Title says it all. You have one HQ unit vs 50 Cultists armed with Autoguns, and you're fighting in a small city, so lots of cover saves.
The rules are: No bodyguards, no Daemon summoning, and no vehichles.

Mine would be:

Chaos Lord
with Space Marine Bike, Combi-Bolter, Power Sword and Aura of Dark Glory.

I'd just do hit-and-run attacks, booyah!

**Peregrine**

The Tau Riptide character. Out-range any return fire, and move faster than a cultist to keep them from ever getting to do anything.

Alternatively, screw your "no vehicles" rule, I'm taking my ABG command tank and laughing as the cultists can't even roll dice against me.

**ImAGeek**

Can I take Primarchs from 30k?

**nosferatu1001**

Juggerlord with AOBF. With up to 13attacks + HOW @ S6 AP2 on the charge and T5, 4W, he wipes a unit of ten in one go.

**CrownAxe**

Great Unclean One. At T7 none of the S3 attacks from the cultists will hurt it

**Mr.Omega**

Lelith Hesperax.

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.

**Makumba**

Riptide or WK warlord. out range the cultists and are so much faster that cultists will never reach the, and str 3 vs t8 is bad.

**Reinokarite**

I like the idea with Chaos Lord on Jugernaut with the Axe of Blind Fury. But instead of Aura of Dark Glory you can use Sigil of Corraption. Also add Combat Familiar to add 4 more attacks.

**Wulfmar**

Good way to spot the difference between those who want carnage where the cultists stand a chance and... those who want to face-roll them with cheese.

I'd go Sorcerer on disk of Tzeentch for some speed-boarding and Tzeentch-bolting

**Doctadeth**

Asmodai, if just for the lolz.

"Ahh, more fallen to slay"

**Furyou Miko**

Seth.

**Verviedi**

Flyrant w/ TL BL Devs + eGrubs.

Gabriel Seth? He's not a HQ anymore sadly a LoW :(

I would take either Logan Grimnar and reap a tally that would make the all-father proud! Or maybe Kharne. Cause blood for the blood god!

**Paradigm**

Probably Thunderwolf Lord, Black Death, Lightning Claw, The Wooden Stone Runic Armour. Can hit at initiative if he wants, or at I1 with 10 S8 AP2 attacks on the charge.

St Celestine of course. The cultists might think they have a chance (it's just a girl) but will quickly see the error in their thinking.

**vipoid**

Well, of the armies I play:

DE: Urien Rakarth. T5, 4++, FNP (4+) and IWND means he has a decent chance of surviving their multitude of attacks/shots and gradually whittling them down.

IG: Yarrick! Because he's the toughest non-tank in the book, and can keep reviving if killed.

**Dark Lord Seanron**

Always go Ghazkull!!

**Overlord Thraka**

Warboss with Mega armor, Skorcha, Lukky stikk, and Cybork Body.

**niv-mizzet**

Any librarian with a terrify-type malediction. Mephiston with fear of the darkness probably being the best. One ld check away from a win.

**DCannon4Life**

Prince Yriel would be fun.

Yep you beat me to it. Always wanted to try him against an ork army or IG army just for the look of terror on my opponent's face.

**TheAvengingKnee**

The swarmlord, his toughness, WS, and save, would mitigate the cultists to uselessness almost instantly and he could keep giving himself preferred enemy as well.

**Great White**

Old blood angels Mephiston

**Ugavine**

Flying Hive Tyrant.

**Renesco P. Blue**

Ordos Xenos Inqusitor grenade juggler with power armor, a combiflamer, and a venom talon. psychic shriek, explode some heads, burn more fools and then rush in and pray to the emperor for a six so all those cultists kill themselves for a turn and then clean up while wounding on 2's.
