I think it's pretty powerful, but not user friendly. Chimeras can be tricky to use with their large side arcs but I have a lot of experience with Chimeras. I'm having a blast with the list, it's both ultra violent and self destructive. The one thing I have noticed in the 6th ed meta is the Chimeras rarely explode. Most of the dakka flying at them is AP3 or worse, and when they wreck instead of explode they provide nice cover for the henchmen. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556259/6121394.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556259/6121394.page GMT 1,500 Henchmen/IG competitive

Well, foot slogging is a slow way to die. Air defense is also missing.


It's hybrid not footslogging. Only three units start on foot after I load the vendetta. There are plenty of chimera, natural cover, and the aegis wall to keep the foot units safe. If something can get behind the chimera to shoot at the foot henchmen they usually choose shooting av10 side instead of mowing down inexpensive henchmen.

Running behind the chimera for turns 1 and 2. Usually keeps up. The foot units have been performing well, and are inexpensive.

Air defense is middle of the road. Vendetta + CCS can tl their shots + coteaz for divination. It's enough not to sweat a couple of helldrakes or storm talons. Full french bakery could be problematic, but I'm just seeing it around much anymore

This is actually really close to the list that i am currently building towards, but with some non-mech elements in. Looks really quite strong to me, but I'd recommend a psyfleman dreadnought for turn 1 long ranged anti tank. Here's my list:

That's real solid. I'm Already really tempted to add a 2nd griffon. I'm not too focused on getting 1st blood. I do have a psyfleman model, but just can seem to find the points. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556259/6123395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556259/6123395.page GMT
