A war walker with one scatter laser costs 45 points. That's the exact same cost as a sentinel with a multilaser. Your argument is pretty invalid considering you can configure the war walkers to be exactly the same as the sentinels if you wanted.

War walkers are a lot worse at higher point games (say 1750+), but in the 1000 to 1500 point range I think their value increases drastically. They're definitely not a poor unit selection. They aren't the most survivable, but you should be able to make 180 points back with 24 str 6 shots without too much difficulty. If you're finding they aren't making their points back, you can cut a few guns from the squad until they reliably do so.
