For 295 pts, you get 3 chimeras with a ccs and 2 inf squads. Throw in some special weapons for spice (I find that flamers are best for making thier points back, especially when disembarking from the chimera) and you have 3 expendable and useful units. This is about 50% more expensive than a single vet squad with plama in a chimera.
Check this out:

PCS, Lcan, 2x plasma, flamer, chimera--160
Marbo -- 65
PCS 4x Flamer, chimera -- 105
Inf squad, plasma, chimera -- 120
Inf squad, plasma, chimera -- 120
PCS 4x Flamer, chimera -- 105
Inf squad, plasma, chimera -- 120
Inf squad, plasma, chimera -- 120
PCS 4x Flamer, chimera -- 105
Inf squad, Melta, chimera -- 115
Inf squad, Melta, chimera -- 115
LRBT -- 150
LRBT -- 150
Griffon + Basilisk -- 200

for 1750, you have 10 chimeras to shove in someone's face, not to mention 9 scoring units with a whole lot of dakka (30 multilaser and 30 heavy bolter shots from the transpots alone, Heavy flamers are also nice). Send multiple chimeras to each objective and use them to attack vulnurable units in packs. For maximum cheese, have a unit hide behind a chimera (wrecked or no) or in other cover and order them to hit the ground for a nice cover save.

Why? The LRBT would just be stuck shooting infantry but the ap3 will allow it to kill most infantry more easily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6223147.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6223147.page GMT Local tournament coming up imperial guard tank heavy

the punisher has a 24" range on its gun. the LRBT cannot move and shoot, so you are either shooting one, and not shooting the other for about 1 turn.

also, the thing about chimeras is they pop easier than tanks. I say take a mix and use the chimeras as a screen for the main tanks and to give cover/LoS against side armor and keep nasties from sneaking around to rear armor. also 1 vanquisher would be recommended as a heavy anti armor tank. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6223459.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6223459.page GMT Re:Local tournament coming up imperial guard tank heavy LR from firing? In mini rulebook page 71 it directly says a vehicle can move and fire ordnance weapons but can only snap shot any other weapons. Also rules for LRBT allows a LRBT to fire all weapons as its a lumbering behemoth...
I appreciate the suggestions...as far as the chimeras go I only have 5 so more than that cant happen yet lol. As far as the platoons I feel for the 20 pts more to have a better ballistic and more special weapons than an infantry squad seems like a more solid choice. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6224847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6224847.page GMT Re:Local tournament coming up imperial guard tank heavy
1) Lumbering Behemoth doesn't apply anymore, it got faq'ed out so LRBT's can't fire ordnance guns and sponsons at normal BS

2) It got changed to a Heavy Vehicle, so it counts as stationary if it moves at combat speed; hence you can move and fire the main gun so long as you moved 6'' or less. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6224877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6224877.page GMT Re:Local tournament coming up imperial guard tank heavy LRBT can only move 6 inches a turn either way? firing or not.

I hear ya on the executioners just at this moment Im looking at a wall of AV14 and thats what im gunning for.


Sure, then if I were you i'd first put one of the vets squads in the vendetta so that you can do a form of termicide on enemy vehicles. I'd take the demolishers and run them as your wall of AV 14 but keep a couple of guard squads behind them to give them a nice meat shield for their rear.

Pretty sure there is a rule that says vehicles are able to move and fire ordnance weapons. Its right under the section that goes over vehicles and firing.


Also the LRBT is heavy meaning it counts as stationary even if it moved so the cannon could fire regardless.

Now if it fires its ordnance weapons and it has sponsons then the sponsons and the hull weapon fire at bs one because of the ordnacne rule and firing multiple weapons.

If running an av14 wall I would probably just stick with stock LRBT's and demolishers. Thats about it. Most of the other variants are good at specific roles and mostly rely on having upgraded sponsons to improve killing power, thus making the tanks more expensive. So if its just a plain av14 wall just LRBT's and demolishers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6225362.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561663/6225362.page GMT
