So the previous Sentinel-tastic list didn't have the firepower I had hoped... Also needed some more screens.

- Your Combat Patrol Detachment must only consist of units from a single ITC faction.

- No model may have toughness 8 or higher.
- No model may have more than 6 wounds, unless it is a dedicated transport. Dedicated transports may have a maximum of 10 wounds
- Dedicated Transports may only be taken for a unit that is capable of embarking in it
- Lords of War, HQs, and Fortifications are not permitted
- Forge World units are not permitted
- No named or unique characters/units are allowed
- You may not include more than 40 models or 250ptsof any one type of model (e.g. Conscripts). Unit champions (or equivalent) count towards this total.
- Units cannot increase their model count above their starting size through any means

- Summoning is not allowed
- Relics are not allowed
- Warlord Traits will be used as normal. If you have any models with the character keyword, one of them must be chosen as your Warlord. Warlords without the character keyword do not generate warlord traits.
- Specialist Detachments are allowed

I can only assume everyone thinks it is inspired

is it worth the cost of a platoon commander for a warlord trait? I didn't think guard had anything ground breaking, but I guess orders are a thing... shame you can't issue em to anything if your 2 squads are in transports?

I like the format though, stealing for when mates come over

We have practised with it a bit. Leisurely games take about 60-75 minutes with it. It seems neat for those that like a pared down 40k.

Well he is cheap, and it feels fluffy to have the officer in charge. In terms of rules benefit... He basically can order the troops to fire their lasguns again, or hop into the chimera after firing the guns. 8 lasgun shots per squad isn't earth shattering, but its handy against other weak infantry. At a pinch he can hop in the Chimera and fire its 6 lasguns (silly rule). With a 5+/5++ and 3 wounds I will have to keep him hidden but it feels silly making a Chimera or Sentinel the boss. Ha, could put the Ogryns in charge

The full rulepack is on the meetup.com event, possibly on the facebook page too for The London Warhammer Gaming Guild
