Could the Emperor's Blade Assault Company Formation from the Cadia Codex be fielded as an effective standalone 1000 Point Army? It seems like a basic Mech Guard list in formation form with a couple of fast tanks, but I'm always wary of using formations like this as full armies.

You may wish to consider swapping the multi lasers for autocannons on your chimera Alternately swap 3 Chimmies for Taurox..

Why swap 3 Chimmies for Taurox? Just curious...I like the model - bought one for my IG just to have one...
