Chimera! (not the monster)

 Worlds are colliding. I don't know what's going on any more.

Let's roll out!

As I've mentioned before, painting vehicles doesn't come naturally to me. If I didn't get to scribble names on the turrets, I probably wouldn't bother.

The first addition to the motor pool is a Chimera transport, which fell out of favour in 8th edition, due to Guardsman already being pretty mobile when an officer is yelling at them (and also: who would spend points to protect an infantry squad?)

I think they may have more utility in the objective-squatting style of 9th Edition, and maybe they'll keep a veteran or command squad alive for another turn.

The paint scheme was simple: spray Mechanicus Standard Grey, wash all over with Agrax Earthshade, overbrush the camo pattern with Castellan Green, and then pick out the metallics with Leadbelcher and Nuln Oil. The tracks got a coating of desert texture paint, followed by more Agrax and a drybrush of Karak Stone.

This warmed me up to attempt the real workhorse of the Imperial Guard - the Leman Russ!

I can field all the turret options, thanks to some magnetisation from Leofa (although I haven't painted the other guns yet - told you vehicles weren't my strong suit), and the hull guns just push into place (which is a good thing because flamers suddenly became a good option ... as did multi meltas ... as did heavy bolters...)

And to finish off the turret, the ubiquitous tank commander with a sword. This gives me the option to use it as a Tank Commander, although I suspect that none of my turrets will be buttoned-up, as I like painting the people more than the vehicle.

I've got a couple more of these to bulk out my Guard army (just don't hold your breath for them).
