Armoured Sentinels are GOOD! | 10th Edition | Astra Militarum Tactics 

I've successfully done this once and the look on my opponent's face was so great. However, it's so hard to kill these guys, in other games they've killed 2 of my sentinels and left the last one alive. I've run them as individuals recently.

Y'know having claws like a raptor (I mean the real-life birds) would make sense. Or a cassowary.

I tried the ML for the frag the infantry/krak heavy targets and got mixed results. Sometimes it is better to specialise before the game starts.

@@benbaxter1047 yeah pretty much my feelings it does alright but it lacks the reliability of a dedicated unit. That said it is a good unit at moping up something if you didn't quite finish it off since it does ok against most things. Lets you be a bit more efficient with your firepower

I think that the extra AP nets you more wounds overall as a take all comes weapon in this vehicle/monster/Terminator meta, and the blast helps against chaff

@@berkzers exactly so!

You also might kill your last sentinel instead of them countering reinforcements on it entirely by not killing the unit fully.

its called mechwarrior lol

Yeah I noticed that I may have to re think of the ML is bad or not. As you can stand still and get 3+ to hit then re roll to wound from being armored sentinel, from both those it feels kinda reliable to do something. I still don’t think the heavy weapon choices have good parity for choice but ML does have some points in its favor.

Sentinels can be revived

I had one AS hold off a bloodthirster for 3 whole turns in melee. Idk how lol.

@@mastergmoore they truly are the Emperor's greatest war machines

True though melta is str9 this edition.

You can pick and choose

bro, i bought cadia stands AND a combat patrol. i'm looking to get a 3rd patrol after i get these ones glued. everything in that box is gold, even if you dont need all the FOB's. even if you remove the FOB's, the box is still a solid discount, and if you dont want the FOBs you can use their bits for other units. what i've done is turned my command squad leaders into Death Korp Marshals and Cadian Castellans, replacing them with the FOB Sgts in my command squads. Thats like another $60 in units just from a simple conversion. These boxes are fantastic!

You would have to drop 1 basilisk or drop reg attach and 2 scout sents to run this list now with the point increase btw

Dont forget to fix bayonets...to the feet😂

I use them to screen and block movement they lock the opfor for at least 3 turns.

Use them as blockers, move up, shoot and charge some big important unit or monster and force them to stay there and kill you and then respawn.

@@MrGeorocks if id need a unit for that id rather throw empty taurox at those targets. cheaper, a lot faster (12), 8def, 10 wounds, arguably even slightly shootier. and id still not put any taurox in my army (and my ress per turn strat will probably be used for something more valuable anyways).

That’s why I think the true sleeper option is actually heavy flamer with these guys. It means you can be very aggressive with them and use them as move blockers, which will have both strong overwatch and the ability to flame in combat. Auto hitting means they do not need order support, with ignores cover they’re pseudo AP-2 baseline. S5 is nice for infantry and mobile hunter killers means they wound bigger things up to T9 on 5+ with a re-roll.

@@cavemansam8400 I am definitely a fan of that build. Similar to being aggressive with a Demolisher, you have an option to tie up enemy units while not really sacrificing firepower. This has the chance to shut down enemy firepower. This can also deny enemies forward movement. If you wait to allow your opponent to charge, you are giving them another move to push up the table. Whether or not it's a good idea has mostly to do with the enemy unit in question. And while the sentinels might die, they can come back. I think the Lascannon build is just because people want to squeeze in extra anti-tank in their list. But since a triple flamer sentinel squad still gets their HKs (and get them back on a respawn), this load out still adds something to the Anti-Tank.

55? Lets not.. go that low

I like the missile launcher, it's not specialised but it's good enough at everything. Frag to take on chaff units and krak for power armoured or tank units. I think an opening volley with them standing still to get the +1 for the missile launcher could do some serious damage. St9, AP-2 and Dam D6 isn't bad when you can re-roll the to wound roll.

goddamnit

Still bad but yeah more interesting
