The subject says it all.

Daemon Engines of all flavours, but then you already knew that.

You need something to represent the mortal/cyborg/possessed footsoldiers. I'm not sure what would be best here. A big part of me wants to say "make badass Warp-cyborg versions of the Skitarii, and then just use the rules for CSM", but that feels kind of blunt...

Obliterators, lots of tanks, cultists with some tech heavy conversions, etc.

For the elite slots should i use mutilators, Terminators or helbrutes?

Terminators if you want something that will actually survive, or if you want something that opens up for lots of conversions then go with the hellbrute

Should i take mutilators at all or should i get termies and helbrutes only?

I'm pretty sure the answer to "Should I take Mutilators?" is going to be no in any situation.

Take typus...wait! Hear me out.

But model him as a Techmagos, the main reason you are taking him is because of zombies. Insted of normal cultisit it would make more sense to play zombies as servitors.Feel no pain and fearlessness also makes sense of labotimized meat sacks.

Also the Destroyer Hive thing I always felt could represent a heretek venting his superheated coolant from his overworked potentia coil over his enemies.

lol

Thousand Sons with their 4+ invulnerable could represent Techpriest/Marine metal parts being hit instead of the vulnerable fleshy bits.
Obviously, you'll need a Warpsmith as your HQ.

I was thinking plague marines or (even better) Noise Marines too, because:

FNP (both) - Skitarii quite literally feel no pain!

Plague knives / blight grenades (for PMs) = Advanced combat cybernetics / flashbang-style stun grenades

Blastmasters or sonic weapons in general (for NMs) = graviton weapons (ignores cover!) or some sort of fancy dancy radiation cleansers.

I was also planning as making my cultist look like they were slaves forced to work the pulluted, toxic factories, arming them with welders, masks, oxygen tanks and degeneration coused by pullution.

Personally, I would take Brutes over Terminators, since you will have at least one Warpsmith to repair them.

Maybe Daemon allies? Blooletters or Plaguebearers might look neat (with some bionic parts) as Doom-style Cyberdemons. Plus, Soulgrinder!
