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

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