Hello all, I am a new 40K player and need a piece of advise. I am creating a 1500pt foot list Imperial Guard army with 2 - 30 man (or 3 -20 man blobs) with 2 Vendettas in support. I have 170 points left to put in either one of the following:

3 Chimera Transports (for the CCS and 2 PCS)
OR
1 Manticore rocket Launcher

What, in your opinion, would be the greater benefit?

Thx

Probably depends on the weapons loadout of the CCS/PCS, the role you want them to play, and if you already have an ADL or not.

I love my manticores, but performance-wise they are hit or miss (literally). Chimeras are at least consistent.

If you are planning on advancing the CCS/PCS, take the Chimeras.
