I think the Shimeddon is a good idea but totaly over Powered .It cost the same like a shimera and have many more Weapons(It have the same Weapon like the Conqueror and the cost for a conqueror an more than double the cost.)
i Think it can compared with a Razorback it cost 35 Points in the Space Marine Army (But the Shimeddon is much better than a Razoback ) so the cost must be more than a from a Razorback to make it balanced.
I'd have to disagree - The Chimedon is comparable to a Razorback, yes, but it costs 25 points too, in the most recent Marine lists. It has about the same firepower (the Chimedon has more shots, but the razorback has better quality), and the Razorback has ATSKNF.
It has slightly better shooting than a Chimera, which in compensation can carry 2 stands each, and which costs slightly less too.
I think the Chimedon is good as it is - the only iffy proposition is the large numbers that can be included in a formation (consider Skitarii + Mole Mortars + Rapiers + Chimedons, that's a formation with 44 units, 22 of which are Chimedons... It'll cost 1125 points, though, so it is probably not a good idea, but it would be interesting to see).
