Now I'm aware that many (most?) chaos warbands are Undivided, worshiping all chaos gods or worshiping chaos as its own force. There are also plenty of "cult" warbands, only worshiping a single god. Are there any canonical examples of a chaos warband worshiping two or three gods but excluding the others? Or, if you have a homebrew warband that does this, how do you deal with it fluff-wise? Do they hold all of these gods to be equal? Do they favor one over the other(s)?

I have a Chaos Warband for a skirmish project based in the Calixis sector. The warband is Alpha Legion, specifically... sort of.

The leader is one of "The Severed", and he's cultivated his own small warband. Essentially, the goal is to create a larger warband- an army. His reasoning is that he needs a diverse set of skills, and cult troops like Tzeentch sorcerors, Plaguemarines, Noise Marines, and Berserkers- or any other follower of a chaos god- have their own perspectives and solutions to problems- and there's no reason to have only ONE solution. Also, they are all suited to different tasks and offer insight on the workings of cults, other warbands, daemons, organizations, etc.

I don't know if there are any specific examples, but I have thought about this as well. Like, could there be a prince created by Khorne and Nurgle but with no ties to Tzeentch and Slaanesh?
