Yeah, but it is still a viable option, if you are going to run a mechanized force, there is no better way that I see it. The ability to get 5 Chimeras, with a few "Chancer's" backing them up with BS4 anti-armor shooters is great. All you need is a regular command squad in a chimera, grenadier's doctrine, 3 grenadier squads, you have yourself 2 HQ's and 4 Troop Choices. It is only 57 men at the most, but that is 9 Chimera's.

Using Army Builder, I just wrote up a list

HQ- Platoon, Basic w/Chimera
Last Chancers w/5 Chimera's
----Last Chancers 4 Lascannons, 7 Snipers

Troops-
3x 6man Grenadier Squads w/ Chimera's

Fast Attack

1x 2 sentinel squadrons w/ Lascannon
2x 1 sentinel squadron w/ Autocannon

Hvy Support

3x Basilisk's w/indirect fire

All Chimera's have Extra Armor, Smoke, Hvy Stubber, Track Guards, Multi-laser, Hull HB.

9 Chimera's
4 Sentinel's
3 Basilisk's

All under 2500. If i had the Chimera's I would run it at Ard'boyz.

I think just the sheer amount of fire power that these come to bear would be overwhelming. Granted they 2-3 could get taken down a turn, but if you can get them to all focus fire on one unit, that unit would be wiped off. I think just 3 Chimeras shooting 1 HB, 1 Multi-laser, and 1 Hvy Stubber a turn at one unit could cause quite a bit of devastation.
