Hello and thanks for looking.
I just bought a bastion for my csm.The question is which theme to shoot for.
I have a large army of black legion, and a medium sized army of Death Guard/Plague Marines. ( white green as well as flu snot green) which I use in the same list.
The units manning the bastion would most likely be black legion havocs.

I see 2 different themes in my head. One The baleful white tower of nurgle, Second The Iron bastion of the Black Legion.
The White tower would be a creepy parchment white with green borders and plenty of rust effects.
The Iron Bastion would be black,silver and gold with a single large red chaos mark (8 pointed arrows connected within a circle) along 2 sides of the bastion.

If enough people vote to sway my opinion,I will take the popular advice,take pictures and post them here within a month.

Update: Finished with the main tower, testing pictures.

Black, Silver and Gold have been done to death. You want to stand out on the battlefield. Go with the putrid white of a decaying corpse!

Go for both. Paint the upper half in Black Legion colours and the lower half as though the taint of Nurgle is seeping up from the ground and corrupting the bastion.
