I agree that this line of thought makes me raise the current question. The current force is smack at 3000 points. Not huge but a fair size. It really wasn't built on any meta concerns vs "let's get one of everything 'cause I like to paint".
Maybe bulk it up to 4000, then start on another? That's the target size for most of my Marine armies (the Stone Hearts may get more, but I like them best).
Or wait until the mighty Otter produces some manbull doors and do other guys in the interim.

The Space Sharks were awesome for twenty years. Then, one day, Forge World got embarassed by the name, and tried to dress it up as Characarodons. Shameful.

Because at 6mm they have one of the better looks with the deathwing and ravenwing. The oft used red bolters are a nice touch too.
True. They are purty.

Agreed that this seems to be belle of the ball with FW at the moment but you do have to admit that color-wise they look great. Perhaps it is just my love of yellow and blue/grey.
They do look nice, I admit. I'm not sure how well the look will translate at 6mm, though.

But of course!
Oh, good! More-or-less Dark Angels Green, grey trim, IA's in my signature. Try to avoid too much nice shiny equipment, and feel free to use surplus Gyrocopters as Land Speeders. And make sure to take people's money when you're done beating them up.

The deal with the BA would be that at one point I had a BA force (all from 2nd edition days) that would probably of been close to 6k. Everything other than a single tac company of beakies has given away now but I will hang my head in shame and admit these were painted back in the terrible days of terracotta colored blood angels. This could be my chance to redeem myself with proper red guys. Maybe I should just go with a successor chapter like the Flesh Tearers?
The Flesh Tearers
are pretty awesome...
Leaving aside pushing for my own chapter, I'd recommend doing something new for a while, then expanding the Minotaurs to 4000 points, then going back to the new chapter.
They're like Dark Angels (dark green!), and like the Knights Templar (banks and swords!), and very vaguely Celtic! 
. The space otters will be done as a shout out to a homie (done with his express blessing). I'll take the remainder as Blood Angels (dervishes and flying lunchboxes) and I can simply play a mixed astartes force as appropriate for the points as needed.
