Howdy,

I found a blog that has a recently assembled new sentinel kit, plus some pics of the leftover bits (tons!). Its a plasma-cannon equipped version with armored cab.

**Clthomps**

Good find!

**Wannabe Writer**

Shiny. I can see a lot more people taking sentinals now they can be given plasma cannons. I like the vertical missile pod too, although I think I'd convert it by putting it ontop of the armoured cab like a missile rack.

**George Spiggott**

I see all the weapons are on there, ideal for re-equiping multiple old sentinels.

**bubber**

gotta to love the multi-pose legs to.
stalk tanks here i come!

**J'santai Khan**

Those legs look pretty close to the last ones. Still VERY cool..

**BrookM**

Ah, those legs will do nicely for my Elysian drop Sentinels.

Good find mate!

edit.

Check that HK missile, now that's one worthy of the Imperial Guard, not like that dopey stubby thing we got now.

**Agamemnon2**

Hm, looks impressive. Too bad he didnt think to take a pre-build picture of the sprues. It looks like both the "knee" and the "heel" of the legs are reposable, for nigh-infinite variety.

EDIT: Oh, somehow I missed the first link. NM. Good pics.

**JD21290**

these look like some great kanz after some chopping

has to be one f the better kits GW has made.

(i vote the nobz box as one of the best so far for parts)

**Wannabe Writer**

With all this cool Impish Guard stuff coming out I am sorely tempted to scrimp and save and start a Guard army. Would certainely have a fair few of plasma cannon armed sentinels in it

.

**Reecius**

Sweet, I have two old style sentinals sitting in my "too be built" pile. With two new sentinal kits, I can make anything out of them!

**BrookM**

Cadian pattern Sentinels with properly fitting extra armour components.

**LunaHound**

Yay! cant wait to get a few to mix with my current ones.

auto cannon / plasma cannon / missle launcher? here i come xD

oh and armored compartment with cadian heads too!

*edit : wait what happens to las cannon ones? dont tell me they took it out of codex????

**BoxANT**

Man, plasmasents look great

**BrookM**

LunaHound wrote:*edit : wait what happens to las cannon ones? dont tell me they took it out of codex????

The lascannon is on the frame and still present.

**NO_SUCH_LUCK**

Lascannon still there.

D'oh too slow

**Platuan4th**

I want at least 6 of these(3 PC, 3 LC to go with my older LC ones), maybe 9(3 ML).

**alarmingrick**

as sweet as the plasma toting sentinel looks, i feel it's Points will cause it to not be the most popular choice.

**JD21290**

this may tip me over the edge here

any idea how many you can field in an army?
if its under 15 im not interested

**Wannabe Writer**

Not seen anything about sentinels in the new codex yet, but I would guess the limit would be 9. 1-3 as one Fast Attack choice x 3.

I agree with you wannabe, 1-3 sentinels per squad and 3 choices to fill fast attack up, couple that to the 1-3 leman russ squad as 1 HS choice = 9 tanks, plus apc's with infantry in them gee whizz mechanised army or what buddy?

( plots over doing ultramar pdf

)

i like the options on the sprue too, definite thumbs up to gw for doing this with their kits nowadays. I see some dynamicly posed sentinels popping up over the next few months!

**H.B.M.C.**

Colour me impressed - the kit comes with the HK missile. Didn't expect that.

I have *counts quickly* 21 Sentinels... I hate having incomplete units, so I'll need another 9. Perfect - 3 Plasma Cannon, 3 Missile Launcher and 3... something else.

**Lyquis**

The armored ones are HS, i believe, so that would be 18.

**JD21290**

ok, this now has my interests

ill take sents over valks any day

(mainly for looks)

18 sounds good, shame its not possible for more though.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Can you not have more if you attach them to Command HQ are support? Dunno if thats possible in the new Book?

**LunaHound**

Not sure about armored company, but if:

3x3 fast attack

3 more from the HQ choice. Thats atleast 12.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Are the closed top ones AV12? Or was that just a rumor?

**LunaHound**

I believe its confirmed.

**Wannabe Writer**

Freakin' sweet. Imperial Guard here I come!!!!

**Necros**

I was never a big fan of sentinels mostly because they reminded me of my old warwalkers for my eldar a while back that never did much since they were so fragile and easy to kill. I like the idea of the new tougher sentinels though. I could see me adding a squadron of them, prolly with magnetized weapons so I can swap em out depending on the game.
