White Dwarf 122 (Feb 1990), p70 — Symbols of the Great Power Nurgle

Followers of Nurgle, be they Champions of the Warhammer World or spacefaring Champions who lead the Chaos Renegades throughout the galaxy, favour certain materials with which to decorate their banners. Thus many of these banners, and for that matter the shoulder badges and icons of the Chaos Renegades, gleam with yellow pus, bile green, and several rich brown colours of doubtful origin.

• Centre: battle Banner of Mortarion, Primarch of the Death Guard Space Marines. The Banner is kept enshrined on the world of Mortarius in the Eye of Terror, and is removed and carried into battle when the Death Guard go to war.
• Left: the Banner of Chaos Champion Pestulus depicting the blood sucking flea which characterises his own mutation - the head of a fearsome blood-devouring insect.
• Right: typical of the declaiming banners carried by the Champions of Nurgle is this, listing in no uncertain terms the avowed aims of its bearer.
• Below: three shields depicting variations of Nurgle's own symbol, the tripartite fly.
• Bottom: shoulder pads of the Death Guard with more variations of the tripartite fly.
