Not that there is one, but what would it be, 5? Any fluff suggest anything. I thought 8 as the symbol of chaos undivided has 8 points. Khorne is already 8. Any suggestions?

Chaos Undivided has no favored number; the "symbol" you're referring to is the Chaos Star. Basicly, Chaos Undivided doesn't have a mentality behind it, unlike the Dark Gods, who make their wishes and proclivities known directly or indirectly. That which doesn't have a mind can't have something it favors, except in the most general terms.
Basicly, Chaos Undivided just does the Chaos, without all the mumbo-jumbo and special handshakes.

As a rule of thumb, the designers do not hide "easter eggs" in the rules. If clever reading is required to unlock some sort of hidden option, then it is most likely the result of wishful thinking.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake;
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Lots and lots. And lots.
That would be a good rule, actually. "If a unit bearing the Mark of Chaos Undivided has lots of members, it may upgrade one model to an Aspiring Champion for free."
It would be great fun to see that discussed in YMDC!

Let's see... A buttload is 8 A sh!tload is 16 A hellovalot is 32 And a scad is 64 (but you can only shake a stick at 48) So, I'd say "a lot" falls somewhere between 16 and 32...

666? Nah, too Christian.
Plus, buying a unit with 666 models in it isn't really worth it for the free champ. But in a 10,000 point game you could do it and have 10 points left over to buy the champ a power weapon! But then you couldn't afford a second troop choice and an HQ. So in a 20,047 point game you could do it. It's a good thing that Chaos legions aren't limited at 1000 like loyal chapters, because then you couldn't field a minimum Mark of the Beast chaos undivided army. Minimum army size- 1333 marines. I like it!

No, lots is definitely 42. 42 is always the answer.

Too bad the question is "What is 6 times 8?"...
