===Dedicated transports=== *'''[[Chimera Transport|Chimera]]:''' This is the gem of the [[Metal_Boxes|MEHTAL BAWKS]] world. It makes the Guard competitive at high end play. Heavy Bolter Snap firing with Multilaser? This has become the hate machine it was supposed to be. But nothing stops you from Snap Firing Multilaser with Flamethrower. Or use Hunter-Killers to demolish enemy vehicles. Saw a small price increase and got a new rule Lasgun Arrays : 6 models can use the 2 arrays to fire lasgun shots regardless of the chimera's movements ( They can still only fire Snap shots in case of crew shaken/stunned ) using the transport's BS, each array being able to fire independantly from the other or the Chimera itself. Still amazing. Other points of this fine vehicle: ** Cheap (point-wise). You can spam them, get lots and lots of multilasers (it will please you), and a solid wall of AV12 metal in front. ** Makes otherwise-slow Guardsmen mobile. ** You can fire all your important shit (special weapons, which is, Melta and Plasma) out the top hatch, but only 2 models can fire according to new rules. Letting you fry while staying safe from retaliation. Heck, Commanders can even give orders <s>out the top hatch</s> measured from any point of the Chimera's hull (p. 39). ** They also count as tanks, meaning that once your troops are in position, you can tank shock the enemies off the point and even crush some Ork vehicles and scare off the mobs. ** Forge World blessed us with two extra turret weapon options - TL Heavy Bolter and... Autocannon! Rejoice! *'''Taurox''' A new [[Metal_Boxes|metul bawks]]. It's got 11/10/10 (With armor like that, it's more like a glass bawks but that js the same as the rhnio, thd original metul bawks so still a metul bawks. Thankfully it can reroll Dangerous Terrain, so that your troops might still have some chance to actually get to where they're needed), but it comes standard with BS3 [[Dakka|Twin linked Autocannons]] while being 15 points cheaper than a Chimera. <s>There is also a new Salvo Hotshot laser on the pintle mount. Not bad.</s>(Only on the Prime) Don't use it for your command squads because it isn't a command vehicle. **Two fire points ''on each side'', so a total of 4 making it good for vets after all. They are also not a tank or a fast vehicle (except Taurox Prime, which is limited to Stormies '''ONLY'''). Instead, give it to every squad, so they all have a cheap box to block enemy movement and an Autocannon to support them. If Chimera's goal is to get you closer to the enemies so you can [[meme|hit them with a sword]], Taurox is a wonderful fire support unit. Also, it only allows for 10 models to be transported, so you cannot have ICs accompanying the squad. *'''Taurox Prime''' The more [[dakka]] version of Taurox (appropriate, considering it looks like an ork battlewagon). Comes default with a weaker version of Leman Russ Gun (S7, AP4, blast). Can be upgraded to be a LR Punisher's weaker brother (10 shots at S4), or be armed with a Missile Launcher that shoots twice. Also comes with a twin-linked volley gun (which can be replaced by a TL autocannon). Can only be taken by new Stormies, but comes with a BS4 out of the box and it's fast. More expensive than it's Guardsman-friendly brother, but can be worth the points, if you need to plug in a point hole in your list, and you just can't fit a Leman Russ.
