Product Information

x95 Plastic Components: The Chimera kit consists of 95 plastic components, allowing you to build and customize your own Chimera model. Many an enemy of the Imperium has been destroyed because its commander believed his flanks protected by such watery obstructions, only to find ranks of Imperial Guardsmen, supported by the potent anti-personnel weaponry of the Chimera that had transported them, driving into the very heart of his forces.

Mars pattern - More popular amongst Guard commanders as their profile is largely unchanged from that of a standard Chimera, making it harder for the enemy to single them out. The promethium reservoir fills the Chimera's cargo space. [3]Armoured Fist squads have a reputation in the Guard for getting the job done and are in high demand by infantry regiment commanders. Typically deployed against the most heavily defended of enemy positions where the armoured protection of a Chimera is vital for a successful assault, it is no surprise that Armoured Fist squads have an even higher rate of attrition than standard Imperial Guard heavy infantry units. Catachan Pattern - This Sentinel is armed with a Heavy Flamer and Chainblade for use in jungles and is effective for both clearing a path as well as a fire support weapon against dug-in infantrymen. The Catachan pattern Sentinel is also generally camouflaged using a jungle scheme. The dimension comparison between Chimera and IS-3 was a bit of give and take; Chimera was somewhat shorter at 28.5 ft (8.6 meters) to the IS-3’s 32.3 ft (9.8 meters) but also slightly wider at 12 ft (3.6 meters) to 10.6 ft (3.2 meters). Chimera and IS-3 were relatively even on the height measurements, with the former being 9 ft (2.7 meters) to the IS-3’s 8ft (2.4 meters) but had better gun depression of -10 degrees to the Soviet’s -3 degrees

The Destroyer is a tank hunter of the Imperial Guard, it is armed with a powerful weapon known as a Laser Destroyer. The Destroyer is based off of the Leman Russ tank chassis, only with its turret ring removed and replaced with a crew access area. Due to the complexity of maintaining the Laser Destroyer and the number of Forge Worlds able to build new ones shrinking steadily the Destroyer is becoming quite a rare sight on the battlefields of the 41st Millennium. The Shadowsword is the sister tank of the more common Baneblade super-heavy tank of the Imperial Guard. The Shadowsword is a nearly identical super-heavy tank to the Baneblade with the exception of its armament and battlefield role as a Titan-killer. Armed with a massive forward-firing gun known as a Volcano Cannon the Shadowsword's primary focus during combat is the destruction of enemy Titans. The Shadowsword and Baneblade have been fighting alongside the forces of Mankind since the Dark Age of Technology, thus making it one of the oldest tank designs still in regular use by the Imperium. Edition: May have Flaming Breath or Iron Hard Skin or Venomous Ooze. May have Lash or Fiend Tail. May have Rending Fangs or Whip Tongue. [4a] Forces of the Inquisition - Fought using Chimeras as armoured transports during the Betalis III Campaign against the Eldar of Craftworld Mymeara Malcador - The standard Malcador is armed with a turret-mounted Battle Cannon and a hull-mounted Autocannon.Many an enemy army has been destroyed because its general thought his flanks protected by such obstructions, only to find ranks of Imperial Guardsmen -- supported by the fearsome anti-personnel weaponry of their Chimera transports -- disgorging into the very heart of his forces. Mars, Vanaheim, Gryphonne IV, Stygies VIII, Voss, Triplex Phall, Graia, Tolkan, Accatran, Lucius, Metalica and many others

While the Chimerax's quad-linked Autocannons actually fared poorly against aircraft they proved more than capable of supporting the ferried troops. This variant has been mostly replaced with the much more effective Hydra anti-air tank. Paint the smaller details such as the searchlight, comms system, and towing hooks using appropriate colors. For example, use Yriel Yellow for the searchlight lens and Balthasar Gold for the towing hooks.In Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargaming, datasheets and indexes are two different components that provide essential information about the game’s units and rules. Here’s a breakdown of their differences: What are Datasheets? When a new codex for a faction is released, its rules become the standard, overriding any previous versions of the rules. The Thunderbolt heavy fighter is one of the two main fighter aircraft patterns used by the Imperial Navy, the other of which is the Lightning air superiority fighter. The Thunderbolt is the mainstay weapon system of Imperial Navy fighter wings and is a rugged, well-armed and armoured heavy fighter with all-around capabilities, a good maximum speed and above-average maneuverability, powerful nose-mounted weapons and hard points located on the wings for missile or bomb load-outs. It is an aircraft that is well-liked by those who fly and service it and it has served the cause of the Emperor for many centuries. Also based on the Chimera chassis, the Salamander is an open-topped, lightly armoured scout vehicle armed with an Autocannon and a hull-mounted Heavy Bolter. A command variant of the Salamander is armed with a Heavy Flamer. The vehicle is significantly faster than most Imperial Guard vehicles, and many crews further modify the engines and transmission of the vehicle against regulations to allow additional bursts of speed. However, most commanders overlook the breach of regulations due to the dangerous nature of the missions that Salamander crews must undertake. The Salamander is also often used by artillery company forward observers. The open top provides better visibility when spotting and relaying targets.
