The Minotaurs are a chapter of Space Marines. Formed in the 13th 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 Custode Halberd, albeit with a powerful 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.
