CCS with MoO, stay out of range, attrition the fethers with large blasts.

This and then equip them with as many flamers as possible just in case they do somehow get in range. Then again, you only have to kill 25% to force leadership and run them off the table.

Be'lakor. Just swoop so that you can't get assault and are shot at on 6's and wounded on 6's and you have 2+ cover from shrouded and at least jink. You can then spend the entire game vector striking 1 cultist at a time, then terrifying a unit off the board each turn and let warp storm do all the work.

Shriek into Ld 7 is nothing to sneeze at either.

You must be kidding.

Are these 200 Cultists a single unit or all individuals? 10 units of 20?

Yeah.

You can't answer with "Yeah" to a question that involved the word "or"

10 units 'o 20.

2+ Armour, FNP,

Oh yeah and technically has 3 shooting attacks, that could potentially, and very likely be a unit a turn.

Say you had to choose a single HQ/LOW to fight of 200 Cultists in a city sort of landscape. 100 of the Cultists have got Autopistols and CCW's, and the rest have Autoguns.

The rules are: No cheese. The cultists need to be able to hurt you.
No vehicles, walkers, IK's, Riptides etc.
You have an infinite amount of points.

I would take a Chaos Termi Lord with a Power Claw, Combi-Bolter, Aura Of Dark Glory, MoT, Combat Familiar, and Ichor Blood.

A Chaos Lord with the MON on a bike with the Black Mace, the Burning Brand of Skalathrax, Icon of Despair, Aura Of Dark Glory and Ichor Blood. They can still hurt him... if they have Flamers

. He also has the Burning Brand of Skalathrax and a combi-flamer to burn a good chunk of them to death. The Icon of Despair also means that he causes fear, which means that he'll scare a good portion of them off the board.
