Slowly I've been building an Alpha Legion army to play with after Covid at the new FLGS that opened last month. I'm still tweaking it as I build, but this is what I have. I'll mark anything I don't have with

Don't mix weapons on the terminators. It's best to just take something like combi-plas, or combi-flamers. So you don't have to worry about the mixed weapon profiles screwing you over. Normally, I just take combi-plas. The damage is a standard across the board and is a threat to the largest range of targets, all while helping you keep points for better options elsewhere. Same goes for their melee options as well. Just keep them with their power fist.
Besides, you're running them as mark of slaanesh, so you can already pop endless cacophony on them and capitalize on all of that shooting.

In normal circumstances I'd suggest keeping a special melee weapon on the champion, but his WS is no different, so there's no real reason to do so. Unless you plan on having him do some minor character hunting, there's no reason to actually arm him with something apart from the others.

I'd also suggest the missile launcher/autocannon for your other helbrute.
