The point is my lists only ever have one infantry unit, and it's a huge blob that gets more attacks than the scouts due to having four or five times as many bodies and has at least one power weapon in for just such an eventuality. If my Chimeras are all cracked, I've probably already lost, because trying to footslog meltas to their targets via T3 Sv 5+ bodies doesn't tend to work very well.
