Can't go wrong with Nurgle.

Agreed.
I'd add a 6th body before MoN.

Nurgle is good if you really want a Mark, but I agree with BewareOfTom, VotLW is cheap and it helps.
Also hiding behind an Aegis Defense line couldn't hurt either.

If somebody faces ALOT of helldrakes, maybe, MAYBE the Mark of Tzeentch could possibly have some use. I don't do it, but I don't face a lot of helldrakes. Food for thought.

If you have a Skyshield Landing Pad, then Mark of Tzeentch is golden. If not, then VotLW on a squad with extra bodies is good. If you have max bodies and want more durability (or to fit a theme) take Mark of Nurgle.

Comparing MoN vs MoT vs nothing, we see that six hits will kill
5 unmarked marines
4 nurgle marines
4.2 MoT marines.

Pretty close

Edit : I realize I didn't say this was against a Baledrake.

The biggest benefit to Havocs is how cheap they are. Loading on marks, etc. takes that away, so I'd run them bare bones with their 4 weapons.

No marks for havocs. They should be sitting back in cover. If an opponent is going to dedicate any serious firepower towards the squad, then they'll usually evaporate. If they don't, you lose a few bullet catchers and get to fire your heavy weapons. I try to keep things cheap and cheerful with the new Chaos Dex. You can get a lot of bodies out there if you don't go marking random units that don't really need them.

This. They simply shouldn't run away.

Definitely Tzeentch if you have a Skyshield Landing Pad. But still go Nurgle for Oblits with that.

But if no Pad, then Nurgle is nice, but I agree that VOLTW is great for the points.

Also, 8 Khorne Havocs w maybe 4 melta guns in a Land Raider with a Khorne Axe Terminator Lord would be pretty fun. Or can Havocs not get a CCW? I can't remember.
