Oh, well look at that, it's renegade list:

Firstly:
Cultist champions don't get access to the arsenal. in other words, they don't get a Power axe.

Secondly the first militia squad is pointed wrong. you get 5 pts less on it's cost.

- Renegade Militia [55 Points] {Troops}
• Renegade Militia (9)
- Lasgun (9 x 0)
- Frag Grenade
- Chaos Sigil
- Vox Caster
• Renegade Militia Champion (1)

On the second militia squad, the point cost is missing and why pick a heavy bolter for 8pts when you have access to the heavy stubber for 2 pts.
On ten man squads i find sigils also less worth then voxes, i'd get rid of them, saves you 10 pts (or gives your militia mortars.)

Marauders; Ok ehm, they can do anything, yes that includes melee, however murder cultists is worthless. Simply put with a 6ppm model that hits on 3+ anyways you don't need rerolls to hit, what you need is something that boosts strength, and not even the Khorne covenant is doing that since, Marauders lack covenant buffs. Not to discourage you tho, split the squad into 2 five man squad and deliver them via valkyrie/ chimera and get yourself the 4+ armor instead. (or go 10 man blobs with stalker specialisation since it even grants -1 to hit on all distances.)
As for the brutes, don't bother with them, get yourself more chaos spawn or another unit of marauders for it's base price.

Hellhounds are a solid choice, i'd pick the bolter over the melta though.

Command squads that are equipped with a Banner and Vox need padding, preferably you also run 2+ command voxes since that significantly buffs morale for all units with voxes (e.g. militia)

A lot of my options are limited by budget. I'm trying to use official GW and FW models. So far I could only get one box of the command squad models.

Not to worry, one squad is allready a great boon, talking from experience.
Replace the cultist squad with a militia squad, (then it is legal)

Little hint, (mix cultists, GSC cultists and GSC Ig squads are also great with the options for shotguns, stubbers, autoguns and mutations covered) I am also sure you have access to bits, stubbers f.e. you can make out off ig vehicle additions. (they got one and most people don't use one,ergo find an IG player, surely you have something you could trade in.)

Just a suggestion, you could run this list also completely with Disciples and Command Squad disciples, and in a vanguard detachment.
Cp anyways are unnecesarry for us.

I'd say run them as vanilla guys until you get some more voxes then? Find someone who plays cadians since they'll have a million extra voxes IIRC?

This, Voxes , nade launchers, Stubbers should and could be found by any IG player. often times to happy to get rid of them.

I was actually thinking of having one squad of marauders (5 man) equipped with auto guns and sniper rifles in the rest along with my squad of mortars

Also any opinion on the Rapiers?

I run two of these, they are actually great for price and cost.

Rapiers atm in strange place. Btw the Crew is guardsmen crew, so they are better then the rest.

Did the stubbers get devalued in Chapter Approved? My book says they cost 4 each

2 pts now, thanks to Ca.

Alright, I made an updated list based on what people suggested, and I now stand at 996 points

What detachment are you going to use?

Vanguard?

That said you now field a decent ammount of high quality bodies, so you will witness the most efficient playstyle with r&h.
That said beyond the Laser Destroyers you have few heavy weapons. That can work considering marauders don't really run. ( hint if they fail use the brb reroll stratagem for the in it for the money test.)

Well, one of the Hellhounds has a MeltaCannon on it, does that not count?

So I managed to snag some Renegade Ogryn and some Apostate Preachers (to be used as Malefic Lords) off EBay and was wondering what do people think I should take out for them?
