===Variants=== ====Chimerro==== [[File:Chimerro.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chimerro]] The <s>camaro</s> Chimerro is a variant of the standard Chimera and is by far, the most basic modification. Armed with an auto-loading hunter-killer missile and a multi-laser. It is used by the Astra Militarum and Skitarii. As aforementioned, the Chimerro assault vehicles mount a standard [[Hunter-Killer Missile|hunter-killer missile tube]] with an [[Awesome|autoloader on the side]] of the standard multi-laser turret. This addition gives the Chimerro a powerful long-range weapon, while the multi-laser still allows it to support its disembarked infantry by mowing down enemy troops. The Chimerro maintains the full transport capacity of the Chimera and thus can be used to replace Chimeras on a one-for-one basis in Imperial forces. Chimerros can also be organized into Chimero Assault Squadrons, which are then attached to various infantry detachments. The variant has been tested and approved by veteran regiments of the Astra Militarum and Skitarii, yet GW has not made a up-to-date model for it to be used in a new Edition. ====Chimerax==== [[File:Chimerrax.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chimerax]] The Chimerax is a more heavily modified assault version of the Chimera utilized by the Astra Militarum and Skitarii, providing Imperial assaults with protection against enemy flyers and troops. It is armed with four [[autocannon|autocannons]] making it the poor man's version of the [[Hydra Flak Tank]]. Because the Chimerax are easily recognizable due to their upgraded turrets that mount four light autocannons, it makes the Chimerax somewhat vulnerable to be spotted and singled out by enemy forces. Nevertheless, these guns allow the Chimerax to lay down a curtain of fire; highly effective at keeping infantry, light skimmers and flyers at bay. However, unlike the Hydra, the Chimerax does not carry the complex tracking and ranging sensors that would make it truly effective at anti-aircraft. The Chimerax maintains the full transport capacity of the Chimera and thus can be used to replace Chimeras on a one-for-one basis in Imperial forces. Chimerax can also be organized into Chimerax Assault Squadrons, which are then attached to various infantry detachments. The variant has been tested and approved by veteran regiments of the Astra Militarum and Skitarii, yet GW has not made a up-to-date model for it to be used in a new Edition. ====Chimedon==== [[File:Chimeddon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chimedon]] The [[Thunderer Siege Tank|Thunderer Siege Tank]] of Chimeras. The Chimedon assault vehicle is the most heavily armed version of the Chimera, destroying enemy vehicles that stand in the way of Imperial advances. It is fielded by the Astra Militarum and Skitarii. Chimedons have a strengthened turret, allowing it to mount a short-barrelled [[Battle Cannon]], similar to the cannon carried by the [[Stormhammer]]. The shells fired by the Chimedon are armor-plated, and can damage enemy tanks and [[Wat|even Titans]] at medium range. The Chimedon maintains the full transport capacity, maneuverability and sturdiness granted by its Chimera hull, giving it superb tactical flexibility. However, it always lacks defensive bolters, making the Chimedon vulnerable to infantry assaults. Despite this, [[Derp|the actual model seem to discount the fluff and mounts one anyway.]] Due to this, Chimedons are not often used to spearhead assaults. The Chimedon can be used to replace Chimeras on a one-for-one basis in Imperial forces. Chimedons can also be organized into Chimedon Assault Squadrons, which are then attached to various infantry detachments. The variant has been tested and approved by veteran regiments of the Astra Militarum and Skitarii, yet GW has not made a up-to-date model for it to be used in 8th Edition. However, if your FLGS is okay with homerules, consider suggesting a Chimera with a Taurox Battle Cannon as a [[Counts As|counts as]] Chimedon. A notable coincidence is that the former medium tank of the Imperial Guard was called the [[Aurox_Armoured_Transport#Carnodon|Carnodon]], thus, as the Chimedon is effectively to the Chimera as the Razorback is to the Rhino, it could easily be named as a combination of 'Chimera' and 'Carnodon'. ====Pegasus==== ''For main page, [[Pegasus Amphibious Assault Vehicle|see here:]]'' The even ''more'' aquatic version of the Chimera, but one so modified that it requires its own page. The Pegasus has a really bizarre history/relationship with a couple of vehicles which can be further explained in the main page.
