Thats the game plan going forward. Main idea of this poll is to just gauge people and see what is effective currently at this time. Always have loved the fluff and the look of the Sentinels, and from what I have heard this formation is pretty good depending on the loadout. As it stands, game plan first is to field: 12x Armored Sentinels, 9x w/Autocannons, 3x wit Plasman Cannons. Thoughts on this? Or would I be better off overall just fielding all of them with Autocannons, as Sentinels only come with 2HP and there is a risk of them losing HP due to "Gets Hot" special rule. Or is it worth the risk?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9030740.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9030740.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031602.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? mm magnet in the gun/ammo pack, and 2 of them in the sentinel itself in the recesses intended for the mountings.

The pcanon in particular is very easy to magnetise as it's one piece with two mount points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031657.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031748.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031748.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031755.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031755.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels?
Lascannons would be my third option, since enough of them can kill anything. Plasma cannons are OK, but between Gets Hot and the usual issues with blasts, they don't impress me a lot. Heavy flamers are worthless if you get shaken/stunned. Missiles are just lackluster, being worse than plasma cannons against groups and worse than lascannons against single targets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031763.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031763.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031765.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031809.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031809.page GMT Re:Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels?
From there, Lascannons, because mobile long-range Tank/Monster Hunting is also in relatively short supply.

AC are good, but I put one in nearly every infantry unit.

I like Multi-Lasers, but I take them on Chimera, so lots already.

Heavy Flamers are better on Scout Sentinels, but even then, usually a waste.

Missile Launchers are crappy. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031858.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031858.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels?
Theyre not a great Lascannon platform so much (neither are thry great platforms for most anything), but it makes them a threat that an opponent has to take more seriously than an autocannon or heavy flamer, too annoying to devote real resources to killing but not totally ignorable either. The Autocannon and Multilaser options have appeal, but lacks the range of versatility of threat potential of the lascannon, which is really more what Sentinels offer than anything else.

The PC is just too dangerous to me on a 2HP vehicle, and the ML just not functional enough, while the lack of an outflank option kills the Heavy Flamer utility for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9031929.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? IMO. But multi-lasers are too weak to target vehicles effectively.
Auto-cannons provide the right balance between getting enough hits and doing enough damage. Plus they're cheap.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9032035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9032035.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels?
The look on your opponents face when he realizes his tar pit squad has been tar pitted by a single unit is priceless. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9032237.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9032237.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? HP) for each of the armoured Sentinal weapons. I've assumed that each infantry sized model unit takes 4 hits per flamer, dropping down to 1 per for MC's and the plasma cannon was assumed to hit 2 non MC's models per blast that fired and hit vehicles on directs and anything less than a 7" scatter. Explodes! results were counted as 3 HP, so the number will be slightly higher than in game.



Edit: Also, just because the field is green, doesn't mean it's a good option, just the best out of the ones available.

Some quick notes, the multilaser is better against AV10 and 11, the lascannon is better against AV12, 13 and 14. Against MC's The lascannon is still best with the heavy flamer ciming up tumps against anything smaller (assuming you can get there), with the plasma cannon being a decent all rounder (though cover is not accounted for). The multilaser is better than the autocannon against everything except anything 4+ or worse outside of cover. Basically take lascannons if you want to pop tanks at range, take multilasers or heavy flamers if you want to do anything else, though surprisingly, plasma cannons do OK, but then cover isn't accounted for, so yeah, multilasers or heavy flamers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9032296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9032296.page GMT Best Weapon for Armored Sentinels? ml and hf are also the cheapest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9033529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708590/9033529.page GMT
