Scout Sentinel Unit Review | Astra Militarum Tactics

[@MilBard]

Given the end of Armor of Contempt, the Scout Sentinel multi-laser option with 6 strength & -1 AP and four shots is looking more competitive all comer weapon choice in the pending "Space Marine horde" era.

[@TyHunterX]

Not really, Heavy bolter is still much better due to D2, and even then.... you should have enough anti horde options so You'll really want to take the Plasma Cannon or the Las cannon (Heavy flamer can be a good choice for scout sentinels due to close range and autohits)

[@Svejir]

@@TyHunterX as much as I like D2 HBs, there's still a good amount of damage reduction in game making those HBs only Damage 1.

[@br7693t]

I still like the Heavy Flamer on them. They can get close and make it count in a post-AoC environment.

[@cesarsotillo784]

at least once in the edition I wanna try to do the 9 sentinels move blocking the opponent in his/her deployment zone backed up by Deathstrike missile markers.

That would be awesome

[@redredleg4051]

3 scout sentinels starting on an objective has been a mvp for me. They are tough enough to survive a lot of anti-troop fire power and any anti-tank weapon shooting at them isn't shooting at a Leman Russ. 10/10 for me. I give them plasma and chain swords if I have the extra points. They force your opponent to make difficult tactical decisions and this is great for you.

[@stevenschnepp576]

I really hope they keep the old kit around. More variety is good for the Guard, and I want to use the old ones for Scouts while I field the new ones for Armored.

[@hahaureadmyname]

I absolutely adore how efficient they are. I want to run nothing but sentinels, command squads, infantry, and chimeras

[@tasteofwang81]

Can we get an updated Gaunt’s ghost unit review please. Can they take a bodyguard? Thanks man love the content.

[@norabder8816]

Bodyguards can't be added to named characters unfortunately

[@MordianGlory]

I will be doing units reviews on all of the new guard units, and I am working through the HQ and Elites at the moment so Gaunts Ghosts will be covered in the near future :)

[@shanehudson3995]

@@norabder8816 which is odd. Creed vs normal Castellan? One gives +1 strength to a shooting attack and gives an extra order. And does the usual Creeeed! nonsense. The other has a multi wound Ogryn eating hits with damage reduction, so will still be around on turn two.

[@nwerner3654]

Hey Mordian, was wondering if you could do a video on the state of indirect fire. Would the new regimental trait demand a more skewed list? Would appreciate your input!

[@MordianGlory]

I've got just that video planned for next week

[@NANA-lq5md]

I've been thinking about starting Guard, but after painting a bunch of gaunts I'm not sure I want to paint a bunch of guardsmen.

[@thewizardmf175]

Felt the same way after a space marine chapter. But not gonna lie the new models are satisfying to paint and build 👌 😌

[@hahaureadmyname]

Thankfully guardsmen are super easy to paint. You assemble the whole squad then paint them simultaneously. You can get an entire box done from sprue to battle-ready in

[@koboldm]

Just ordered a couple sentinels! This video came in great time, a lot of options and strategy with scout sentinels, I really like that

[@MordianGlory]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Bobamelius]

It's taking me forever to get my 3 scout sentinels painted. I made the mistake of prepainting the pilots and cockpits, resulting in a lot of fiddly masking misadventures, and magnetizing and painting the 2 million weapon options is such a grind for a 120pt unit. First world problems, I know.

[@rileyernst9086]

I want to see mortian try a Guard Cav list, death riders, rough riders, sentinels and mechanised guardsmen all led by Lord Solar Theoden...

[@longhunter5935]

Scouts lead the way. Not the only choice but one of our best.

[@marasmusine]

I wish I could give scout sentinels a vox-caster.

[@verazunrus4834]

I'm curious on how orders would effect units that are so far up and most likely out of range of any orders

[@mikelmazzi7978]

Hey Mordian, I got the impression from your videos that you overlooked a very important detail. Unless I got it wrong, you can put Commissars in your Command Squads. Why is that important you wonder? He has the officer keyword and as a result can use the master vox! Yes, Mordian, I can see your eyes tear wide open 😂 All those orders you can give to units like sentinals, flanking units etc... this gives an army so many new tools. I believe the commissars place is in a command squad with mastervox. With the banner in there, you would want him in the thick on things anyway so he can"encourage" the fellow guardsmen who usually build the main infantry core in front of the Command Squad. Maybe you did know that, but just didn't mentioned it. (At least not in the last commissar video) Anyway thanks for the great content, I will probably join your ranks very soon! For the Emperor and Vostroya!

[@PreZzuRez]

I think you're not able to add a Commissar to the Command Squad. His rule only says, that he won't fill out a place in the Elite-Slots in your detachment for every command squad you field.

[@mikelmazzi7978]

@@PreZzuRez thanks for the reply. You are right, I stand corrected. I must have mixed something up. Please ignore my excitment :)

[@percymacdonald6657]

How do you make the most out of sentinels when running inflexible command?

[@kronk7848]

Do the Scout Sentinels need to always be within 12" of an Officer for the Inflexible command secondary? If so how are you supposed to let them go wild and do their thing ? :(

[@samronco5133]

I just noticed today that there is a big difference in size between the old sentinels vs the new. Would that be an issue moving forward as far as pros/cons/comp?

[@jasongarfitt1147]

I'm thinking a unit of armoured with plasma with my castellan, and 2 single scout sentinels for move blocking/general harassment

[@cameronnelson7179]

Do you guys think lascannons are worth it? Can be shot in melee but very swingy damage…

[@77gunslinger77]

Armoured with plasma all the way!

[@ruilmonsezhi4088]

Aw yeh, fast bois go ZOOM

[@coltonberry985]

I’m going to assume this is in response to my comment earlier. Regardless I’m happy to hear.

[@horseface31]

Love my scouts

[@jonasgrant]

My thinking is; get rid of a Questoris knight, get gaunt's ghost and 9 Sentinels

[@lewispatton6550]

As a T'au main these chicken walkers offend me.
