So, as the title says, i am working on an Alpha Legion Army from the heresy Era, or just before. I want to be able to distinguish my unit, specifically between unmarked units, and followers of specific gods. My plan so far is that:

Unmarked Troops will wear Mk V Heresy armor, and be more or less uniform in appearance
Followers of Nurgle will wear Mk II armor and have lots of rust and or oil on them
Followers of Khorne will be in Mk IV armor and have lots of blood effects

Now, I am stuck on ideas for both Tzeench and Slaanesh, that fits within the same sort of way of marking these units. (was thinking MK III for Tzeench, with glowing bolter rounds on thousand sons?)

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

slaanesh followers are big on bright colors, so you could maybe go that route or make them really ornate and shiny, etc.

tzeench is a tricky one. as the god of change, mutations would be an obvious choice but I'm not sure how well that matches your heresy era. you could try putting very subtle tzeench "eye" icons somewhere on each model. small one on a leg here, small one on the back of a hand there, etc. might be tough to keep it from competing with the legion iconography, though.
