope someone knows of a sigil/mark.

Be'lakors mark is pretty much the symbol of chaos undivided. It might look a little different, but after reading the lore in the Book of Fire I'm fairly certain he uses the symbol of chaos undivided as his own.

 

The reasoning for this is the altar and ritual which they used to summon him. It was an altar with a humanoid figure that absorbed light surrounded by 4 braizers, each aligned to a god. The altar had 8 rings around it that had blood channels running back to the main altar.

 

If you would want one that relates specifically to Be'lakor, I would say a silver chaos star on a field of black. As that would match the ritual scene. The blood channels were silver while the floor was black marble.

Thats the closest so far I've heard to a mark tied to him, maybe the coins version was his mark.

Seems a little impersonal though which is a shame.

There's no history for the chaos star in either setting so since he has one on his chest that might just be his mark that everyone else adopted their own variants of.

Reading a bit more from the book of fire they go into how the Chaos Gods give a piece of themselves to their Daemon Princes, how each allegiance of prince is then bound by said piece to act a certain way. Khorne Princes always desire war and carnage, Nurgle Princes are cultivators and vectors of disease and filth, and so on.

 

Be'lakor is their pride, their combined might and power, the whispers of corruption in the dark so to say made manifest.

 

So it makes sense he would take the mark of Chaos Undivided and make it his own if not being the origin of said mark, for he is Chaos Undivided made manifest.

 

Also he now rules the home planet of House Raven, Kolios, after he pulled it into the warp. And has his own house of Chaos Knights made from the corrupted survivors.
