Only 5 tanks? Add more tanks, bring less Chimeras. Play to the strength of your list.

I am not so sure about that to be honest ^.x... I love my Infantry support. Something about 40k and flames of war having a panzer company and still having infantry support.

The problem is that in an Armored Company list you pay through the nose via HQ/elite selections for the right to take tanks as troops. Pumping the points into Armored Fist squads dilutes that too much (now you do want to bring at least one infantry squad, but more than that at 1,500 can dilute the army quickly).

I would also consider taking Storm Troopers over Armored Fist squads-the AF just give your opponent's anti-infantry weapons something to kill, while the Storm Troopers can hide in the Chimera until they pop out and gun something. That will also play much more like an infantry support role as you envision it as opposed to having 20 guys hiding in the back and trying to plink something with their long-range guns.
