How would you do a new sentinel type?

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

I think introducing a 3rd sentinel type would necessitate adjusting the basic profile of the current types, but what role would a third type have, maybe a 4th type?

armored

scout

fire support

Close support

What about reintroducing a 5th option: Drop Sentinel - Militarum Tempestus Crew or drop option for fire support 

[SteveAntilles]

Pretty sure those were all options in the past. There was a Forgeworld artillery/rocket Sentinel, the close combat Power Lifter Sentinel, and even the Elysian Drop Sentinel with Heavy Bolter or Multi-melta

[W.A.Rorie]

yes and they need to be back

 

[SteveAntilles]

The support sentinels are gone, but Drop Sentinels and Power Lifters still have Legends rules so they're legal.

[Sergeant Lowe]

I'd like to see them bring back the Tauros as an alternative to Sentinels and also maybe give them some extra weapon options

[sairence]

Yeah, not sure taking rules from the current sentinels and spreading them over more datasheets will be an improvement. :)

 

The only gaps that would be cool are, as already mentioned, an updated melee and a drop version imo.

[DemonGSides]

A deep strike sentinel that's branded as Tempestus themed could be cool.

 

I wouldn't mind a melee variant either that isn't just a forklift. Something closer to Avatar.  

[Emperor Ming]

and we dont want more useless datasheets that linger for years then slide of to legends

[DemonGSides]

Speak for yourself. Give me more datasheets. Gives me more to play with.

Quality Datasheets.....I do not need a datasheet for 10 unarmed Civilians with no saves, for 50 points with no abilities

Command and control sentinel – big radar; boosts vox; relays orders…
