Your hero is likely best placed with your G-Rifle-equipped Cult Rangers; they can stay safely out of shooting distance of enemies, and the Machine Cult spell list allows your hero to support them very well, by either replenishing fallen models, or granting AP(+1) for their shooting. Long range combined with potential AP(2) allows very safe deployment and quick dispatching of Def3+ and 4+ units. They could just as well be placed with your Breacher Cyborgs, granting the same buffs to increase their anti-tank capabilities versus particularly tanky lists such as Custodians or a vehicle-heavy Human Defense Force list.
Yeah we're using the tank as an Iron Walker. Too expensive otherwise, 12 wounds is unfun at this point level, and it looks just fine.

Machine Cult
Setting: Grimdark Future
Games: Grimdark Future,
Grimdark Future: Firefight
Species: Human/Cyborg
Version: v2.50

Below you will find quickplay armies for the Machine Cult from the Grimdark Future universe.

Note: as v2.50 is in constant development the following might not be accurate.

Combat Patrol Adeptus Mechanicus (1000pts)

This is a v3.1.0 list you can build using one Combat Patrol: Adeptus Mechanicus box from Games Workshop, or any other models of your choice.

Yeah we're using the tank as an Iron Walker. Too expensive otherwise, 12 wounds is unfun at this point level, and it looks just fine.

Lot of the rest of this hinges on your caster - they're sturdy but probably not sturdy enough to run on their own. This army has fairly low volume of fire, so you may find yourself relying on Machine Terror for dealing with anything numerous. Steel Body and Lock-On are probably the best of the other spells.

Also, your Rangers are almost definitely going to be dead at the end of round 2 or middle of round 3. There's just not much in the box, honestly.
