I decided to go with a Brigade Detachment because it looked like I could easily afford it with what I already had.
But I'm not really shure 60 cultist is usefull. (I would need to buy/convert 20 more)
I also had concidered having a Renegade and heretics Battalion Detachement and all my Red Corsair stuff in diffferent detachments, but I'm not really convinced the few points I gain from doing it are worth loosing my legion trait on melee cultists.

Thanks a lot for reading !
