How would lets say a IG Sentinel leave combat in any way if it chooses to?

It cannot, in the rules, leave combat voluntarily.

The only "standard" way is to have Hit and Run - and the sentinel doe snot have hit and run.

Well, the Big Red Book is rather unhelpful on that note. I presume it can leave like a normal vehicle, seeing as how it doesn't have a leadership value. Though I'm not sure if it's possible to catch a walker with a sweeping advance...

Page 73 of the rulebook. The first sentence of Walkers and Assaults says that "make assault moves and can be locked in combt with enemy units." The second to last sentence in that section makes them not subject to sweeping advance because they neither make morale checks nor are subject to No Retreat!.

In short, a walker is completely unaffected by being on the losing side of a combat.

Hmm, interesting

By killing everything it is in assault with.

or making them run away if they lose combat?

well, to be honest, when your sentinel is locked in combat, consider him lost. It'll die, or fight for the rest of the game with 1A, 3WS and no power weapon.

I agree that walkers cannot leave combat voluntarily. This, however, makes them a great last-resort tarpit unit - an armored sentinel can keep almost any kind of infantry not wielding S4+ powerfists and melta-bombs locked in combat for a long time.

Unless it's an Ultramarines Walker, then it leaves combat by Punching up a few Avatars and then dingle handedly wiping out a Hive Fleet.

I can't wait for a definition of "dingle handing" someone....

Especially when it involves a POWER FIST!

Better yet, a chainfist, hitting up the rear armor, with DOUBLE PENETRATION dice..., though the double penetration dice would be wasted on a Canonesse...the regular power fist(ing) is enough
