my thinking is on this ; 25 points for a chimera which adds an autocanon, bolter 5+ save and extra bm resiliense, by removing say sentinels I can get 3 griffons plus 2 chimera for a mech inf coy. Issue is on traitor app once you purchase an upgrade it greys out, not so with the purchase of transport, which in theory means i could buy 10 extra for the mech coy for 250 point making it harder to break. I found the 1.7.5 rule but doesnt clarify if I can buy the chimeras in excess of the stands it can transport
Check the army list for confirmation . Uprades marked with * when chosen allows the option to take chimeras and only to a maximum of 1 per unit. Griffons are not marked with an * so do not allow chimeras to be chosen as upgrades.

* These upgrades may add up to one Chimera per each of their units for +25 points each. All infantry units in the formation must be transported in Chimera if any are taken but you may not take more than one Chimera per unit in the formation.
