3x Ordinatus Minoris, 2x quake cannons, 1x Landing Pad
+6 void shields
+6 hits
+3 heavy bolters
- can be suppressed one model at a time per 2 blast markers
+ you regain one void shield per engine at the end of the turn
=600 points

1x Reaver battle titan, 2x quake cannons, 1x Landing Pad
+4 void shields
+6 hits
+is only suppressed on 6 blast markers
-only regain one void shield at the end of the turn
=725 points

What would Tactical Command do?
with a landing pad the formarion is relegated to sniper duty and the minoris are better able to hide from LOS which is a plus, it also means their heavy bolters will rarely get used.
There is a bigger chance of having individual weapons knocked out with the ordinatus.
The Reaver has better armour, close combat and firefight and is fearless, but how much are these of value for an artillery titan?

E&C, in your opinion can Ordinatus Minoris even take a landing pad?

It places that formation roughly the same as 3 knights castellan, just with indirect fire for a premium of 100 points.

IMO yes.
But Carapace Landing Pad is only usefull for the unit (and not the formation) that carry the landing pad.
So the all the 'BP' weapons  of the Ordinatus (so none !) benefit from it.

Flogus is right, the landing pad only gives the benefit to the unit which has it, not the rest of the formation. It's useless on an ordinatus.

Are you sure? I couldn't find that stipulation.

What would be another good weapon combo for 3x Minoris, considering that they have armour 5 so might not survive up-close encounters too well?

Agreed, its not clear as to whether it is all BP weapons per unit or per formation, obviously for titans, they are one and the same.

It would make sense to allow if per formation, allowing some cool AMTL arty command veh. There are quite a few options to: inferno guns, missile launchers and quake cannons.
