Vehicle Descriptions

M30 Chimera

The Chimera APC is one of the work-horses of the Imperial Guard, it has six firing ports for the embarked troops, a turrent mounted Multi-Laser (sometimes upgraded to an Autocannon or Heavy Flamer) and a hull mouted Heavy Bolter.

The Chimera is also amphibious and is able to cross most inland water obstacles with relative ease - it is also capable of amphibious landings if seas aren't too rough.

M33 Hellhound

Based on the chassis of the Chimera, the Hellhound totes a large flamer known as an 'Inferno Cannon'. It is feared by all enemies because of its ability to cover a wide area with flames and cause horrific losses to units that cluster together. They instill fear in a target unit, forcing the enemy to take various checks to find out if they run or bunker down. They have large promethium fuel tanks on the rear chassis of the vehicle  that replace the troop carrying capacity of a standard chimera and the members of the tank crew are often gleeful pyromaniacs.

P-5001 Sentinel Squadron

These small squadrons of walkers can carry a variety of heavy weapons, depending on the pattern of the Sentinels, and bring high levels of power and maneuverability together in one place. They are lightly armored however, and are susceptible to light arms fire. They are often employed as scouts and can be used for defending the flanks of other units or striking forward to take out medium-heavy armored infantry or vehicles.

Sentinels are ideal scouting vehicles, and their pilots are often forced to use their own initiative - qualities not always fostered in Imperial soldiers. Many of these pilots are highly individualistic and have a reputation as insubordinate mavericks. When not pressed into service as scouts, Sentinel Squads are often used to harry the flanks of enemy formations or act as mobile anti-armor squadrons.

M22A3 Leman Russ Exterminator Infantry Combat Vehicle

Perhaps one of the oldest recorded variants of the basic Leman Russ, the Exterminator is still a common sight among Imperial Guard regiments that face massed, lightly armored infantry such as Orks or Tyranids. The Exterminator is armed with twin-linked auto-cannon and heavy bolter sponsons, making it an extremely powerful antipersonnel weapons platform that is capable of cutting down large numbers of lightly armored targets in the blink of an eye. The sheer lethality of its weapon ensures that it still sees regular service.

Sometimes the Exterminator is also utilized as a stopgap measure for anti-air defense due to its rapid firing speed.
