Possible limited use vs Drop Pods now.
Plenty of armies can now Turn 1 Deepstrike or equivalent.
BA Captains, Orks Da Jumpin,
GSC, Space Marines etc.
The other issue is marines now have prevalent units that will deploy close to your lines. And your "scout" sentinels may not even be able to use their abilities to move foward because of it.
And 99% of the time they are free kills for enemy heavy weapons as you try to hide your own armor.
Guard scout sentinels need to have their rules changed so they can be placed in the deployment phase just like other unit scouts. Our other alternatives are ratlings and they are in the same ballpark of liability as sentinels.
