Hey, I was poking through the imperial guard section of the GW site and was wondering what happened to the mortar siege tank? Or was it just a Forgeworld thing?
Also, is it still possible to do a mechanised army?

Yeah you can do all mech if you wanted. Just veterans and no platoons + Chimeras. Then whatever else you want for tankies =D

hmm... aquired the codex and it looks like regular infantry squads and platoon command squads can take chimeras, but the special weapons and heavy weapons squads can't. sad.

yeah... I like the idea, and as always I'm bigger on fluff than winability, but I'm not sure the price of a ton of Chimeras is worth the cool factor... maybe

One of the IG guys that plays out at AWC and our tournaments named Jeff Florido plays a tallarn list with like 8 chimeras. He usually did quite well with it. I forget what else was in the list aside from lots of rough riders lol

hmm... well, I have something like 40 guardsmen... and one chimera already... and the torn up wreck of another... and I like the idea of a Heavy 20 gun on a Russ....

Here's another one for y'all... I was playing a 2 V 2 game a bit back and the person I was playing with was using Guard and had a character, looked like an advisor in his command squad that allowed enemy deep striking troops within a certain distance to get shot at as they came down. Or at least that's what sounded like what happened. Problem is, I can't find it in the book anywhere and would like to use it to keep Jim's Drop Pod off of my big guns first turn if, of course, this exists at all.....

He's using stuff from the Daemonhunters Codex. It's an inquisitor with Mystics in his retinue. You can take them as an elite slot.

It's only a handful of points. 32 is all it is for the bare inquisitor and 2 mystics. So cheap and yet pretty good. There was so much of it at Adepticon last year in the team tourney
