Starting a renegade/slightly traitor marine army who use a lot of cultists, but aren't as Chaosy as the GW cultists are, with the unnecessary hoods and chaos stars and general evil stuff, and aren't as well equipped/armoured or all the same like the guardsmen models are. Can anyone recommend any good alternatives?

You could get the Cultist Assualt, buy some spare bodies and blitz, and kitbash your own. The Cultist Assault box can be chopped up, and the heads and weapons can be taken, and the stars and other evil stuff sanded down.

**PossumCraft**

maybe base them on Catachan, who lack body armour and basically just wear pants and vests

Frostgrave Cultists would be my first port of call. Empire Flagellants as well.

I got that, and was actually quite disappointed by it. I wasn't paying too much attention and just thought 'more cultists, sweet'. turns out it was the normal cultist kit x 4 with a fancy marine champion. I thought there'd be a bit more variation to the models or you'd at least get the other autogun and autopistol/CCW guys from the Dark Vengeance box, and the heavy guys too, but no. As it stands I've now got 5 guys in semi-gimp masks armed with potatoes on a string.

Age of Sigmar Chaos Marauders. They have a suitable barbaric look but not overtly chaos. Combine with some Catachan arms and you got some decent "woodsman" chaos cultists.

Puppetswar just released some cultist looking chaps:

So you want more like soldiers but not overly equipped?

**bubber**

how about a whole bunch of British plods?

paint them red instead of blue & bosch! cultists!

**Bottle**

Perhaps the Genestealer 4th gen hybrids with head swaps?

**Scourged**

The Regiments line from Anvil has lots of possibilities for fun.

**EverlastingNewb**

How about Age of Sigmar / Fantasy Flagellants? They look quite Chaotic.

Perry Twins Sudanese tribesmen make up a significant portion of my Renegades. Plastic models, cheap, solid quality and cool models.

Perhaps go on ebay and order the cutists from the DV box. You'll get a wider variety of figs. Shave off some Chaos iconograpy and spikes and swap a few heads and you'll have much less chaos'y looking figs.

The Frostgrave box is a good suggestion, but the figs are a bit smaller so if you go that way I strongly suggest getting some guns from Victoria Miniatures (the first gen lasguns are good) as they run a bit smaller (in a good way) than GW weapons.

If you like the Copplestone castings figures shown above, you can find additional similar figs being sold by EM4 miniatures in their "Future Warriors" line. Both lines were sculpted by Mark Copplestone in the same style, some of almost the exact same subject.
