Pretty simple question for you mates. As it stands, I'm planning on fielding this formation (or two of them), as allies for my Elysian Drop Troops, as they fit the fluff. And atm, it basically it comes down to this. Should I go with Armored Sentinels w/Autocannons for the more durability and the option of Plasma Cannons? Or would Scout Sentinels with the higher mobility and being able to "Move Through Cover", be a far more appealing choice? Appreciate the feedback mates.

In that formation I would go with armoured sentinel, because one of the formation benefits is outflank, and outflank is the only reason to take a scout sentinel over an armoured sentinel.

I always think the higher front AV is well worth it.

makes them more useful for tying up some assault units.

Mine have been kicking the warpstuff out of bloodletters recently

+1 for the armoured.

If scout sents had stealth or something they'd be viable, because as it is A-Sents are a questionable inclusion, and the price difference does not work out at all in scout sents favor.
