Just what the question ask pretty much. Christmas isa comin and I'm thinking of getting 2 chimeras for my 2 purifier squads or just keeping as is footslogging. what strategies do you guys implement when using them? Thanks

1) Use chimeras to ferry an OM Inquisitor armed with an Incinerator and a full squad of Purgation Grey Knights armed with 4 incinerators and a hammer. Arm chimera with multi laser and hull heavy flamer.

[OM Inq. with weapon (40pts) + 10 Purgation with a hammer and weapon in chimera (260pts)= 300pts]

To get the Chimera, you need henchmen. The henchmen, I recommend using them as IG melta/plasma vets and make use of the rhino bought along with the purgation.

[10 Henchmen Warrior Acolyte hijacking the Purgation Squad's Rhino (80pts) + 3 Meltaguns OR 3 Plasma Guns (30pts) + 10 bolters (10pts)= 120 pts]

Break down on FOC would be like this:

HQ:
OM Inquisitor (incinerator) with 10 Warrior Acolyte Henchmen (melta OR plasma with bolters) in Chimera= 175 pts

Heavy Support
10 me purgation with a hammer and 4 incinerators in Rhino= 245 pts



2) Use Chimeras to as cheap termi transports, but taking the risk they would not be able to charge after disembark or the transport becoming a metal coffin.

3) Use chimeras as AV12 bunker for Psycannon armed Purgations, increasing their survivalbility (Recommend doing this if going against nids or heavy deep striker lists. Mawlocs and Doom will ruin them quick if not). Use a Rhino to hide it OR block LOS to it. Purgations than Astral Aim to their hearts content. Volume of fire would even make flyer players cringe. If you want, attach a Psyker Inquisitor to get the Prescience power, if still have points, get another psycannon along with TDA on the OM Inquisitor.

4) Use them to ferry incinerator armed purifiers to flame enemies or just get them safely to where you need them to engage the enemy H2H.

Sounds good, I'm curious why not psycannosn though? you need to get pretty close to your opponent to flame them and at that you have to get to the other side first.
