I also looooove the ML/HF combo, as I field my chimeras in a very agressive role in every game I play. I have never thought "Hmm, I could really have used another HF on this chimera." at any point during a game, and the ML always finds stuff to shoot at.

I'd LIKE to put ML/HF on my Chimmies, or even HF/HF, since my Chimera platoon will almost always be Outflanking with Al'Rahem, anyway.

Unfortunately, I scratchbuild all of my Guard vehicles, and HF bits are hard to come by. I may end up going with HBs on everything just because I have more HB bits than I know what to do with...

Multi Laser Turret and Heavy Flamer hull is the best all around configuration.

For a turret weapon the Multi Laser is preferable over the heavy bolter because Strength 6 can actually penetrate Rhinos and insta kills heavy weapon teams and ignores Dark Eldar feels no pain. Heavy Bolter AP4 is not so good with the abundance of cover saves and Marines with 3+ save.

For a hull weapon the heavy flamer is best for burning infantry or genestealers that get close. You can not fire more then one weapon when moving 6 because they are greater then strength 4 so might was well have a ranged weapon and a close up template.
