All in the title here. I think either Space Marines (because I think drop-pods are pretty Alpha-Legion-y and it would be allied with some flavor of guard to get large amounts of 'cultists') or Chaos Space Marines because they are a force of chaos and it includes some heresy-era type stuff and cultists.

I don't care for winning games, I just want to have them represented in some fashion, right now I'm swaying ever so slightly towards Space Marines.

CSM with dreadclaws. Some cultists or maybe renegades from IA 13

You are probably better off with regular marines and some storm trooper allies to represent their highly trained operatives. The regular chaos codex doesn't really do them justice at all except for the cultist thing.

I would suggest the regular marine codex, with either guard or storm trooper allies

Mobs of cultists. Do not use any space marines

Use any Imperial codex you want, and as many of them as you want at the same time. At the end of every game, reveal one of the surviving models as Alpharius.
