this my list so let me know what do you guys think

If you're goign to stick stormies in a chimera, might as well make them vets for the extra special weapon and scoring. Stormies are best for DS or dropping out of vendettas/valkyries. maybe swap one with the PCS which, with 4 flamers, is better supporting the blob squad.

Power fists on vets is an upgrade you really don't want to have to use, so save the points/

Executioner too expensive. Take a LRBT and spend the points saved on making those sentinels better, or drop them altogether and run 2 vendettas. 1 rarely works on it's own.

Heavy stubber often not worth it as you want the chimera to move every turn.

Like ruminator said drop all the heavy stubbers and power fists and you will have :80p to play with so if you make the storm troopers vets for vets with 3xplasma guns and 3xmelta guns then you will have 95p left so maybe run your heavys support like this manticore, manticore, leman russ-lascannon. and then will spare points get your blob some better weapons like meltas and melta bombs. so try some think like this.

you guys made good points about it .. also i updated the list... i still wanna give it a try with the storm trooper cause i never got the chance too used them before...also about the heavy Stubber you can still shoot it even if you move in combat speed because its defense weapon.

There is a poster here named Nungunz who kinda convinced me on the application of Stormtroopers in a Chimera that can work....

What you do is Infiltrate 18" away from your target (or 12" if out of sight (around a building)). Then you move 6" and 'power slide' the Chimera (turn it around 180 degrees). You disembark your meltas up to 2" away from the Chimera. 8" minus 12" is 4", so you get the extra d6 pen. 8" minus 18" is 10", perfect range for rapid fire for Plasma guns or even being able to fire Melta guns on something using the raw Str 8 shot (for a transport or AV 12 or less).

My standard line of thought is along Rum's concerning STs, as I would rather do Airbourn assault if they are a suicide squad and just spend 105pts versus 160 or more points.

Here is my one of my bigger points when using artillery... You have /alot/ of units that want to get in close. You have scatterable artillery. Be /VERY/ careful on your targets so you don't kill your STs, Marbro, and Chimeras for your opponent. If anything, make sure you shoot with them first to do their damage before you start raining down fire on them.

I would also drop the LCs from the LRBTs. LRBTs are pretty much strictly anti-infantry due to the scatter on the battle cannon (your hitting 1/3rd of the time). You do not want to waste those shots on vehicles. Besides, the BS 3 kinda kills it.

Use those points to give your blobs ACs to give them a long range option, specially if they are defending your Manticores. They will also want melta guns for drop pod Dreads and DSing Terminators.

You have to ask yourself if you want two AC Sentinels for 80pts or a AC HWS for 75pts that can be sitting in cover and fire every turn (and count as troops so are scoring). Another option is take the LCs from the LRBTs and the Sentinels and make a LC HWS (for 105pts) to give you some good long range AT, even at BS 3.

The hard choice if you make a LC HWS is having your CCS in a Chimera or not. If not, they can hang back with a LC, 2x Plasma guns and Camo Cloaks (120pts) that can issue 'Bring it Down!' to your blob, HWS, and itself to make them twin linked for Vehicles and Monsterous Creatures. Suddenily the BS 3 is alot less of an issue! If you have the points... you start to consider Creed and a Lord Commissar to sit with your HWS....
