Hey! I've been toying with a hammer and anvil type army list for my Minotaurs in the making.

As follows:

Main Detachment:

-HQ-
Chapter Master w. AA, Bike, Shield Eternal and TH 250pts
*Rune Priest w. Bike, Jaws of the World Wolf & Living Lightning 135pts

-Troops-
Bikes x5 w. 2 Grav guns, Combi-Grav 145pts
Bikes x5 w. 2 Grav guns, Combi-Grav 145pts
Bikes x5 w. 2 Grav guns, Combi-Grav 145pts
*Grey Hunters x10, 2x Melta Guns, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen 180pts
-Drop Pod 35pts
*Grey Hunters x10, 2x Melta Guns, Wolf Standard, Mark of the Wulfen 180pts
-Drop Pod 35pts

-Fast Attack-
Stormtalon Gunship w. Skyhammer Missile Launcher 125pts
Stormtalon Gunship w. Skyhammer Missile Launcher 125pts

-Heavy Support-
Thunderfire Cannon 100pts
-Drop Pod 35pts
Thunderfire Cannon 100pts

Total: 1735pts

The plan is that the Thunderfire Cannons and Grey Hunters act as the anvil (Hunters being deployed first turn thanks to the empty pod), while the bikes provide a rapidly deployed hammer. Talons for air support. Chapter Master as a beat stick, tanking wounds for one of the bike squads also including the Rune Priest. Need ideas for the last 15 pts, could either go Chooser of the Slain and have another 5pts spare, or I could fit my bike squads with Melta bombs.

There is an issue in that the Rune Priest will have a lower jink save than the rest of the bikes due to the White Scars chapter tactics, thus he could be Focus Fired. But this should be mitigated by LoS to the CM, and I still believe Scars to be the optimal choice for the main C:SM detachment, no?

Input appreciated!
