    I do all the time. My whole chaos army is built out of loyalist marine bits, almost exclusively.

    What matters is that they generally have the right weapons. Guys with bolters should have bolters. Guys with meltas should have meltas. Etc.

    again as long as your opponent agrees it should be perfectly fine, however I am not sure how well it will fare
    Tales from Original WFRP. My Troll-Slayer would be a terror with his axe, then my friend's Tax-Collector would hit the foul beasty with his cane and usually get the killing blow.

    as long as your opponent agrees you can do almost anything that is the beauty of the game

    just say they are a chapter recently fallen to chaos and not yet had time to add spikes and chaos sigils to their armour perhaps they are on a trophy hunt each game and add bits of your opponents force to your army until they have a more chaos feel

    have fun with it

    Yes. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) doesn't apply to sigils, spikes, and banner decorations. Only to weapons and wargear.

    Go nuts, I say. Go nuts.
    Ask about painting commissions and more!

    As I recall some of the older fluff stated that the Alpha Legion has posed as loyalist marines. This is probably easier to argue if your marines are painted blue or some other colour close to the Alpha Legion colours and makes more sense if you're not using anything overtly chaotic like daemon princes or obliterators.

    And if you read some of the Horus Heresy stuff, individual Alpha Legionnaires have even infiltrated other legions and so possibly chapters.

    I've started using forgeworld plague toads as beasts of nurgle, since they are actually cheaper, lol.
