Well there are Horus Heresy books which recount infighting within the Alpha's. Acting in a manner to weaken a Horus plan. Don't think this is in doubt. The Primarchs seems to be fairly content, all things being equal, in fighting the long war as they stupidly think that the Emperor wuld ultimately want it (couldn't have just asked could they...).

There are certainly reported instances of where the reported presence of AL elements have drawn Imperialist foces to the table, better placing them in a position to combat traitor forces. Almost like they purposes showed out to alert the IOM.The issues with this is assigning meaning.

a)infighting traitors, showning out to wipe out a rival chaos team.

b)showed out by accident, not everyone is perfect all the time.

c)showed out to draw IOM assests into the field to better combat traitor movements.

Are all cells operating to a unified plan? have all stuck to it?is it a case of 'noble cause corruption'? I think initially some were loyal even after the turn but now they are likly dead and gone. Of course in a murky world of covert ops, could there be some small cells acting to undermine chaos actions still? Sure, maybe.
