Product Information

Forces of the Inquisition - Fought using Chimeras as armoured transports during the Betalis III Campaign against the Eldar of Craftworld Mymeara Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll a dice roll that was made by adding several dice together (2D6, 3D6 etc.) then, unless otherwise stated, you must re-roll all of those dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll specific dice results, only those dice can be re-rolled. If a rule allows you to re-roll a specific dice result, but the result is obtained by halving a D6 (such as when rolling a D3), you use the value of the halved roll to determine if it can be re-rolled, not the value of the original D6. For example, if a rule states to re-roll results of 1, and you roll a D3, you would re-roll if the D6 rolled a 1 or a 2 (which is then halved to get a D3 value of a 1). The Macharius Vulcan variant replaces the twin Battle Cannons with a single Vulcan Mega Bolter, a weapon more commonly found on Titans, to give the tank truly devastating anti-infantry power at close range. There are several variants of the Hellhound which replace the Inferno Cannon with alternate armaments.

The Chimera is the standard armoured personnel carrier (APC) of the Astra Militarum and its chassis is the basis for a large number of other Imperial armoured vehicles such as the Basilisk artillery and Salamander scout vehicles. The basic Chimera is equipped with a Multi-Laser but can also be outfitted with a variety of other heavy weapons, such as Twin-linked Heavy Bolters, an Autocannon or a Heavy Flamer. The variant has been tested and approved by veteran regiments of the Astra Militarum and Skitarii.

Mars/Alpha pattern - Less a weapons difference (As with all the above variants) and more a cosmetic change, Mars/Alpha pattern Leman Russ tanks feature an increased interior capacity; for this reason, they are favoured as command tanks. When used as a command vehicle the Salamander acts as the personal transport of the Imperial commander during the battle, and is usually outfitted with enhanced communications equipment. The Salamander Command is not meant for front-line combat, and is usually used as just an officer transport vehicle that allows the company or regimental commander to keep in touch with his units. Of all the numerous creatures in the Warhammer world, Chimeras are easily the most warped, even amongst their Chaos-tainted brethren. No-one knows about their ancestral origins, for they are so terribly warped that no two ever look the same. The differences are not purely visual, for some Chimeras might spew flame or bite limbs off with the tail-mouth, while others have developed poison glands or metallic skin to protect them in battle and others still can breathe fire. [4a] Emperor's Wrath Artillery Company - An Emperor's Wrath Artillery Company will begin the Imperial Guard's march to war, preceding the troops and vehicles with a thunderous barrage of heavy artillery fire. The battlefield is turned into a smoking, crater-strewn ruin, amidst which the enemy can find no cover or shelter from the death raining down upon them. These bombardments can last for solar hours, days, weeks, or even longer, and few defences can withstand the sheer destruction that is unleashed. These companies usually consist of three ordnance batteries, with each battery ccomposed of up to three Basilisk or Colossus artillery tanks and a single command Chimera tank. Tyrant's Legion - The Tyrant's Legion used Chimeras against the Loyalist forces during the Badab War

The extremely rare Macharius Omega mounts the powerful Omega Pattern Plasma Blastgun. The STC for this weapon was originally discovered by Explorator-Magus Hum’nal in late M39, but a schism in the Mechanicum over the purity of its template delayed the testing and deployment of the Omega pattern weapon for centuries. While Imperial aircraft are often used to provide air support to the ground operations of the Imperial Guard and are listed here, they are in fact not Imperial Guard vehicles but are actually under the administrative control of the Imperial Navy, which controls all Imperial spacecraft and aircraft. All Imperial pilots are members of the Imperial Navy (aside from the very rare exception of the Phantine Air Corps), even when they pilot aircraft like the Valkyrie or Vulture which are engaged almost entirely in providing direct air support and transportation for Imperial Guard missions. Adeptus Arbites - The Adeptus Arbites use the Chimera for transportation during large scale planetary riots or rebellions and these Arbites Chimeras are sometimes equipped with water cannons for non-lethal crowd suppression. Let’s explore some of the most iconic factions in Warhammer 40,000. For the 10th Edition, these have been completely reworked, replacing the previous 9th Edition Codexes. Additionally, Games Workshop made all of them available for free following the launch of the Leviathan box! Conqueror - The Leman Russ Conqueror mounts a stub-barreled low-calibre Conqueror Cannon that can be fired with greater accuracy when on the move. This allows the tank to be used in an assault and infantry support capacity.

Apply weathering effects to give the Chimera a battle-worn appearance. Techniques such as dry brushing with a light grey or brown color can simulate dust and dirt. A Chimera carrying an Armoured Fist Squad and armed with a turret-mounted Multi-Laser advances on the enemy The Leman Russ battle tank is the most commonly found tank in Imperial Guard regiments. It is a simple design and one that has stood the test of time. Its versatility and relative ease of construction make it the tank most often requested by imperial officers to be attached to their infantry formations.

Annihilator - The Leman Russ Annihilator includes Twin-linked Lascannons in place of the Battle Cannon, much like the Space Marine Predator "Annihilator" variant.Elysian Pattern - This Sentinel is armed with a Multi-melta which is highly effective against light armour and infantry or a Heavy Bolter for use against infantry. It has been modified to fit inside a Valkyrie gunship and is fitted with anti-grav chutes, so it can be air-dropped into combat alongside ground troops. x1 Astra Militarum Vehicle Transfer Sheet: Included in the kit is an Astra Militarum Vehicle Transfer Sheet. This sheet features various tactical markings, numerals, and regimental heraldry, providing you with options to personalize your Chimera with the symbols and markings of your chosen regiment. The preferred combat doctrine of the Death Korps holds that either its troops not be reliant on mechanised transports or that its regiments utilise much larger and heavier transports such as the Gorgon for heavy assaults. As such, the Chimera sees limited use in the Death Korps of Krieg and most commonly as the Storm Chimera variant. Command Chimera - A variation of the Chimera used by guard officers to transport themselves and their command squads. They feature extensive vox array's and sensors such as auspex to assist in gathering battlefield information and coordinating troops. These vehicles can often be distinguished by the numerous aerials and dishes attached to the APC's rear. [12] [13] The Hellbore Heavy Mole is a super-large burrowing vehicle and is the largest of the tunnelling troop transports utilised by the Adeptus Mechanicus known collectively as "tunnellers" or "miners". It is far larger than both the Termite and the Mole, and like them utilises a phase-field generator to burrow deep underground with its massive drill, carrying many units of Imperial troops safely far below the surface of the earth, beneath enemy fortifications and formations. This allows the Hellbore to surface behind an enemy's position or the flanks of an enemy fortification at which point its troops disembark for close assault. This vehicle is equipped with Multi-Launchers and Heavy Bolters.
