When I repaint my CSM this summer, I want to add more little details other than flayed skin and trophies everywhere. When I paint text on everything, I will want some symbols to stand out a little. Is there a cannon source for what colchisian runes look like, or even sets of glyphs used by chaos devotees somewhere?

In this sketch of Erebus, they look much like medieval alchemist symbols.

Ooh, what's the source on that please?

If I remember right it's from one of the old WHFB Chaos books

The Word Bearers stuff by Forge World might be useful, the Contemptor Dreadnought especially.

Thanks for the responses! I love the chaos runes and I will look into medieval alchemy more now. I will also have to look for higher res pics of the WB FW stuff too, since they have a unique aesthetic even compared to other chaos warbands.

Take a look at the new Word Bearers transfer sheet from forge world, it has Colchisian runes on it.

Colschian stuff is primarily Greek in appearance.
