Here's the first army list in years that I'm actually planning on building.  I want to get into Cities of Death later this summer, and I like the Alphas' fluff even if I couldn't figure out how to use cultists in a list this small.  This isn't a cityfighting army, just normal terrain.

Everyone has the Mark of Chaos Undivided

Lt.
power weapon, bolt pistol, frags, infiltrate
daemonic flight, strength, aura

6 marines, lascannon & plasma gun

6 marines, lascannon & plasma gun

8 marines, infiltrate, 2 plasma guns, champ with powerfist

6 havocs, infiltrate, 3 heavy bolters

8 raptors, infiltrate, flamer, champ w/ powerfist

 

It seems like there's firepower but it's a little fragile.  I'm not convinced about the raptors, but I bought some models anyway.  Should I just put the Lieutenant on a bike and not worry about a fast moving squad to support him?  I could grab another las/plas and a second infiltrating plasma unit for what the raptors cost, but then the list seems kinda slow.

I don't know if it's bad form to respond to my own post, but I tweaked the list when I was on vacation this week and it has almost everything I wanted to fit in the first one. Except 22 point jump packers, but those dudes aren't in the chaos codex.
