Mark of Chaos Ascendant?; Custom Dice?

Hi everyone, its my first post and what will hopefully be my first step towards creating a Chaos army. In 40K I had no trouble whatsoever in finding the "me" army (tyranids). However, in fantasy it has been quite a hard thing to find. So after building, playing, and selling off my Ogre Kingdoms, Wood elves, and Lizardmen armies, I believe I may have found what I am looking for in chaos.

It isn't the fact that the majority of chaos armies are absolutely monstrous in close combat, or because we are able to take powerful spells or cool daemons.

Its the fact that its Chaos. The Random, the Fortune, the luck of it all.

I recently came across a small company that offers "custom jobs" on dice, specifically they'd be able to etch any sort of icon or picture onto the sides. I've seen "jigsaw paintings" made out of several dozen of these dice. That is when an idea started to spin inside my head. What if I built a few small armies, around a specific chaos god, and then rolled a custom dice to determine just what army I'd use for that battle? It fits chaos perfectly, even I wouldn't know what would happen! The sheer thrill of being able to beat someone simply by working with what is dealt to you is something I won't get enough of.

There is only one little problem. I have all the sides figured out, I'm just lacking a picture for one particular force I'd like.

sides 1-4 would have the symbol of Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh, respectively. So when I roll and one of these symbols comes up, I'd use an army dedicated to the god that was rolled. Simple.

Side 5 would bear the mark of Chaos undivided, so if the Star is rolled I would jsut use whatever undivided list I'd have written up.

Side 6 would have the mark of Chaos Ascendant(mentioned only in 40K to my knowledge), which would allow me the privilege of picking a force from the other 5 sides myself.

I have a good picture of each symbol, except for the Chaos Ascendant. From what I'm told, it is just a symbol of Chaos undivided, with the marks of the 4 Greater Gods arrayed inside. But I still need a good picture of it!

Would anyone be willing to help me out? Hey, maybe you guys could draw me your interpretations of the Mark of Chaos ascendant?

Why dont you just photoshop each of the 4 gods symbols as a smaller icon on four points of the chaos star?

How about the symbol on the banner of Archaon. It's picture is in the storm of chaos book and if I am right it has the marks of all the gods in it.

Here it is:

that's perfect! OK, so it's in the Storm of chaos book? There's no chance someone could get me a scan of this picture is there? The closest GW is an hour away from where I live, so I may not be able to get the book so easily. Of course, if scanning iss not allowed then I'll understand.

Nice! It even has the gods aligned properly: Slannesh opposite Khorne, Tzeentch opposite Nurgle.

thank you very much, your efforts are appreciated.

I'll keep waiting until Chaos gets updated....but in the mean time, I'll keep those pictures around until that happens.

EDIT: The company requires a clear, ucluttered and unfolded picture, so now none of the images I have are compatible. I'm going to go and look for the other 5 symbols I need, if I need any hlep finding one or two, I'll give a shout in this thread.

alright, I should be able to place the order for the dice within the week. However, I have not been able to get my hands on the Mark of Chaos ascendant from the Storm of Chaos book(no-one in my area has it)

would now be a good time to ask for that scan, aekold?
