Inso Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I have packed all of my codexes away in the loft and was wondering if someone could confirm something for me. In the last version of the Imperial Guard codex (NOT the latest Astra Militarum one), you were able to have Sentinels as part of the troops selection for a platoon. Here's the question: Could you have just one Sentinel or was it a squadron of 3? I am in the process of building a platoon (or two) and want to know if I need to buy more Sentinels or not (because 3 Sentinels in a platoon, if I could have them, would be cool :) ). Any help is greatly appreciated (as to find my codex will mean digging through loads of boxes :( ).

Demus Ragnok Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Had a look through the 2009 Guard dex and I don't see an option to add Sentinels to infantry platoons. Sentinels can be taken in squadrons of up to three as a fast attack option.

WarriorFish Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 No, you're thinking of a previous codex as Demus says :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307563-imperial-guard-help/#findComment-4041175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altasmurf Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm pretty sure that it was in the 3rd ed Codex and you could get a squad of 3 in the HQ platoon.

Lji Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 In codex from 2003 year you could take 0-1 sentinel squadron in command platoon which was in hq slot. That was 3rd ed?

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Latest Rules for Elysians (IA32ed), they can take a squadron of up to 3 in the infantry platoon, or they came as elites choices if not part of a platoon. But I don't know how much you delved into those rules...

march10k Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yes, that was the 2003 codex...15 sentinels in a single FOC and that was before TLOS, so they made EXCELLENT mobile cover, lol.
