Unit Review: Chimera - 10th Edition Index 

I agree 😆 especially as someone who still has a decent chunk of metal models.

My RT era Guard still drives around in Rhinos. I remember when Chimeras were created.

@@MattTrussell that's fricking awesome!

Much appreciated and will do! For the Emperor! And Cadia Stands!!!

how do you shoot 4 models out the back when each heavy weapons team is two models and you can only shoot 2 models out of the back?

Just in case you didn't know, firing deck doesn't work with overwatch

@@jacket2848 oh no! Ugh. Well the heavy flamers are still good on overwatch!

​@@Schuschu1That's... Very dumb. Where is it in the rules exactly ? Cuz i've been doing this as well.

I miss the old Veterans rule where you could take shotguns. I had a squad of 10 Veteran Catachans and Straken in a Heavy Flamer chimera. Every special weapon was a type of flamer, and there was a special order for Catachans that made fire better. I rarely needed to charge with that unit.

That's a big oops for the opponent because a player who actually pays attention 9/10 times just avoids the 12" overwatch. Unless its a desperate Tyranid or Deathguard player that needs the objective bad. I find the grenade launcher, sniper rifle and sergeant with boltgun to be so much more useful than the melta/flamethrower/plasma pistol load out I see people go straight for. Not to forget that all too often those troops with flamers get killed before even making an attack because they are always out of range and by the time they get closer its a wrap anyways. And that lack of firepower that could have been used in the earlier round with longer range weapons could have kept them alive by either hurting the enemy or outright killing enough of the enemy to reduce that unit damage output on yours. That flambé overwatch is tantilizing but unless that unit missed most of the action long enough to get in the way without being obliterated, it's rather too situational. And chances are your Chimera will be blown on round 1 if it rolled out of cover round 1, so consider yourself lucky. I find that unless I'm deep striking, all my guard units need to be attacking something round 1, because chances are third wont be around half way through the game. So I get the best out of them on average using long range wargear options.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.

I would really like to get a bolter emplacement myself, but also never find them.

That is very surprising 😮

I think with the weapon changes in 10th, they all have a place now. I personally like to go with the Heavy Bolter as it can take out Space Marines or plink some wounds off of vehicles.

I do love a good traitor guard army

It might be a lot of points, but I like the way you think!

You are correct. And well crud... now I am putting out bad information, again. But it's my fault this time and now GW changing a unit card without telling us like it happened in my Crassus review 😅

@@CadianSergeantSteel Darn! Everything else is a solid analysis though. Keep up the good work commander.

I'd argue it needs AP 1

Even with AP-1 it’s still significantly worse and everyone would take H.Bolters still. I went for the idea of upping the shots to compensate for the lack of AP and lack of D2

@@cavemansam8400 At least it would make it more anti chaff with the S6 and chaff won't benefit from cover thanks to -1 but at longer range unlike flamer. Heavy bolter is more anti elite and wounds chaff on 3. It's worse because everything has marine profiles but it's sorta balanced

@@drizzziit1 Yeah just depends what you want to do with it. With AP-1 maybe you give it 5 or 6 shots instead of 8.

I absolutely love their battle reports. Both him and his brother do such good stuff 😍 and... I mean I guess it is obvious I like it enough to pay to have Sgt Steel part of their amazing stories 😄

Oh, I have! I'm nearly certain in my Rogal Dorn Battle Tank painting tutorial I go over how I do my gun metal and pigments.

Ditto. I owned 4 of those old Autocannons.
