Hi Guys

I just wanted a bit of advice really, I have been gradually building up a small minotaurs force for use in some local games and was wondering what I should include to the army? Im loosely keeping to the whole "Minotaurs theme" using the current SM codex (also have the fall of orpheus for moloc's rules). Here are the figs I have so far:

HQ:
Asterion Moloc

Troops:
10 man tac squad with plasma cannon
10 man tac squad with plasma cannon

Elites:
5 man assault termie squad 2x claws and 3x TH and SS

Was thinking about switching out the plasma cannons for lascannons though for a bit more anti tank firepower, and getting a stormraven to transport the termies and Moloc. Was also considering getting some centurions with grav cannons + amps.

Many thanks

Well, you could put the 10 man tac squads in rhinos, because they have firing hatches, so the plasma cannon can shoot. I would also say make you assault terminators either full claws or full TH/SS, due to the fact that if you charge a squad that you think you need claws for but you only have three, or if you charge a tank/MC and you want thunder hammer, but you only have two, you are going to be short handed. You want to specialize your marines for one specific purpose, or else they wont be effective at what they do. And A stormraven would be smart. Lascannons wouldn't go wrong either.

I'd get a LRC for the Termis. Mixed weapons are also pretty helpful.
