Damn, I don't really fancy the old design, but if the priceincrease will be that steep, it'll have to be one helloua new model to make me feel good about it.
I also like my chimeras with standard configuration, so I won't feel good about paying for an heavy bolter that i won't use...
But, speaking of improvements, do you think that the actual model will in any way?

Step 1: Make 5th edition need Mech Lists.
Step 2: Increase Price of Mech models.
Step 3: Purchase classy hookers with additional funds.

I thought her dog looked smart, therefore, Galatea should be smart. Galatea's dog won't be fooled by GW's crazy marketing plans...

I can't believe they didn't increase the price. Must be a typo. Good enough update, though a senseless waste of money on their behalf making a near identical version of something that looked good and was still going to be bought in the same quantities. I don't mind GW giving us nice things, but when they loose money we suffer for it in the long run.

At least, the turret weapons are all included, and they are easily 'swapable'.

Well just have to find a way around the new icon bits, and we'll be set.

Do the 'Aquila-Scrapers' know what penalties await them in the dungeons? All legal, mind! Just check your standard issue Uplifting Primer..

Those of you in the Aquila-Scrapers club will be overjoyed. No, because we remove silly Imperial skulls, iron crosses and other stuff as well. At least I do... And this bïtch doesn't come with a fuel barrel and the side hatches fitted in place. You know, the old holes where you could place the barrel or side hatches manually. I had one side of the barrel glued at each hole, looked sweet. I'm glad I don't have to buy more Chimera patterns.

The long and short of it is: they want to charge more for something that should cost less, if not the same. Games workshop strikes again *shudders... then pays money anyway*

I was going to build mine today...
going to go to the hardware store for some glue and everything.
but I got sick and spent the day in bed instead.
Bah.
lots of goodies on those two frames though... I like the bits they included for the tank commander and a dozer blade too!
Hm...not going to use it though...the whole point of me getting a 4th chimera was to make it cheap so I could squeeze it into lists where the points are tight.

Yeah, almost everything from the Vehicle Accessory Sprue is still there in one form or another, and often improved. The Dozer Blade, for instance, no longer sticks way the heck out in front of your tank.

I don't mind GW giving us nice things, but when they loose money we suffer for it in the long run. Actually it's the most brilliant move GW has probably made in a while. They're streamlining all kits to be more efficient production/cost/assembly wise with regards to all kits that belong to the same chassis family. They've taken all of the vehicles that shared the same chassis as the Chimera and made it so that to make a variant with that chassis all that's required to produce it is to make a chassis sprue (treads, chassis, body) and vehicle specific sprue (earthshaker cannon sprue for a Basilisk for instance). This might seem like a total waste of time; for instance when I looked at the new Basilisk kit I was very disappointed (no wait, down right angry) that the other artillery options weren't available. I've got my fingers crossed now that they have a single sprue for the Chimera chassis models that they will start to develop sprues for the other vehicles (Hydras, Deathstrike maybe?) by just throwing the chassis sprue in the box and having they're developers come up with a second sprue for the specific vehicle.
