The Chimera is the workhorse armoured transport of the Astra Militarum, carrying squads of Guardsmen into the teeth of the enemy across every warzone in the galaxy. Rugged, dependable and produced in staggering numbers, it is as much a symbol of the Imperial Guard as the lasgun itself, a rolling fortress that shelters mortal soldiers amid the horrors of the 41st Millennium.
Built to endure the harshest environments, the Chimera can ford rivers, cross ash-wastes and grind through the rubble of shattered cities. Its hull-mounted and turret weapons allow it to support the very troops it disgorges, laying down covering fire as squads storm enemy positions. Firing ports along its flanks let embarked soldiers add their lasguns to the fusillade without exposing themselves.
The Chimera's chassis forms the basis for a vast family of Imperial vehicles, from command tanks to anti-air platforms. Its ubiquity ensures that wherever the armies of Mankind march, the growl of Chimera engines is never far behind.
