Sentinels become superb battlefront units when they are fitted with Extra Armour Plating, allowing them to stride through a deluge of weapons fire that would cripple or destroy a lighter combat walker. Sensor arrays and auspex systems are replaced with additional power cells and cooling systems to allow the Armoured Sentinel to fulfil its role as a mobile heavy weapons platform. The weaponry of the Sentinel varies greatly depending on variation and role, but typical armament includes a single heavy weapon that is most often a Multi-Laser. These can be replaced with an Autocannon, Missile Launcher, Plasma Cannon, or Heavy Flamers. In addition to this weapon, some Sentinels also sport a Hunter-Killer Missile and a large Chainsaw. [17]

Assembly Instructions for Sentinel – Warhammer 40’000 (40K).

Elysian Drop Troop Regiment - Fought during the defense of Betalis III against the Asuryani of Craftworld Mymeara The Dictrix-class Sentinel, sometimes called Witches, are armoured enforcement walkers used to control prisoners. Instead of conventional heavy weapons, these walkers mount a launcher similar to a harpoon which can fire out a massive Neural Whip to non-lethally incapacitate multiple victims, before being reeled in to fire again. With a disruption charge capable of felling a Bull Grox, even a glancing hit can disable the target and can cause burning pain to anyone unfortunate enough to come within a metre of its discharge. [12a] [12b] [12c] Chaos Sentinel The 23rd Founding of Space Marine Chapters, also known as the "Sentinel Founding," occurred during the latter part of the 37 th and early 38 th Millennia. Imperial scholars believe that the 23 rd Founding was one of a series of linked Foundings that took place during this tumultuous period in Imperial history and that they were intended to repair the power and reach of the Adeptus Astartes that had suffered considerable losses in the preceding millennia.

The full details of the Sentinel Founding are occluded from even deep-bore Imperial chronicling, but it is suspected by the few scholars with even transitory access to Imperial archives that the Celestial Lions were also born of this particular gene-line expansion in the 38th Millennium.

The Armoured Sentinel has a fully enclosed, heavily-armoured canopy. The mechanical legs of an Armoured Sentinel are also modified with recoil compensators in place of additional gyro-stabilisers, marginally decreasing their speed but allowing them to fire more powerful weapon systems such as Lascannons, Plasma Cannons and Autocannons. Clad in the finest carapace armour, these special forces have more skills than your standard Astra Militarum trooper, and are able to cut down their enemies with volleys from their hot-shot lasguns. The Sentinel Power-lifter is a non-combat logistics platform and is equipped with two, large power claws that are used to grip and hold heavy objects like missiles and other heavy ordnance and transport them short distances or lift them into place on other Imperial vehicles or aircraft. We are a small team of Warhammer Enthusiasts and miniature collectors, hoping to support and further promote the hobby. There are several different patterns of Sentinel depending on their Astra Militarum Militarum Regimento of origin, which further specialises one of the primary operational roles outlined above depending on local circumstances, tactical needs and military cultures.

Departmento Munitorum - The Departmento Munitorum uses the Sentinel Power-lifter as a logistics vehicle to transport and load ordnance for the Imperial Guard. The Steel Cobras were a formerly Loyalist Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes whose blasphemous worship of the Emperor of Mankind as an animal totem prompted a puritanical Imperial Crusade against them by the Ecclesiarchy, led by a particularly bombastic Cardinal. Faced with such an assault by the Imperium, the Steel Cobras turned to the service of Chaos to gain the power needed to defend themselves.

Ciaphas Cain's Heroes - This ad hoc Perlian army's sole tech-priest, Enginseer Tayber, used a modified Sentinel Power-lifter as her personal vehicle. The walker's handling claws and maneuverability made it an excellent roadside service vehicle, while the Heavy Flamer and enormous fuel tank she installed made it a powerful combat unit in a pinch. The crews of Sentinel squads will adapt their vehicles for all sorts of difficult operating environments, making use of everything from large chainsaws for cutting through dense jungles and forests to servo-claw spikes that can grip glacial planes. Sentinels are often fielded in squadrons as scouts or infantry fire support vehicles. They can carry a variety of heavy weapons and bring intense firepower and maneuverability together in one highly mobile unit. Scout Sentinels are lightly armoured, however, and are susceptible to heavy barrages of small arms fire. Emperor's Talons Recon Company - An Emperor's Talons Recon Company is a Sentinel formation that consists of three squadrons of Sentinels, of any type, and a single formation leader, also of any type. The Sentinel formation leader is often a combat-hardened veteran, and they and their reconnaissance company are usually tasked with hunting down a specific enemy unit and destroying it. These Sentinels stalk their prey relentlessly, carefully crossing the battlefield and emerging from the shadows to strike down their target with the utmost efficiency.
