The Minotaurs are a chapter of [[Space Marines]]. Formed in the 21st Founding, they were psychopathic berserkers. Then they vanished for a while, until they reappeared. Still huge assholes, they now seem to be in cahoots with the [[High Lords of Terra]] themselves, having shittons of[[Terminator]] and MK8 armour that even the First Founding chapters would be jealous of, with their Chapter Master having what appears to be a [[Adeptus_Custodes|Custode]] Halberd, albeit with a powerful [[Multilaser|laser]] in it instead of a [[bolter]]. They seem to be the High Lords' private attack dogs, used to kill off other Space Marine chapters, and access to [[Administratum]] records on the Chapter have seals that not even the [[Inquisition]] can break open. Also one of their Captains insulted [[Marneus Calgar]] right in the face of an [[Ultramarine]] descendent. They also completely tore the [[Inceptors]] chapter apart and stole all their stuff, pissing off all Ultramarine descendent chapters and making them pretty cool overall.

This smacks of Forge-World Ret-conning the fuck out of Canon in order to shift volumes of stunning looking miniatures, it's all nonsense but the models are very nice indeed.  
Unlike most Chapters, the Minotaurs appear to be able to replenish their numbers at an accelerated rate to the point that they could recover from losses that would take other Chapters a century or two to fully recover from. Imperial observers during the Antigonis campaign theorized that this may have something to do with the heavy use of hypnotherapy and neuro-cerebral therapy used in the training of neophytes and frequently "refreshed" with the help of Apothecaries in the Chapter. This has proven to have some unpleasant side-effects- the Minotaurs are highly xenophobic and paranoid, even by the low standards of the Imperium.

The Minotaurs are a chapter of Space Marines. Formed in the 21st Founding, they were psychopathic berserkers. Then they vanished for a while, until they reappeared. Still huge assholes, they now seem to be in cahoots with the High Lords of Terra themselves, having shittons ofTerminator and MK8 armour that even the First Founding chapters would be jealous of, with their Chapter Master having what appears to be a Custode Halberd, albeit with a powerful laser weapon in it instead of a bolter. They seem to be the High Lords' private attack dogs, used to kill off other Space Marine chapters, and access to Administratum records on the Chapter have seals that not even the Inquisition can break open. Also one of their Captains insulted Marneus Calgar right in the face of an Ultramarine descendent. They also completely tore the Inceptors chapter apart and stole all their stuff, pissing off all Ultramarine descendent chapters and making them pretty cool overall.

Unlike most Chapters, the Minotaurs appear to be able to replenish their numbers at an accelerated rate to the point that they could recover from losses that would take other Chapters a century or two to fully recover from. Imperial observers during the Antigonis campaign theorized that this may have something to do with the heavy use of hypnotherapy and neuro-cerebral therapy used in the training of neophytes and frequently "refreshed" with the help of Apothecaries in the Chapter. This has proven to have some unpleasant side-effects- the Minotaurs are highly xenophobic and paranoid, even by the low standards of the Imperium.
