Even when a WK (or Tide) is your Warlord, he's not an HQ.
Wraithseer, though... Not gonna kill a lot each round, but the Cultists literally cannot hurt it (t8).

Aun'Shi from the Tau Empire Codex. He is their only CC (besides Commander Farsigh), but I think he could do it. He could throw grenades, use his 4++ (re-rollable) and slice folks at I5 S5. Plus, since there isn't an AP value, the Cultists have a chance! In fact, I have a buddy who plays chaos - we might try this.....

Company command squad.
All flamers OR all CC weapons and pistols. 1 medic. Nork Deddog. All advisers. All full upgrades (even useless ones) led by ironhand straken.
Just stand there trying to hit the unit with the officer of ordinance and shooting of telepathy primaris powers and then try close in for the charge and try eat the rest. Nork and ironhand should do a fair amount of damage along with the flamers.
Unless the squad counts as body guard. Then its lame and I dont have any units in my army capable.

Though completely situational, it is hilarious pairing Trazyn with Deathmarks when facing down a horde.

"Get BACK here worms! You belong in the meat pen!"
A Black Legion Lord with The Eye of Night could pie-plate them. Then run away cackling.
Shadow Captain Shrike was BUILT for scenarios like this! Hide in the shadows and rip them apart, etc.
The Emperor's Champion would gloriously challenge the horde's leader to single combat and best them... Before drowning in bodies because he didn't think this through.
An Ork Warboss with a 'Uge Choppa and Da Dead Shiny Shoota would actually be pretty fun to play with against this kind of horde. Just run around firing off six shots a turn until they're thin enough fer a krumpin!
With Chaos Sorcerors:
A Slaanesh Sorceror with Ecstatic Seizures. Watch as the problem solves itself!
If this was an older codex, we could also use the Boon of Mutation power to Spawn-ify them one at a time. It would be interesting to see the cultists slowly tear each other apart.
Another one would be to take a level 3 chaos Sorceror with the Prophet of the Voices relic to make him a Daemon. Then repeatedly summon daemons to raise your own army to fight against them! And then sacrifice him to make a greater Daemon...
The Hallucination power is another one that would be interesting to use. You could also use Terrify to just scare them all off the board.

If default warlord traits are allowed, she has something stupid like 11-12~ attacks on the charge, all hitting on 3's, wounding on 4's, re-rolls for both, all ignoring armour saves. To top that, she only gets hit on 5's, has a 3+ invulnerable save, and I'm pretty sure Hit and Run. So every time she hits a Cultist unit, she'll probably wipe it, if not outright in melee, with the morale test and the fact there'll be a "dead pile gap" so large noone, or very few models will probably be able to attack back, even with pile ins.
They'd auto-gun her to death.

 "Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Well, if I just wanted to win, then there's literally only one answer: Pask. He and the three leman russes in his squad cannot be harmed by the cultists in any way, and can take up to 12 Ap4 cover-ignoring weapons.
If I wanted to give the cultists a somewhat more sporting chance, I guess a slaanesh lord with a mace, combi-bolter, etc. on a steed.

Dude will wreck them in close combat and they are gonna be hurting on the way in for that first charge

Furioso librarian with pyromancy or sanguinary. Rolling blood boil would be fun. The furioso canny be hurt and if anything all I need to do is get a wound which isn't hard if rolling sanguinary for the extra attacks. Otherwise smash facer can hits on sixes and then wounds on sixes again and then I have if I want to for a junk and a 2+ armor save. even if you wound me I have it will not die. For war gear the relic chainsword for rampage. also like half your guys won't be in combat range anyway. And I need to cause at Lear four wounds and then in sweeping you.

Do onlookers to a challenge get to swing? If they do it could go very badly for any I1 character, as the Cultist Squad has a Champion by default, who must challenge, and being on their own, any HQ will have to accept, and then all the cultists will get a free round of attacks.
Best answer is a Black Mace Level 3 Daemon Prince with Nurgle Powers to try and get those AoE powers, and the Black Mace just slaughters everything.

There is absolutely no point in any other character contending for its points. Tryzan is the hands down winner against a cultist blob AS LONG as he's in a squad that takes the hits due to his I2.

Ah yes, good point. However in a game, there is no better model to clear tarpitting cultists in assault now BA blood talons have been nerfed.
Would have to go for Bray'arth Ashmantle as Wildkarrde suggests (also another great first post). I've always wanted to use the salamander dread HQ. He looks like he is actually worth the cost of a Landraider.
