| Post subject: | Hellhounds or Chimeras |
I have a question for more experience epic players. I've been assembling some more miniatures for my ToEG Imperial Guard, and I've hit a conundrum. I have 12 assembled chimeras, 6 unassembled chimeras, and 3 hellhounds. It would be a simple conversion to change the hellhounds into chimeras (literally, just put a different turret on them and NOT put on the napalm tanks). 21 Chimeras give me enough for 3 Mechanized Infantry Platoons. So, the question is, does it make more sense to assemble the hellhounds as chimeras, or would 3 additional hellhounds (I already have 3 assembled and painted) be a more useful addition to an Imperial Guard force? Thanks! |

Chimeras, pretty rare to use more than 3 hellhounds |

If using Steel Legion - Chimeras If using Ulani or Cadians - Hellhounds |

Magnets! You can get rare earth magnets that size; it's really not hard to magnetize turrets. That said, I would agree wholeheartedly with E&C's answer - Hellhounds as a Company upgradeare mediocre. Hellhounds as a formation are very good. |

Thanks! Looks like the consensus is chimeras. This was were I was leaning too. Using magnets is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well it would work with the napalm tanks on the back. Thanks again! |
