The sentinels don't necessarily win on pts, but they are not massively more expensive especially when compared to their increased mobility and survivability. The cost difference is the same for plasma cannons, which the heavy weapons squad cannot take. Lascannons, the sentinels are 150, and the heavy weapons squad is 105pts. Definitely cheaper, but a far easier to destroy, and are very limited in their ability to reposition. A three man heavy weapon squad with heavy bolters or autocannons cost 75pts. At base, three armored sentinels with Multi-lasers cost 120pts. The sentinel can be shaken, but infantry can be pinned or fail morale checks, so this is more of a draw. The sentinel is a walker, so it can move and shoot with no issues. Yeah there is the order for the emperors shield platoon, but that formation is not exactly worth it. Second point of comparison, moving and shooting. While sentinels can potentially be one shotted, armored sentinels will require AP 2 or 1 shooting to do it, and personally I would rather them be taking a melta shot than a leman russ. Heavy weapons teams are only T3 so are easily doubled out by S6+ shots. Both have two wounds, sure its technically Hps for sentinels, but both have the same number. Opened topped is a killer for scout sentinels, especially given the cost of camo netting, which isn't bad for something like a hydra or leman russ, but for these guys it really is hard to justify the additional 15 pts per model for the camo netting.Īs I mentioned, sentinels are nothing more than heavy weapons teams. With the current costs and rules, the Armored sentinel is the standout winner, and even more so with the formation that they can be taken in. The Armored is the same, except it can take a plasma cannon for 10pts.

The scout can upgrade its weapon to an autocannon or missile launcher for 5pts, and lascannon for 10.

Both come stock with Multi-laser or Heavy Flamer (its a free "upgrade"). The Armored is 40pts and is not opened topped and has AV12 front armor. The Scout is 35pts with AV 10 all around and opened topped, has Scout and Move through Cover. The sentinel comes in two variants, Scout and Armored. When comparing them to heavy weapons teams/squads, you can see what advantages and disadvantages they have. In short, sentinels are nothing more than mobile/armored heavy weapons teams. That being said, they are useful and can fill a role in your army, as long as you keep in mind their limitations and what they essentially are. Now I don't completely agree, as most of the disappointment has as much to do with what people want them to do, which may not match up with the lore of the vehicle. Sentinels, one of the best models in the Imperial Guard range, and yet considered to be one of the most disappointing on the table.
