Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum: Chimera Armoured Troop Transport

The Workhorse of the Imperial Guard

No vehicle is more synonymous with the Astra Militarum than the Chimera. The backbone of Imperial armoured infantry operations across a million warzones, the Chimera is a rugged, reliable, and heavily armed troop carrier that has carried the Emperor's soldiers into battle for ten thousand years. It protects. It delivers. It fights. And when the mission demands it, it dies so that its passengers can live to take the objective.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Chimera, with a wealth of weapon and equipment options to tailor your vehicle to your army's needs.
