Maybe I haven't looked close enough but are you still allowed to use an armoured fist squad in a chimera transport as a troop selection. OR do you have to have a platoon command and 2 Infantry squads now in the 5th edition. Thanks

Veterans are allowed to take Chimeras as transports (they're on the page after the infantry platoon in the army list). If you want regular infantry in a chimera, though, you're going to have to get platoons.

I would agree with MekSam,the only way to get an Armoured Fist equivalent would be to mount Vets in a Chimera.

They don't exist anymore. Alternatively, you can take every squad in an infantry platoon, with a Chimera.

At least, every Platoon Command or Infantry squad can have one. Heavy Weapon squads, etc, cannot.

I rarely use the others...they just seem like a kill-point giveaway.

To have a SINGLE unit in a Chimera, you can take Vets with a Chimera. You could also give a CCS a Chimera.

If you want to take some members of a Platoon with and some without, that is also fine.
