Horus Heresy Solar Auxilia Hermes Light Sentinel

[Lord Marshal]

Sentinels... but small(er).

We know what you’re thinking – with a war machine as awesome as this, how could you stop at just one? Luckily, the Hermes Light Sentinel kit includes two models, both of which can be assembled as either variant. With up to six in each unit, you can fill out a hard-hitting Fast Attack or Elites slot.

It looks like a CLONE of something but I’m not quite sure what…

 

Those legs are very stumpy though. 

[WrathOfTheLion]

Definitely a fun little kit. I like that it has a couple options in it, and coming with two is quite nice. All in all, I like it.

 

I'll be interested to see what their rules are like in the campaign book.

[grailkeeper]

Bit of a throwback to this maybe?

In the 31st millennium there is no back support, only war

 

I would say they'll have back problems but I don't see them living very long! 

 

Cool model that definitely has some conversion potential for me

[Matrindur]

Same feeling, very much like them:

 

[Fire Golem]

I love these stupid lil things. 

[Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf]

Nice. Plastic,in box of two, multiple options,...if the price is good the temptation of get some would be too much to resist.

[Matrindur]

Also in case we didn't have confirmation where the rules will come from yet:

Quote

Rules for both kinds of Hermes squadron – and the larger Aethon Heavy Sentinel – will be found in the upcoming campaign book, The Battle for Beta-Garmon.

 

[Matcap86]

I really really like it...?

[Grotsmasha]

WANT.

[beefeb]

quite dinky and cute...very like the star wars legion walkers.  nice looking kit, though i dont personally have an interest in starting a solar auxilia HH army.

[Redcomet]

Wow those look hilarious 

[Petitioner's City]

They look great, but I'm struggling to see what gap in the army they address - volkites, multilasers, flamers and similar light ap/low armour weapons are ten a penny in the army, so what do these really do? If there wasn't a carnodon, maybe?

 

Scouting units, yes, but it feels less effective than either a carnodon squadron or a Strike Russ.

[Bouargh]

I was impatient to see these and if they have potential for convertion... but in the end I am a little bit disappointed. I guess it will be a pass for me... I am not convinced by the lo-Rider walker aspect and neither by the bulkier version... Matter of taste I guess.

 

[phandaal]

Goofy and awesome. Really like this one!

[Jolemai]

It's just a shame they have awful delivery 

[ThePenitentOne]

Sentinel alternative for Traitor Guard?

[Noserenda]

A little disappointed? I was kinda hoping for something of a heavy weapons team analogue, a ww2 AT gun on legs giving heavy weapon support to the infantry. This is just another sentinel variant with a lighter gun and presumably sub 10 AV on the sides/rear? (Or possibly a toughness? damn shame if so for once because facings should really matter on this one! ) the Veletaris version is definitely nicer.

Great backdoor necromunda release though :D  

[Astartes Consul]

Cute!

 

But weird weapons choices, especially for the higher BS Veletarii version.

How could i forget this abomination.

[CL_Mission]

I like these guys a lot more than their heavy armoured cousins but their stunty stance does put me off a bit. Maybe the way the legs are built could allow for a taller model, the Dreadnoughts for HH have been great for posing and such so hopefully it's the same here. 

[Trokair]

Might get a box for use as 40k Scout Sentinels, so the yare more distinct from the armoured ones. 

[Nova-V]

These are great, fun, light and well designed (if somewhat inspired by another walker).  The heavy Sentinel was an awful design so this is a welcome suprise.  Plus now when I send them charging across the battlefield I can cackle 'waddle my little ducklings'.

[Urauloth]

I love it. I want several.

Not sure if I want them for Thramas Solar Auxilia or to corrupt into 40k-era traitor guard sentinels, though. Both?
