WH40K Hellhound

Well I did say I was probably planning to use my Chimera chassis for further Imperial Guard tanks and in this case my easiest tank to make would be the Hellhound, since with this tank I only need to replace the main weapon with a flamethrower and remove the rear crew compartment (as well as the rear weapons). To accomodate the short range weapon I also decided to change the vehicles behaviour and as such it will try to get as close as possible to an enemy so that it can use it's aforementioned flamethrower weapon.

In case you are wondering, the flamer in this case is basically a short range laser with some additional particle effects added for flair.
While it probably won't last against CRAM lobbing beasts, it will cause a bit of damage and seeing that they only cost 14k RP one can swarm enemies early on (even better in combination with the Chimera tanks). I know the missile normaly used by the Chimera isn't really canon for the Hellhound, but I decided to not remove it so that it still stays somewhat viable against targets further away than melee range.

In the grimdark future, there are no warcrimes (well technically there are... but that is a matter of perspective and too many thoughts wasted on comtemplating this issue is heresy).

-Have fun.
