Sentinels with Strorm Bolters! +5pts

I present you with: Cheek Mounted Storm Bolters!

Nice paint Job! However do they really need a storm bolter? Haven't looked at the new guard codex what so ever but they seem to have gotten some nice upgrades.

It looks like a bruiser!

Sentinels have always needed some more dakka! Run a lascannon, you only have one shot, run a multi-laser, you are still a 35pt single operation vehicle. It would be nice for a squadron of the guys to be scarier. Nothing really wrong with how they are now though, but I don't see why they can't have a Stubber or Stormbolters. Due to lack of Stubbers, myself, this will most likely be the only Sentinel I will make with this conversion, for now at least.

I like it. Looks great.

Odd question: Why are the ammo drums for those mass-reactive, self propelled, explosive munitions exposed, and more to the point, over the Hunter Killer launcher that, no doubt, has a fair amount of solid or liquid rocket fuel packed into it? Seems like that might be a moderately bad idea from a design standpoint....


Engineering: The Other White Meat.

Where would you put them, Dronze? Exposed ammo cans are pretty common, so are exposed secondary missile systems (TOW for example). Can't put the Hunter-Killer under the "chin," it would get knocked off or damaged going through rough terrain, where it is now it is vulnerable to the knee of the driver's left leg, but that's correctable (progam the comp to avoid raising it to contact the launcher). Detonated small arms ammunition isn't that destructive, even to exposed troops.

I approve of this. Walkers can fire 2 weapons on the move and Sentinels (especially scout sentinels, who can more easily move through rough terrain) would benefit from this.
