Nick Rose have lately won tournaments with a couple of chimeras used as both transports and as a mobile screen for a bunch of genestealers. That kind of play becomes even more viable with these lower prices. Maybe something similar could be done for AM?

I mostly use chimeras to deliver genestealer cult assault units to the front lines, so I like heavy flamers. They are expensive, but at least they will hit when on the move. (And if the chimera is standing still, it could probably be swapped for more infantry.) 2x H-flamers average 7 hits per turn they fire. That's the equivalent of 3 and a half turn of moving and shooting 2x H-bolters.
