BS3 and only 1 special weapon is bad in a chimera.

Having to basically take a lord commissar to make sure your guys don't get pinned/run off the board when your chimeras explode is meh.

Not really being able to receive orders because your dudes are in a chimera isn't exactly great, either.

Chimeras kick out a decent amount of fire power, and they are decent at grabbing control points. I have Leman Russ's and Melta Vets in Vedettas, and hellhounds. All supporting the platoon and command vehicles. They also drive right up to enemy units, belch out their guys, and shoot. They are platoons, they are cheap, and they are there to grab points, or support the other units.


That's pretty much what I wanted to try.

As for if there's ever a reason to take regular squads in chimeras, I'd say it's appropriate to take a few if you just want to up the amount of AV12 you have on the field for the sake of AV12 spam (or perhaps in a few other goofy circumstances, like al'rahem).

Everyone I know has moved from running exclusively Mech Vets to a Blob squad or two supported by Mech Vets.

Candlestick, the problem with Platoon Chimeras is the effective cost. When you're running Veterans with special weapons in a Chimera, they can pay for themselves. Infantry Squads have a very difficult time paying for themselves, meaning the Chimera has to work harder. Is a Chimera worth 105 points?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334390/2241802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334390/2241802.page GMT IG Blobs vs Mech http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334390/2241918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334390/2241918.page GMT
