It's a fast-moving vehicle, which you seem to be confusing them closing to grips with the enemy as "assaulty". The armor on a Rhino doesn't need to be "excessive". Ogryn also don't like riding in Chimeras and tend to be deployed on foot, unless they have a Commissar overseeing them.Ĭ) A Chimera holds 12 combat-ready Guardsmen. They're also not 'the same or bigger than a Terminator", Terminator armor is bulkier than even an Ogryn wearing armor. It's since been abused by people to be "Can GK Terminators get into a Chimera".ī) "Ogryns". You're also missing that the GK FAQ was in response to questions about can an Inquisitor in Terminator Armour with a retinue can fit into a Chimera. But without really having the output of the engines and only the slope to go by it is sort of a guess and puts me on the fence.Īctually you raise a great point, the space marines combined weight may very well make the Chimera unusable for swift combat strikes(assuming marines can fit in it at all), Also it may have reliability issues making it dangerous for a quick strike force that needs to rely on the transport to always get them out, but if you are part of an advancing front if one piece of armor breaks down "woop-di-doo"Īlso the reliability issue would make sense for the Grey Knights, seeing as the majority of battles they fight are not against an easily stunned foe, making a vehicle that is thin plated but reliable ignored over a beefier yet less reliable design. Point being: Games Workshop really needs to figure out their fluff one of these days, who knows though, maybe confusion sells better.Īn idea I got when reading the types of slopes both are able to handle is maybe the Chimera lacks the torque to carry the marines easily enough up hills and such, actually making it slower.
As far as Ogryns, I thought they were smaller than a suited up space marine, I am certain examples exist where an Ogryn is massive, but is that the exception, or the rule amongst the breed? What we are dwindling down to at this point is GW's obnoxious ability to produce so much conflicting fluff, iirc Black Library books are considered canon, so you have the varying reports of marines barely able to squeeze into a chimera, and of course the GK codex(which lets face it has horrible fluff) where Terminators can fit in with relative ease. Oygrens are the same or bigger then a termie, and they fit up to 6. Since codex GK is cannon, it is cannon that termies can fit in a chimera, and not a rhino.ī. Space Marines take up waaaaay more space.Ī. Realistically, a Chimera probably would only be able to fit 3 or 4 marines, lying down stacked up like cordwood, since it was designed to fit 10 "normal" sized humans.

"Brother Coa (and the OP Tadashi) is like, the biggest IoM fanboy I can think of here. The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is.basically himself? Also he doesn't have a Grey Knight's unshakable faith in the Emperor. The Emperor might be the greatest psyker that ever lived, but he doesn't have the specialized training that a Grey Knight has. "The day I have a sit-down with a pansy elf, magic mushroom, or commie frog is the day I put a bolt shell in my head." They're a threat to the Imperium of Man like sharks are a threat to the US Army." I just don't like people misconstruing things to say that it means that they're somehow a huge galactic threat.
None shall stand against the Crusade of the Righteous!!!
