Not usually a good idea,

Did you try making sure the path was right?

It should be either:
Units\NightElf\Chimera\Chimera.blp
-or-
Textures\Chimera.blp

If that doesn't work, try spelling Chimera like Chimaera.

You can always check the path with Magos Modeleditor -> open MPQ and find the file. Anyway I do it for you.

it is: units\Nightelf\Chimaera\Chimera.blp

Try that path.

If it still doesnt work check if you blp was correctly convertet (with alpha).

Check it with wc3Viewer.

That should fix it.

CombatTheVombat: You could have a point, but really thats no way to write it. And he mentions the editor which I pressume is world editor. And he mentions a tutorial so I doubt that is the only thing that is wrong.

And to be more precise it is not so good an idea to open it in model editor and change the texture, as that would create a new unit. If he simply wants to skin it he would just have to import the skin he made to world editor with the right path (which I gave) and in my ears it sounded like he tried doing so. And then to test his skin opened it with the viewer and forgot it wasnt attached to any model.

Be more polite.

No, it's against the rules.
