Transport: CHIMEDON
Chimedon assault vehicles have had their turret strengthened to mout a short barreled battle cannon similar to those carried by a Leman Russ. The battle cannon's powerful armour-piercing shells can easily smash opposing tanks, giving it tremendous tactical flexibility when combined with the Chimera's sturdy and maneuverable hull. They provide supporting fire for platoons of infantry which are facing enemy armour or dug-in infantry. They are also used in the mobile formations such as the SOCs and armoured cavalry to replace tanks. Type: Tank. Crew: Imperial Guardsmen. Weapons: The Chimedon is armed with a turret-mounted battlecannon and a hull-mounted heavy bolter. Options: A Chimedon may be given upgrades from the Vehicle Upgrades in the Valhallan Armoury. |
