I think I finally settled on my Tournament list for my Alpha Legion.  It's even goes with the Alpha Legion background.

(Everything has Mark of Chaos Undivided)

Lord (Furious Charge, Infiltrate, Frags, Spikey bits, Bolt Pistol, Darkblade, Resilience, Speed, Strength, Mutation, Aura)

Lt (Furious Charge, Infiltrate, Frag/Krak, Bolt Pistol/Power Weapon, Resilience, Speed, Strength)

8 Man CSM Squad (Las/Plas, AC w/ Bolt Pistol/Power Fist)

2x8 Man CSM Squads (Infiltrate, Las/Plas, AC w/ Bolt Pistol/Power Fist)

8 Man Havok Squad (Infiltrate, Tank Hunters, 2 AC, 2 ML, AC w/Bolt Pistol/Power Fist)

8 Man Havok Squad (Infiltrate, 4 Heavy Bolters)

6 man Raport Squad (Infiltrate, Furious Charge.  Plasma Pistol, AC w/ Bolt Pistol/Power Weapon, Daemonic Strength)

2 Obliterators

1 Defiler w/Indirect

I'd drop the havocs with Heavy Bolters, the Obliterators, and the Defiler and get another squad of Raptors and some cultists.

Of course this is coming from someone who veiws theme MUCH higher then efficiency and it is a tournie so do what you want. Your list looks effective and if you're not so much into the theme, it's a great list and should do well. Although I do suggest dropping the Obliterators and some equipment on your lord and LT and getting a Chaos marine squad with melta guns and suited for Close combat.

Bolter

Ummm...Not only is that illegal, but it totally violates the the background of the Alpha Legion. (The first idea at least).

So why is my list not congruant with the Alpha Legion background?

Whoops my bad. I forgot Raptors were restricted a bit.

First fo all, it states pretty clearly that Alpha legion are all about cultists. Your army has no cultists. It also says they use infiltrating tactics, I don't really see how you could infiltrate and opperate in secret when your army is filled with things like Defilers and Obliterators.

Bolter

I'll agree wih IGOT's point about the Defiler.

That doesn't seem like an Alpha Legion way to go to me.

But, that isn't what we're really after here, right?

I didn't used to think Oblits/Defilers belonged in Alpha Legion either, but I read up on them.

One of the tactical doctrines of Alpha Legion is to attack from as many directions as possible in as many different ways.

Defilers and Oblits fit this doctrine to a key.

Defilers and Obliterators seem a bit too "chaosy" for me, and my view of the Alpha Legion.

But, to each his own!

After all, its all "For the Emperor!"
