Chimera

The standard armoured personnel carrier of the Imperial Guard, the Chimera can carry a variety of heavy weapons in its gun turret, such as heavy bolters, autocannons and heavy flamers, although the multilaser is most common weapon. It also mounts a hull-mounted heavy bolter or heavy flamer, and 6 hull-mounted lasguns on the sides which can be fired from the passenger compartment, making it akin to a modern infantry fighting vehicle. It can carry up to 12 men. The Chimera has amphibious capabilities, allowing it to take part in naval assaults.

There are three specific close variants of the Chimera named; the Chimedon, Chimerax and Chimerro. The Chimedon replaces the gun turret weapon with a battle-cannon, while the Chimerax has four linked autocannons in the turret. The Chimerro is the standard pattern Chimera with a 'Hunter-Killer' missile mounted on the turret in addition to the multilaser.

The Chimera chassis is the basis for many other Imperial vehicles.
