Editing Warhammer 40,000/5th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

===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. Always replace the hull mounted heavy bolter with a heavy flamer to discourage people from charging you. There's no reason not to unless you're sat still and if you're sat still, buy anything else instead. You also get a turret-mounted [[Multilaser|multilaser]] by default, which is pretty good against anything infantry short of anything with Space Marine stats (and even Marines will go down eventually).
** Cheap. (point-wise) You can spam them, get lots and lots of multilasers (it will please you) and a solid wall of AV12 metal.
** Makes otherwise-slow Guardsmen mobile.
** You can fire all your important shit (special weapons, aka melta and plasma) out the top hatch. Letting you fry while staying safe from retaliation. Heck, Commanders can even give orders out the top hatch.
** They also count as tanks, meaning that once your troops are on the point, you can tank shock the enemies off it and even crush some Ork vehicles and scare off the mobs.
