Re: Plasbattery tactic you don't actually have to tell your opponent what is/isn't in a transport when you deploy it... you simply must deploy it when the squad deploys! (granted it's still a pretty easy guess that a chimera deployed as an elites choice contains hardened vets.)
i would personally just rely on the vets infiltrating or take drop troops and deep strike them to their target!
as for taking care of enemy termies, considering how prevalent deep striking librarians + command squad is around here, (curse fear of the darkness!) i would instead take a platoon command squad or two w/3x plasma guns + vet medic and ally a deamonhunter =I= w/2 mystics. pretty much stops anything nasty from trying to drop in for a visit, or else they get a load of plasma to the face before they can do anything!
cheers!
