Hive Fleet Chimaera are basically Cybermen[1] in Tyranid form. Their goal is to consume all Tyranid creatures, in addition to all the other races, and combine them under one hybrid banner, hence the name. They began as a newfag (the one writing this article) asking for help with fluff, and grew from there.

Some Fluff
Hive Fleet Chimaera is a Medium-Class Splinter Fleet of Hive Fleet Dagon whose goal is to reabsorb other Tyranids and unite them under one hybrid fleet, hence the designation. Their strategic tendencies change with whatever enemy they’re facing, as they are highly adaptable to whatever situation they’re in. They are special in the fact that all of their creatures above Rippers and Gaunts/Gants have the Ymargl Factor, and therefore can adapt readily. Instead of Tyranid Warriors, Malanthropes are commonly seen leading troops, as they alone can determine what is useful and what is not for their troops to adapt. This Fleet is currently in a war of attrition with the Storm Wardens on the planet Echidna of the Calixis sector.
Tactics
The Chimaeran Tyranids are highly adaptable, and reflect that with all of their units except for Hormagaunts, Termagants, and Rippers have Advanced Ymargl Factor, which allows them to have their Ymargl factor bonuses as long as they want. In addition, any unit with the Easily Adaptable and Synapse traits can share their Ymargl factor upgrades. On top of that, Malanthropes can now use their Grasping Tail anytime, have Synapse and Psyker Mastery 1, and can be taken as HQs.
Physical Description
There really is no standard Hive Fleet Chimarea Tyranid, but most have at least one adaptation and have a Abbadon Black carapace, a Liche Purple body, and Lothern Blue weapons/claws. The one exception to this rule is The Crimson Abomination, who replaces Liche Purple with Wazdakka red.
