A mix of 15cm range, 30cm range and 45cm range units. Not good.
Also, the move of the slowest unit is 10cm, the fastest 30cm,
also not good.

Which if it accumulates 8 Blast Markers cannot fire at all...

Motos? I assume Bikes. A good unit this one, well balanced.

I suggest a small re-arrangement:

Detachment Victor (Medium Range and Assault)
> 1 Captain + Rhino
> 2 Tactical Squads (4 units) with 1 Rhino
> 1 Land Raider
- Minimum speed 20cm, Range 30-45cm

Detachment Hugo (Firebase at Long range)
> 3 Land Raiders
> 3 Devastators Squads (6 units)
-Minimum Speed 20cm, range 45cm

Detachment Robespierre (Assault)
> 1 Librarian (Jet Pack)
> 2 Assault Squads (4 units)
> 1 Motos Squadron (1 unit)
> 1 Vindicator (1 unit)
-As before

This changes the Terminators to Devastators, and adds a Rhino, at the
cost of deleting 2 bikes.
