Without transport, my guys tend to run (march) around without shooting
at anyone. I do use my Chimera different that Rhinos. Mostly, Rhinos
drop off thier SM and keep moving, staying well ahead to soak up
dammage. I keep my Chimeras about 15cm behine my Guardsmen to add a
little extra firepower. They may not be worth 14 pts but I usually don't
have much choice (gotta move my guys). They can be used to carry Support
Weapons if you can find some to spare.

I wish I could, but for 2 fp they are nor really worth 41 points.
