About this deal

An ancient tank design perhaps even older than the Leman Russ, the Malcador is a huge, heavy and lumbering war machine intended to smash through enemy lines and batter through fortified defences with brute force. It is named after Malcador the Sigillite, the Emperor's adviser during the Battles of Unification, and the man credited with founding the Administratum of Terra. The Malcador has several different variants based on its weapons configurations. Its design was intended to serve as a mobile anti-aircraft artillery piece in extreme situations where no other anti-aircraft capability was present that could also carry a squad of Imperial Guardsmen and provide close fire support for them.

Chimera ( Chimerax • Chimedon • Chimerro) • Hellhound • Bane Wolf • Devil Dog • Taurox • Taurox Prime • Tauros • Sentinel • Salamander Scout • Pegasus AAV • Salamander Command • Pegasus Command Storm Chimera — A configuration issued to specalised units of the Death Korps of Krieg for frontline assaults. Modified with additional extensive abalitive armour and primarily armed with an Autocannon. [10] Codex: Astra Militarum (6th Edition) (Digital Edition), "Chimeras," "Dedicated Transports - Chimera" The Leman Russ battle tank is the most commonly found tank in Imperial Guard regiments. It is a simple design and one that has stood the test of time. Its versatility and relative ease of construction make it the tank most often requested by imperial officers to be attached to their infantry formations. The Chimera is the standard armoured personnel carrier (APC) of the Astra Militarum and its chassis is the basis for a large number of other Imperial armoured vehicles such as the Basilisk artillery and Salamander scout vehicles. The basic Chimera is equipped with a Multi-Laser but can also be outfitted with a variety of other heavy weapons, such as Twin-linked Heavy Bolters, an Autocannon or a Heavy Flamer.The Leman Russ Battle Tank, named after Primarch Leman Russ of the Space Wolves, is the main battle tank of the Imperial Guard. The standard armament is a Battle Cannon mounted in the turret and heavy weapons (usually Heavy Bolters) in side sponsons and glacis plate mounting. Annihilator - The Leman Russ Annihilator includes Twin-linked Lascannons in place of the Battle Cannon, much like the Space Marine Predator "Annihilator" variant.

Add camouflage patterns to the hull of the Chimera using colors like Castellan Green and Mournfang Brown. This step is optional but can add visual interest to the model. The ecology of Chimereas is closely tied to the Winds of Magic. Chimeras appear, alone or in the hosts of Chaos, when the Winds are strong; once they begin to thin, however, they become rare even in the Chaos Wastes. They are occasionally reported in remote wildernesses, such as high passes or the depths of forests, but most of these sightings are of other, more common Chaos beasts such as Manticores. [4a] The variant has been tested and approved by veteran regiments of the Astra Militarum and Skitarii. [1] Sources Artemia pattern - The Artemia pattern differs in two key ways: it has a remotely operated turret, reducing the number of crew to two, and the cargo space is replaced with a much larger capacity fuel cell. This fuel cell is by necessity very heavily armoured. [3] Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll a dice roll that was made by adding several dice together (2D6, 3D6 etc.) then, unless otherwise stated, you must re-roll all of those dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll specific dice results, only those dice can be re-rolled. If a rule allows you to re-roll a specific dice result, but the result is obtained by halving a D6 (such as when rolling a D3), you use the value of the halved roll to determine if it can be re-rolled, not the value of the original D6. For example, if a rule states to re-roll results of 1, and you roll a D3, you would re-roll if the D6 rolled a 1 or a 2 (which is then halved to get a D3 value of a 1).

Hellhounds are typically organized into either dedicated Hellhound Tank companies or support squadrons for armoured or mechanised companies, but will rarely fight together as a complete unit. Most commanders take a flexible approach to Hellhound deployment, attaching them to other units in an ad hoc fashion as needed. [3] Cadian Pattern - This Sentinel is armed with an Autocannon and is effective against heavy infantry and armoured vehicles. Vendetta - Unlike the Sky Talon variant of the Valkyrie, the Vendetta is heavily armed and is used as a tank hunter. After dropping off its precious human cargo, the Vendetta will act as heavy air support for the ground infantry. Marauder Colossus - This variant of the Marauder was designed as a heavy ordinance bomber capable of destroying heavily fortified structures and strong-points. The next comparison the team made was in engine power. The IS-3 was considered underpowered with what they believed to be a 520 hp engine and a top road speed of 40 kph and to that end they decided to go with a 1040 bhp engine which would give it about 18 hp/ton and a top speed of 50 kph on roads. This maneuverability advantage would give the Chimera the edge in choosing where and when to strike.

When used as a command vehicle the Salamander acts as the personal transport of the Imperial commander during the battle, and is usually outfitted with enhanced communications equipment. The Salamander Command is not meant for front-line combat, and is usually used as just an officer transport vehicle that allows the company or regimental commander to keep in touch with his units. Datasheets are individual profiles that detail the characteristics, abilities, and rules for a specific unit in the game. Each unit, such as a squad of Space Marines or a tank, has its own datasheet that outlines its stats, weapons, special abilities, and any other relevant information. Datasheets provide a comprehensive overview of a unit’s rules and capabilities, allowing players to understand how they function on the battlefield. What are Indexes? Some scholars believe that, during dearths of magic, Chimeras retreat entirely into the Realm of Chaos. Others instead speculate that these creatures are called into being outright from concentrations of magic by the will of the Dark Gods. [4a] Notable

A Chimera carrying an Armoured Fist Squad and armed with a turret-mounted Multi-Laser advances on the enemy Skorpius Disintegrator • Skorpius Dunerider • Krios • Triaros • Karacnos • Land Raider • Leman Russ ( Demolisher) • Hellhound • Malcador • Rhino • Chimera • Macrocarid Explorator • Ordo Reductor Artillery Tank • Griffon • Minotaur • Chimerax • Chimedon • Chimerro • Hydra The Destroyer is a tank hunter of the Imperial Guard, it is armed with a powerful weapon known as a Laser Destroyer. The Destroyer is based off of the Leman Russ tank chassis, only with its turret ring removed and replaced with a crew access area. Due to the complexity of maintaining the Laser Destroyer and the number of Forge Worlds able to build new ones shrinking steadily the Destroyer is becoming quite a rare sight on the battlefields of the 41st Millennium. The preferred combat doctrine of the Death Korps holds that either its troops not be reliant on mechanised transports or that its regiments utilise much larger and heavier transports such as the Gorgon for heavy assaults. As such, the Chimera sees limited use in the Death Korps of Krieg and most commonly as the Storm Chimera variant. Use Cadian Fleshtone to paint the lasgun arrays along the flanks of the Chimera. Apply thin layers to achieve a smooth finish.

The Chimera is the Astra Militarum's most commonly used armoured personnel carrier (APC). These nearly ubiquitous vehicles are extremely durable and practical, capable of mounting a wide array of support weapons. From within the armoured confines of the Chimera, an Imperial Guard infantry squad can use the vehicle's hull-mounted weapons to unleash a lethal wave of firepower into an enemy, protected from all but the most heavy weapons in return.

Elysian Pattern - This Sentinel is armed with a Multi-melta which is highly effective against light armour and infantry or a Heavy Bolter for use against infantry. It has been modified to fit inside a Valkyrie gunship and is fitted with anti-grav chutes, so it can be air-dropped into combat alongside ground troops.
