The Favoured Sons warband colour scheme
The Favoured Sons is a splinter warband of Plague Marines that has become independent of the Death Guard Traitor Legion's central command. Having broken away from Mortarion's rule, the Favoured Sons seek Nurgle's blessings for themselves. Each Heretic Astartes of this warband tries to outdo his brothers in the hope of earning Daemonhood. Their master, Vermithrus the Blighted, is a Daemon Prince who surrounds himself with gruesome champions of Nurgle.
Warband Appearance[]
Warband Colours[]
The Favoured Sons' power armour is the same as that of the Death Guard, composed of decayed and cracked plates of ceramite in grey with sickly green trim. The Favoured Sons' Chaos Space Marines, like those of the Death Guard, often wear grotesquely warped suits of antique Mark III Iron Power Armour.
Warband Badge[]
The Favoured Sons' warband badge is usually a modified version of the standard Mark of Nurgle, similar to that used by the Death Guard.
