Florida ears will give trouble and I think armor will as well. Let us know how plays if you test it.

What are Florida Ears?

Pointy ears, maybe? (Eldar, but they give everyone trouble so it's a moot point)

I'm going to play test it this weekend. Will report back.

The strategy is to blob each platoon, give the lascannons orders such as ignore cover and monter/tank hunter. Chimeras run around and get progressive objectives. I think 10 chimeras and 115 troops can last 7 turns, instead of getting tabled...I hope.

If you're going to give anyone a chimera and lascannon, it may as well be the CCS... Their lascannon would be BS4

Hahahaha just looking back at this. Florida ears??? Supposed to be fliers. As in planes. Lol Florida ears. I laughed hard.

Chimeras can not have autocannons. Do you mean multi-laser ore do you use FW?

I think your opponent will get first blood ...

Some other things you might consider in place of an infantry squad or two:

Void shield generator - would add to your AV 12 saturation a lot
A huge unit of conscripts with a priest - 150pts for 50 conscripts. Can stop charges, bubble wrap against melta weapons and would take a LOT of killing.
Two wyverns in separate units - more AV12 to kill and absolutely murderous in terms of damage output
A manticore (particularly if going with VSG so it has some cover)

Additionally you could really use your CCS more - could give them a chimera and master of ordnance/lascannon, or you could drop them from a vendetta with melta guns (and use their orders)

Two single wyverns are meh, they are good in units of two or three damage output is ok but not overwhelming. S4 AP6 is not that much fun against vehicles.

Conscript blobs are 5th and 6th edition this is an outdated tactic in mealstorm games.

Manticore is nice!

If you buy curovs aquila and place your warlorf near the manticore you can reroll the blast.

I disagree that those are not valid these days! Just won a tournament today with 3 single wyverns and two huge conscript blobs. The wyverns accounted for kills amounting to around 150-200% of their points per game. The conscripts did their job by absorbing all the enemy anti-infantry fire and scoring objectives. They do need supporting with some anti armour weapons from elsewhere, but they do their jobs incredibly well. Wyverns are the best unit in the book for their points in my opinion.

If anything I think chimera-mounted guard is more of a last edition army, it was so much better when our chimeras had 5 fire points and cost 10pts less...
