Others view Chaos Undivided as a unified whole, the various powers as actually an aspect of one god. They may give their service to one god but are likely to never gain much favour with an individual power.
Finally, others seek to use Chaos as a means to get to their own ends. This is often risky and only two outcomes exist, daemonhood or damnation.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
===Mark of Khorne===

An individual bearing the '''Mark of Khorne''' is imbued with a portion of his patron's battle rage - he becomes even more ferocious in close combat and loses all sense of fear or self-restraint. Khornate warriors tend to eshew ranged combat in favour of slaughtering foes at close quarters with axes and blades. Often the skull rune of Khorne is branded or otherwise etched on the bearer's flesh. Amongst the most feared bearers of this mark are the [[Berserker]]s of the [[World Eaters]].<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
===Mark of Slaanesh===

The '''Mark of Slaanesh''' is a mark that drives the bearer to fulfill Slaanesh's undying hunger for pleasure. The bearer is addicted to seeking out new pleasures and are often cloaked in a supernatural glamour to disturb their adversaries. Many bearers of the mark gain the ability to emity a piercing scream that disorientates their foes. Amongst the most revered bearers of this mark are the [[Noise Marines]] of the [[Emperor's Children]].<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
===Mark of Nurgle===

The '''Mark of Nurgle''' is given to Nurgle's greatest followers and they become a living host to the powers of death and decay. Those with the Mark become bloated with pestilence, their rotting flesh makes them near immune to pain and extremely difficult to kill. One of the most common bearers of this mark are the [[Plague Marines]] of the [[Death Guard]]<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
===Mark of Tzeentch===
