FW rule allows me to take autocannons on the chimeras.

This is meant to see how it goes, not for competitive usage (I don't think many tournaments allow FW stuff).

While I applaud you on a very solid core of units, it could certainly use some tweaking.

The SWS are doing nothing (unless they're taking a chimera from someone else), and either way I'd recommend they go in favour of something else.

The armoured sentinels can also become something more useful than your already ample amount of AC shots.

I'd do the standard thing and recommend Vendettas for AV13 and higher targets, or Hellhounds with MM for a nice dual role tank. Furthemore, with the extra points, I'd recommend bundling up your hydras in pairs (2x2 hydras) and use the free heavy slot for a manticore.

Then you'll have a nice all-round army. Wouldn't hurt to have some plasma for termies and what not either.

Second everything said by Blacksails. If you like sentinels, have them outflank as scout sentinels.
A minor disappointment is that you won't be making good use of your orders (2xCCS), as everything is embarked. You're missing out on bring it down and fire on my target for your autos- you'll most likely be using bring it down for suicide melta dumps I suppose. Hydras are pretty quality.
