The '''Chimera''' is the primary armoured infantry transport for the [[Imperial Guard]].  Highly durable and practical it has been used as a chassis for many other vehicles and has been in service for many thousands of years, typifying the fast moving warfare favoured by the Imperial Guard.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}
  
==Overview==
+
==Battlefield Role==
The primary role of the Chimera is to accompany tanks into battle and provide cover and support to infantry formations. When there are few tanks available, the Chimera often becomes a hard point which infantry can gather around and use as cover before charging into enemy formations while the Chimera uses its heavy weapon to great effect. Generally, the Chimera will move forwards, deploy troops and retreat to a safer position before once again moving forwards to pick up a squad should they need moving or evacuating.
+
The primary duty of the Chimera is to accompany tanks into battle and provide protection for the [[Guardsmen]] within so that they may support the tanks. Standard doctrine states that after the Chimera reaches its objective it lays down covering fire with its heavy weapons while the [[Imperial Guard Squad|squad]] within disembarks and advances.  The Chimera then falls back to a firing position from which it can still support the infantry and await orders to race forward and collect the squad again to reposition them.{{Fn|3a}}  When operating as part of an armoured advanced the Chimera often operate ahead of or on the flanks, as well as side-by-side with the [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s, providing additional weight to the tanks' massed firepower.{{Fn|1}}  Besides the added mobility, firepower and protection, Chimeras allow infantry to take extra gear, including med-kits, [[vox]] equipment and more ammunition, making them far more efficient than their foot-slogging infantry.{{Fn|3a}}  The Chimera is less useful though when forced to fight in urban settings or as part of static defenses.{{Fn|1}}
  
Chimeras, like all transports; save infantry the hard task of slogging across the battlefield. They generally carry med-kits and vox equipment, allowing the infantry to patch up and receive new orders rapidly. Troops can also resupply from the Chimera's ammo stocks, making them a far more efficient force than standard foot-slogging infantry.
+
The Chimera can fulfill additional roles and many basic variants of the standard vehicle exist.  With their communication equipment and [[scanner]]s Chimeras are suitable command vehicles, while those with [[Dozer Blades]] can clear terrain for heavier vehicles to move through or provide nighttime illumination from their [[Searchlight]]s.{{Fn|2a}}  While generally armed with a [[Multi-laser]] and [[Heavy Bolter]], those fitted with a [[Heavy Flamer]] are popular when fighting in dense terrain such as jungles and forests; usually one in three Chimeras will be outfitted as a flame tank if other infantry close support vehicles, such as [[Leman Russ Demolisher|Demolishers]], [[Thunderer]]s and [[Hellhound]]s, are unavailable. Those equipped with [[Autocannon]]s also fulfill the light anti-vehicle role, while [[Gryphonne IV]] makes a unique Chimera variant mounting [[twin-linked]] Heavy Bolters, particularly effective against dense infantry formations such as [[Ork]] mobs and [[Tyranid]] swarms.{{Fn|3a}}  Chimeras have also been used by the [[Inquisition]] to transport [[Inquisitor]]s and their [[Inquisitorial Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]],{{Fn|4}} [[Purity Seal]]s affixed to the hulls to protect the vehicles' [[machine spirit]] and its passengers from [[daemon]]ic possession.{{Fn|1}}
  
The [[Heavy Flamer]] is a common upgrade for the Chimera. It is most popular when fighting in dense terrain such as jungles or forests, and usually one in three Chimeras will be a flame tank if other anti-infantry vehicles, such as [[Leman Russ Demolisher|Demolishers]], [[Thunderer|Thunderers]] and [[Hellhound|Hellhounds]] are unavailable.
+
==Technical Information==
 
+
The Chimera is a rugged and dependable machine able to operate in the most hostile environments,{{Fn|2a}} thanks to onboard oxygen tanks.{{Fn|3a}}  It is also amphibious, able to traverse dense swamps and marshes, even rivers, in order to outflank the enemy.{{Fn|2a}}  A driver and gunner sit forward in the hull, operating the hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]], while the commander sits in the turret and operates the turret-mounted [[Multi-laser]].{{Fn|3a}}  The hull-mounted bolter can be switched out for a [[Heavy Flamer]], while the turret can instead be fitted with a Heavy Flamer, Heavy Bolter,{{Fn|2b}} [[Autocannon]] or [[twin-linked]] Heavy Bolters.{{Fn|3a}}  In the rear of the vehicle is the troop compartment with room for twelve Guardsmen and their equipment with entry and exit provided by a back access ramp.  The compartment also has mountings for six lasguns along either either flank of the vehicle, allowing the infantry within to fight from the Chimera's protective bulk, while the top hatch allows one of the embarked troopers to fire a heavy weapon, though this makes the vehicle more vulnerable to enemy fire.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3a}}  In addition the Chimera comes standard with a [[Searchlight]] and [[Smoke Launchers]], while other common modifications include [[Camo Netting]], a [[Dozer Blade]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]] and/or a [[pintle-mounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]]/[[Storm Bolter]].{{Fn|2b}}
While most vehicles can travel through certain depths of water without difficulty, the Chimera is special in that it is totally amphibious, with the ability to transport up to twelve models or six [[Ogryn]]s across land or sea. There is one access point for passengers, a ramp at the rear of the vehicle.
 
 
 
The Chimera has been redesigned into the common [[Basilisk]] and [[Hellhound]] as well as having it own turret changed several times to fight specific enemies. They have also be retrofitted as ambulances in some cases, though its most common appliance is as a troop carrier, armed with a turret-mounted [[Multi-laser]] and hull-mounted [[Heavy bolter]].
 
 
 
==Forge World Variations==
 
The [[Mars]] pattern mounts a [[Multi-laser]].
 
The [[Gryphonne IV]] pattern Chimera is armed with twin-linked Heavy Bolters in the turret. Other variants mount [[Autocannon]]s or [[Heavy Flamer]]s.
 
 
 
==Armament and Upgrades==
 
The Chimera is armed with a turret-mounted weapon of either a [[Multi-laser]], [[Heavy Bolter]], [[Heavy Flamer]], [[Autocannon]] or [[twin-linked]] [[Heavy Bolters]] and also have a hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]] or [[Heavy Flamer]]. Some Chimeras are also upgraded with some improvements, like [[Camo Netting]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Hunter-killer Missile]], [[Improved Comms]], a [[Mine Sweeper]], a [[pintle-mounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]] or [[Storm Bolter]], a [[Rough Terrain Modification]], a [[Searchlight]], [[Track Guards]] or [[Smoke Launchers]]. There are also six [[Lasguns]] placed in the hull allowing those inside to fire outwards, as well as having a large enough top hatch to allow one unit to fire out of it, but it does make the Chimera more vulnerable to attacks from above.

A Chimera moving across the battlefield[2a]

The Chimera is the primary armoured infantry transport for the Imperial Guard. Highly durable and practical it has been used as a chassis for many other vehicles and has been in service for many thousands of years, typifying the fast moving warfare favoured by the Imperial Guard.[1][2a]

Battlefield Role

The primary duty of the Chimera is to accompany tanks into battle and provide protection for the Guardsmen within so that they may support the tanks. Standard doctrine states that after the Chimera reaches its objective it lays down covering fire with its heavy weapons while the squad within disembarks and advances. The Chimera then falls back to a firing position from which it can still support the infantry and await orders to race forward and collect the squad again to reposition them.[3a] When operating as part of an armoured advanced the Chimera often operate ahead of or on the flanks, as well as side-by-side with the Leman Russ Battle Tanks, providing additional weight to the tanks' massed firepower.[1] Besides the added mobility, firepower and protection, Chimeras allow infantry to take extra gear, including med-kits, vox equipment and more ammunition, making them far more efficient than their foot-slogging infantry.[3a] The Chimera is less useful though when forced to fight in urban settings or as part of static defenses.[1]

The Chimera can fulfill additional roles and many basic variants of the standard vehicle exist. With their communication equipment and scanners Chimeras are suitable command vehicles, while those with Dozer Blades can clear terrain for heavier vehicles to move through or provide nighttime illumination from their Searchlights.[2a] While generally armed with a Multi-laser and Heavy Bolter, those fitted with a Heavy Flamer are popular when fighting in dense terrain such as jungles and forests; usually one in three Chimeras will be outfitted as a flame tank if other infantry close support vehicles, such as Demolishers, Thunderers and Hellhounds, are unavailable. Those equipped with Autocannons also fulfill the light anti-vehicle role, while Gryphonne IV makes a unique Chimera variant mounting twin-linked Heavy Bolters, particularly effective against dense infantry formations such as Ork mobs and Tyranid swarms.[3a] Chimeras have also been used by the Inquisition to transport Inquisitors and their stormtroopers,[4] Purity Seals affixed to the hulls to protect the vehicles' machine spirit and its passengers from daemonic possession.[1]

Technical Information

The Chimera is a rugged and dependable machine able to operate in the most hostile environments,[2a] thanks to onboard oxygen tanks.[3a] It is also amphibious, able to traverse dense swamps and marshes, even rivers, in order to outflank the enemy.[2a] A driver and gunner sit forward in the hull, operating the hull-mounted Heavy Bolter, while the commander sits in the turret and operates the turret-mounted Multi-laser.[3a] The hull-mounted bolter can be switched out for a Heavy Flamer, while the turret can instead be fitted with a Heavy Flamer, Heavy Bolter,[2b] Autocannon or twin-linked Heavy Bolters.[3a] In the rear of the vehicle is the troop compartment with room for twelve Guardsmen and their equipment with entry and exit provided by a back access ramp. The compartment also has mountings for six lasguns along either either flank of the vehicle, allowing the infantry within to fight from the Chimera's protective bulk, while the top hatch allows one of the embarked troopers to fire a heavy weapon, though this makes the vehicle more vulnerable to enemy fire.[2a][3a] In addition the Chimera comes standard with a Searchlight and Smoke Launchers, while other common modifications include Camo Netting, a Dozer Blade, Extra Armour, a Hunter-Killer Missile and/or a pintle-mounted Heavy Stubber/Storm Bolter.[2b]
