Changes

The '''Chimerax ''' is a more heavily -modified assault version variant of the [[Chimera]] utilised by the [[Astra Militarum]] and [[Skitarii|Legiones Skitarii]], providing [[Imperial ]] assaults with protection against enemy flyers and troops. It is armed with four [[Autocannon|autocannons]].{{Fn|1}}

Chimerax are easily recognisable due to their upgraded turrets that mount four light [[Autocannon|autocannons]]. These allow the Chimerax to lay down a curtain of fire; highly effective at keeping infantry, light skimmers and flyers at bay. However, unlike the [[Hydra (Anti Air Tank)|Hydra]], the Chimerax does not carry the complex tracking and ranging sensors that would make it truly effective at anti-aircraftoperations.{{Fn|1}}

The Chimerax maintains the full transport capacity of the [[Chimera]] and thus can be used to replace [[Chimera|Chimeras]] on a one-for-one basis in Imperial forces. Chimerax can also be organised into Chimerax Assault Squadrons, which are then attached to various infantry detachments.{{Fn|1}}

The variant has been tested and approved by veteran [[Regiments of the Astra MilitarumImperial Guard Regiment|regiments]] of the [[Astra Militarum]] and [[Skitarii]]. {{Fn|1}}
