The character which I bought has the following experiences:
Ruins:
Wall EXP: 8,535,651
UC EXP: 13,785,125
MM EXP: 14,741,724
AS EXP: 15,811,911
I have quite a number of gears
Amulets: 2 AoI and 2 AoF
Heavy AC armor:SC +22, HoD +21, CML +38, MS +42, AoAC +19
Others: 1 DB +40, TSA +40, combat Gi +49, HG +10, EC +8, EB +22, EG +12, HoE +10, HoC
Weapon: A Blade of Thuringwethil [73x347] (+46)
Tattoo: Einherjar lvl 1,094,623
Any suggestion on what I should do? I was thinking of converting the named SF to a ToA but which should I choose as the tank? And what should I do with the rest of the minions?
Focus on ranged or melee, not both - UC + MM is a bad combo. Since you have a wall, lose the MM and go for melee stuff like CoC or Tank/BL. You may want to consider a ToE on your AS Enchanter to lengthen combat.
Switching over to short range looks like a farther stretch with what you have.

Those names are not what I'll be doing. I have already given up on the UC since I can't get more damage unless I use a UC ToA combo.
I was thinking of doing an evasion tank (largest exp) armed with the BoTH, but will the BoTH be too small? The others will be a wall (smallest exp), AS minion (all to AS) and an AMF minion (all to AMF). Will that be good?

Focusing all that exp into the stats will make them powerful at what they do.
If you are going down the tank route, based on the list of xp you've given us I would do the following:
Wall = AMF
UC = Wall
MM = Tank
AS = AS
The BoTh might be too small; I might consider a BoNE instead and train VA on the AMF minion. But that's just detail. What about a ranged attack?

I'm thinking of no range weapon though I would love to use the HoC I just got. But I'm 5 million in debt and getting an ELB will be out of the question. Unless I do a UC ToA tank and sell my BoTH and use that money to get an ELB. With the HoC, I may be forced to have a range weapon :(

With a tank on a 4 minion team with AoI you don't need ranged, but it can make a notable difference. And if you don't use ranged you will still need money to boost the BoTh. I really don't have much money left outside of boosting my weapons. It's not a cheap life, the way of the tank. :/

My main worry is the eventual wide use of HoC. They will gain 4 rounds of range over me and all my minions may not reach melee.

I just had an idea. How about a HF on a MM mage training junction and armed with a AoI? Wonder what effect will I get... How much power will a 1.1 million level HF have?

It won't be as powerful as a ToA tank of similar size, but I would expect it to be pretty good. Coupling it with an MM minion would be a good idea, and give you decent damage for cheap.
If you don't have the funds, or a big weapon to hand a tank team is difficult to maintain.

Why not go:
Wall: Decay + GS + Heavy Armor + Einherjar lvl 1,094,623
UC: Decay + PL + AMF + Haste + Enforcer crossbow and Bolts
MM: Decay + PL + AS + Heavy crossbow and Seeker Bolts
AS: Evasion + HP/ST/DX + Damage Armor + BoTH + Assassin crossbow and Bolts
Then convert your Tat to a RoS and equip 'UC' with it so you get the max out of ranged combat.

Oups... I noticed a mistake in my proposition.
Haste should be trained on Wall, not UC. And the RoS tattoo should also be on Wall.

... which means GS should be trained on UC.
Ok, I'm done correcting myself. Apologies for the multiple posts.
"Since you have a wall, lose the MM and go for melee stuff like CoC or Tank/BL."
If you have that little money, consider CoC, at least temporarily. I can't believe somebody actually proposed CoC as a good idea. :P
Or maybe I'm just hallucinating because of my sickness. *rubs eyes*
Anyways, you may just simply want to consider getting out of debt and getting some money before you decide where to go. Since I'm no great strategist, that's all I can offer, though.

Getting out of debt is not a problem. I just need to sell off some rares that I don't need. Just got 2.1 million from the TSA. That's why I need to settle on a strategy and sell off all unnecessary items.
