Units to accompany chapter master

[Primarch]

Assault Terminators need a Land Raider.
Shooty Terminators can deepstrike, ride in a Land Raider or even just walk across the board.
If you deepstrike them, units of 5 are fine. The appear, shoot something and pose an immeadiate threat that the opponent needs to deal with.
Walking across the board, 10 terminators with 2 cyclone launchers and Lysander will dish out a LOT of firepower. Some armies have the AP2 guns to deal with it, others dont.

Either way 10 terminators is a significant investment in points and used properly they can win you the game. They can also cause you to lose badly if the opponent can deal with them easily (Lots of plasma, vindicators, demolishers etc).

5 Terminators is usually enough for the job, but you can always fill up extra seats in the transport if you have some points spare.

Yeah, that is some firepower indeed.

By the way, (sorry for the large amount of questions, and thanks for your time answering them) I just looked over the weapons for the chapter master and there is an option for combi weapons on the terminator armour, if I replace the original storm bolter with a combi weapon, is that a combi weapon with the storm bolter profile or a boltpistol/boltgun? Have looked in the codex but it just says it is a bolgun after its one time use, but I have never seen a terminator equipped with a normal boltgun so..

A Combi Weapon is a Boltgun + X (melta, plasma or flamer). So you lose the storm bolter and gain a bolter with 1 use of the special weapon.

Okay, thanks, I have got a very clear picture of how to build my army now. I will make use of terminators but I will definitely find a solution for the Honour Guard as well, it might be expensive and vulnerable but it is just a really cool unit fictionwise, the chapter banner is also a really nice addition.

this is the correct way to approach army building. MiJ approves, mmn, yes...*nods sagely*
