For absolutely no chance of victory for the Cultists.
Seneschal Cerastus Knight-Castigator or Seneschal Cerastus Knight-Acheron. 
Ack missed the no vehicle restriction, that's no fun.

This sounds like a fun scenario. Are you asking because you plan to do a battle-report using the most popular choice?
Put the most popular choices up in a poll, do eeet! :-D

Oooooh! The last stand of a HQ/Character! I likey.
I'd probably go with my homebew CM with dual LC's and Artificer armor.
Blood Angels would probably be similarly designed load out.
Guard? Yeesh...don't have many HQ's that'd stand up to fifty guys...maybe a fully decked out CCS with Straken, a medic, and the veterans with pistols/ccws.

I love how people are ignoring the OP's rule against vehicles for the purposes of the Cultists being unable to hurt it.

Yeah. I have said something along those lines. Besides, watching a vehicle tear through them with no threat would be no fun. Send in the lone Succubus and let the good times roll!

 "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

I was quoting the entire conversation. On the other hand, by extension of the rule T8 and higher should be barred as being invulerable to anything the Cultists have in the same vein as vehicles being immune.

Vehicle hqs disallowed, the paskisher is the only thing guard has to fight them!
Cmon man!
That Barred I would take Sammeal from the da and shoot at 24", if they didn't have autoguns it would be a piece of cake.
For guard I would take Straken, a medipack vet, two flamers, and a heavy flamer. As usual carapace armour on everyone.

The thread is not about what army can fight 50 Cultists without being immune to threat. Its about the optimal unit to kill as many Cultists before/without death without being invulnerable across all armies.

I think I have this. A Crisis Commander with two flamers, Iridium armor, vectored retro-thrusters, and a neuroweb system jammer clocks in at 127 points, can clean off maybe a dozen or more models a turn, avoid return fire in most instances, survive multiple rounds of shooting, kill enemies on their turn, and leave melee at will, preventing her from being tar-pitted. No vehicle, no accompanying units, no invulnerability in the literal sense of the word, as cheap and quickly as possible. For the Greater Good!

That's a wee goofy when one the the parameters outlaw things that are invulnerable.

Boosting Black Templar Biker

I'll use my standard Chapter Master, Teeth of Terra (Rampage ftw), jump pack, shield eternal, storm bolter, artificer armour and Black Templar tactics.
Never failed me nor died in a game yet. He may be meh shooting, but the Rampage from Teeth and 2+/3++ make him a monster in CQC, even better in challenges due to BT tactics.

Flying Hive tyrant meets all reqs (HQ, not a vechicle, single model, killable, no summoning) clocks in at 240 pts and would kill/roast/eat an endless tide of cultists untill he gets unlucky.
Flying so needs 6's to hit, ML2 Psyker with a good selection of powers vs hords, T6 so needs 6+ to wound him possable FNP from catalist. Elecreoshock grubs for in close flamieness and 2x TL Dev fireing 12 S6 shots at 18' add to this Fighter ace for evin more shanagins. I think he will steal the show.
For cheap and cinimatic Deathleaper with needing 6's to hit him and all his other cool rules. :-)
