David Ravel Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Greetings everyone, When Codex : Inquisition went out, I buyed the Chimera Inquisition doors, but finally I didn't build it right away (instead built my Valkyrie to transport them). Now that the rules of Chimera have changed in the IG/AM Codex, I feel like the nerfhammer is coming to the Inquisition too. Since I prefer the Razorback anyway, and that its clearly superior to the AM Chimera, I felt like changing my plans and putting my Inquisition in Razorback. So my question is this : do you guys think I can salvage those door and do something with them to make them fit a Rhino/Razorback ? I would prefer that than buying Rhino doors and having Inquisition Chimera doors completly useless. Thanks.

Leonaides Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Wow - you think the Razorback is superior to the Chimera? Less armour, less firepower, less troop capacity, costs about the same if you upgrade the weapons. Off the top of my head, i suspect you wont really be able to do anything with those doors until you build a chimera unfortunately.

WarriorFish Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I doubt you can convert the Chimera's rear door without a lot of chopping and changing, such that I don't think it'll be worth it.

crazyterran Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think I'd rather have the Chimera... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299436-chimera-doors-vs-rhino-doors/#findComment-3866035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ravel Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I have a IG/AM army of tanks (6 Leman Russ and 6 Chimera), and I don't like Chimera as they are right now. BS3 str 6 vs a twinlinked assault cannon bs 4 ? Big difference. Of course you can spam them and have a wall of AV12, but I won't be spamming them with my Inquisition, so it's irrelevant : if people have anti-tank, it can be Chimera or Razorback, they won't survive (and if they do, it's with luck because of cover, not because of AV12). When you have LR all over the place, people don't shoot Chimeras, so they shine being able to destroy others transport (Rhino, Dark Eldar stuff, etc.). But if you only have 3 Chimera on the table at 1000 pts+, they're gonna be useless piece of junk. I much rather have (for the same price) some assault cannon shot because it blows up than multi laser shot. It's all about context, in this context, Razorback > Chimera anytime (to me at least). Have you guys read the same Chimera that I did ? lol It's not anymore 5 fire points. Also you seems to tell me there's nothing to do with those doors, so I guess I'll build my Chimeras anyway. Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299436-chimera-doors-vs-rhino-doors/#findComment-3866179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Why not build the Chimera and modify either the turret or back plating to take the Razor's turret/weaponry and counts as? As long as you're willing to do it for as many "Razorbacks" as you're going to have in your list most shouldn't have a problem with it.

David Ravel Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 @Grotsmasha : I must say I had not thought about that. I will see with my gaming group if they have any problem with it, and I'll do this. Thanks for the suggestion !
