I'm going to assume the Apostle is going with the CCW marines or the possessed, take one marine out so he can fit in the rhino. Combi melta on the lord is a waste since the deep strike is 9', not 6' grab combi-plas instead. Then I'd drop the havoc on the rhino and grab the second combi bolter instead, it's not a loss when you decide to pop-smoke or advance. If the cultists are being used as backline objective holders and deep strike denial then I'd drop the flames and split it into 2 units of 10. At that point, you could grab beserkers to replace that 10 man unit which is extremely effective and a dangerous package, you don't even need more than 8 either.

Not sure how close that gets you but I'm thinking =
8 Zerks w Pfist & Icon is 157 compared to 185 for the melee marines
Removal of Havoc is 11, combi costs another 2.
Switch of combi melta -> Combi plas gives 4 more.

That should do it, might not even have to take the flamers off your cultists.

You can also break off one of your HQ's and either your elites choice or heavy support to either a vanguard or spearhead detachment for an extra CP.
