I guess I just look at the DH codex and see Land Raider and how many it can carry and not even think about the Chimera aspect.Gamer Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429499308557410408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-151109730917916432010-04-08T12:23:30.352-04:002010-04-08T12:23:30.352-04:00yes they can.

Chimeras can carry Ogryn, which are Terminator size.<br /><br />Termies count as two passengers, due to their size, so a chimera can haul 6 GK Termies.<br /><br />I've used it before. It's kinda neat to ride around with a squad of termies with 2 psycannons, which can shoot the full 36" from inside the moving Chimera.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-17020682827438657222010-04-08T12:20:12.648-04:002010-04-08T12:20:12.648-04:00"Chimeras can haul both GK's and GKT'..."Chimeras can haul both GK's and GKT's with little problem"<br /><br />Chimeras can haul Terminators?Gamer Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429499308557410408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-17914557891866422622010-03-25T16:25:07.051-04:002010-03-25T16:25:07.051-04:00It's hard to find a proper analogy in other, n...It's hard to find a proper analogy in other, newer codexes similar to where the GK's are with the DH codex.<br /><br />They're good, but they alone can't be a highly effective fighting force. <br /><br />You need to use all of the tools in the box. Using Just GK's is kind of like using only boys squads and nobs on foot for orks, with 1 warboss.<br /><br />its severely limiting. Allies and Induction bring DH and WH closer to par with newer codexes in versatility and options.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-5134971111485708042010-03-24T13:46:50.047-04:002010-03-24T13:46:50.047-04:00I agree?

Not sure what else to say; even though I love GK, until they get some simple things like a reduction in cost, they're a splinter force.Jwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300981728444363555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-31993009285566222442010-03-23T16:04:05.025-04:002010-03-23T16:04:05.025-04:00(Otoshigo's alter-alter-ego) I appreciate all ...(Otoshigo's alter-alter-ego) I appreciate all the input. Like I said in SandWyrm's thread, I guess I knew the answer before I asked. I've even thrown some IA2 stuff in to help a bit, but it still doesn't address some of the bigger holes. I do like that GK Redeemer though :-) I'll just cross my fingers and hope for some GW love in the not-to-terribly-distant future.Oh, it's you, Bob...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01787537433316114469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-41222899249462755332010-03-23T16:02:26.794-04:002010-03-23T16:02:26.794-04:00Sure, Why not?

I use a GK w/psycannon for mine most of the time. I mean, he's wearing power armor anyhow.<br /><br />The Vets that are part of the =I= retinue are Veteran IST's.<br /><br />I don't think most people would balk at SM scouts with Hbolters or plasma cannons 'counting as' Servitors.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-82427378337683687752010-03-23T15:57:15.726-04:002010-03-23T15:57:15.726-04:00if it was for a modelling purpose could you make i...if it was for a modelling purpose could you make ists and =][= jus GK scouts :PFuzzbukethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164122193203655554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-21974336895317787902010-03-23T15:53:29.563-04:002010-03-23T15:53:29.563-04:00And cheaper transports. :)And cheaper transports. :)SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-4270212858048977452010-03-23T14:56:56.497-04:002010-03-23T14:56:56.497-04:001850/2k is a good size.
