With the GSC background already emphasising mining, would it make sense to have modified Ambots representing Sentinels? As "brood brother" units, they're never going to benefit from the Cult Creed (fitting for a robot), and the Sentinel Chainsaw makes sense of their mining claws. The real question is, are they big enough?

Assuming I've got the scaling right on this, probably not. A little straightening out of the Ambot's hunched pose would give a little more height, as would extending and/or straightening the legs. Would it be enough?

You could (should) also stand the model on some rocks or similar in order to get the hight correct. However,the base size is just as important. I don't mind playing against proxies and stand-ins as long as the base och general size is correct -or close to it.

As long as it's the same height and has the same Imperial Guard weapon bits - sure!
