Imperial Guard Light Tank Tactica P1

I have two chims that i move together. I put one in front sideways and pop smoke with it. The second one pulls up behind it, making a T shape. The one in front has a 4+ cover from the smoke, and the second one is an Obscured Target due to the front chimra.

I can do that twice, with the second tank going in front the second time.

It works moderately well, because 50% of the time the front one dies (4+ is only gonna save ya half the time) lol.

your stuff is well painted btw.

the fact that you turn the lead vehicle sideways makes me cringe a little, you are deliberately exposing the braod side of a barn to the enemy at AV 10. That 4+ save will quickly fail with the amount of cheap firepower the vehicle will take. It can work, thogh. I find its usally better to try to keep the AV12 facing and if you want to do the same thing just rn up a flankso you can obscure the other chimera while showing a smoked AV12.

Thats true. Turning it sideways is just a way to make sure the second chim is obscured by the most number of Lines of Sight. Youre right about turning the av10 side armour towards the enemy being bad though.....
Its tough to do this with only 2 chims. I guess the best solution is to use 3 chims.

That's why there have been so many lists with chimera spam. relatively cheap wall of AV12

thanks for all the comments BTW!

funny how cheesy the outflank as become with the imp guard

LOL :P

plus i like having sentinels behind my line of armor. first wave: heavy tanks second wave: sentinels third wave: troop transports carrying troops

Sentinels behind armour sounds a bit aloof to me, I suppose you could use em that way.. but they are scouts, so what about outflanking them. OR Do you mean as armoured sentinels providing anti-tank support? close combat tie-up?

yeah i meant armored sentinels. sorry for the mix up, i never use scout ones.
