The Night Lords & the Alpha Legion are the most interesting of the chaos legions by far, largely because neither legion is beholden to the chaos gods. While individual Marines end up serving one of the gods & a few even become demons neither legion as a whole serves chaos, though for different reasons.

The Alpha Legion is an enigma & them not serving chaos comes from Alpharius/Omegon as a matter of policy as the Alpha primarch/s have their own agenda separate from that of chaos. The Night Lords on the other hand hold chaos & those who serve it in contempt, an attitude they got from Curze himself. The only reason they, as a group, help out Abbadon & co is because the Night Lords contempt for chaos is only bettered by their hatred for the empire.
