Do you guys think that you should clearly represent a mark on a model? I get that WYSIWYG, but what do you think about marks? So could i play a marine painted like a red corsair marked with Nurgle one game, only to play him with a khorne mark the next? Or do you think it should be clear and you should play each marine with one mark for all games?

Just aslong you can differ from squads and make your opoment sure wich is wich go ahead i see this being done with undivided armies all the time a good thing to have is a marker beside the unit like a green dice for nurgle red for khorne etc

Heresy! Marks should be represented thematically and not cause confusion. Mix an matching is ridiculous. I also do it all the time, but just dont tell anyone and they wont notice.

Well yeah... That's sort of the point!

Heres a trick :" magnetised or pinned back banners with god icons. Easy

I always figured it was similar to whether or not you bought grenades for your sergeant or whatever. Sometimes you have the points for it and sometimes you don't. I have no problem with facing someone who just tells me what is in each unit before the game.
However, for chaos marks specifically I would have trouble remembering that an enemy model had a Mark of Khorne if it was obviously modeled as a boil-ridden, pus-filled Nurgle pile of gross.
