Type: Tank
Crew: Imperial Guard
Weapons: A Chimera must be armed with a turret-mounted weapon from the following: multi-laser at +10 pts; heavy bolter at +10 pts; heavy flamer at +10 pts; autocannon at +15 pts; twin-linked heavy bolters at +15 pts. It may also be armed with either a hull-mounted heavy bolter or heavy flamer for +5 pts.
Options: The Chimera may be given any of the following from the Imperial Guard Codex: camo-netting, extra armour, hunter-killer missile, improved comms, pintle-mounted heavy stubber, pintle-mounted storm-bolter, rough terrain modification, searchlight, track guards, smoke launchers.
Transport Option: The Chimera is a transport option for Imperial Guard Armoured Fist squads, Command Platoons, Hardened Veterans, Storm Troopers, Ogryns and Infantry Platoon Command Sections, corresponding to the Chimera entry in Codex: Imperial Guard.
Special Rules
Transport Vehicle: A Chimera can carry up to twelve models (count Ogryns or models in Terminator armour as two models). It is always taken as a transport upgrade for another unit and may only transport the unit it was bought for. Independent characters that join a unit with a Chimera may also travel in it.
Fire Points: The Chimera is fitted with mountings for six hull lasguns for the passengers to use. Up to six passengers can use the hull lasguns provided. Additionally, one model may fire a weapon from the top hatch. The weapon used may be heavy, although not if the Chimera moves. Models firing from the top hatch must engage the same target as those firing the lasguns. If the hatch is used to fire from then the Chimera counts as being an open topped vehicle for the rest of that turn and all the opponent's subsequent turn.
Access Points: Units being transported enter and exit via the access ramp at the back of the hull.
Amphibious: Chimeras are amphibious vehicles that can move over water. This capability means that they treat water features (such as rivers, streams, lakes and seas) as clear terrain when they move.
This is the same core chassis used throughout the Imperial Guard, including by the Armageddon Steel Legion — see Amphibious, Chimera Lasguns, Top Hatch and Access Ramp for the equivalent Codex: Armageddon wording.
