Hi everyone,

I'm quite far along with painting my minotaurs army, which is why I decided to try them out in battle tomorrow.
I am totally into fluff with all my armies, and these minotaurs will be no exception. According to IA10 the minotaurs are strangely well funded and can afford nearly unlimited amounts of heavy support etc. They are a berserk force that operates with many land raiders, vindicators etc. So ... here is the list:

HQ:
Lord Asterion Moloc (minotaurs chapter master with terminator armour and storm shield. Gives all minotaurs preferred enemy SM)
Captain Mordaci Blayock (this one bugs me because he is not a minotaur, but I 'need him' because he makes assault termies scoring)

Troops:
10 Tactical Squad (missle Launcher) (5 will be in razorback, other 5 with ML will be holding any back objective)
1 Razorback (lascannon)

5 Tactical Squad (will be in land raider Achilles)


Elites:
5 Assault Terminators (2x TH/SS, 3x Claws) (will be with Mordaci in the Storm Eagle)
5 Assault Terminators (3x TH/SS, 2x Claw) (will be with Moloc in Land Raider Redeemer)

Heavy Support:
1 Storm Eagle Gunship ROC Patern (minotaur only gunship variant of the storm eagle. Has very good anti tank firepower).
1 Land Raider Achilles (land raider with Thunderfire cannon in the hull)
1 Land Raider Redeemer



So what do you guys think? I know it is not going to win tournaments, but I think it will be very competitive in friendly games. I would have liked to put more infantry in the list, but I didn't have the points and I think I'm quite ok with 5 small troops. I really wanted to stick to putting as much heavy stuff in as I could. Especially the 2 HQ are a huge point sinker, but I think I need (and want) the termies scoring and I couldn't come up with a better way.
Would like the have put my Spartan tank in here with 10 termies (combat squads) inside. But I couldnt because I needed the extra HQ (besides it would have been a 320 point tank with 700 points inside).

All comments are welcome. My friends play: GK, SM, Tau, Nid, Ork, CSM, SW so it has to be a quite all round list

For 2k Points your really short on units and hitting power.
