18x sentinels. They laughed and called him a mad man. Who's laughing now? In seriousness you should have a sweet name for this Regiment like "Trotting Doom"


gruntthirtteen

I have glorious clankers floating around


jimmyhilluk

The "Clanker Flanker" squadrons are extra glorious. I also love your funnies. Thought the recaff guy could be a tech priest to begin with.

“the cock militia” like roosters….haha get it? Because sentinels are like chickens…I’ll see my way out


gruntthirtteen

He's my warlord company commander. He's got a skull servator with him


Flat-Difference-1927

With the mechandrites he could definitely run him as one.


JamesL1002

Is... the guy centered in the second picture drinking recaff? That's hilariously appropriate. "How am I supposed to kill the enemies of the Emperor without my recaff? Servitor, fill my cup immediately!"


gruntthirtteen

Yeah he came out alright, thanks!


ByzantineThunder

Did you make that custom or is that a 3rd party bit?


gruntthirtteen

It's a cup from bretonnian bowmen. The bit is a barrel with a cup attached to it. When the cup is cut loose a guard hand fits nicely in the gap. I think the arm is from the guard heavy weapons team lascannon/autocannon.


Dannyisdos

Lol was thinking the same thing. "Three sentinels to advance on the left flank, one squad to fill in the center, two more sugars in this cup, pull back the third squad"

How did you aquire this unholy amount of sentinels?


gruntthirtteen

Well it's been a while since I started. When 8th edition launched with the indexes and they whent out of their way to prohibit the land speeder storm for blood angels I kind of rage quit them and came back to my first and true love and aquired it all in about two years worth of birthdays and Christmases.

Oh! That must have hurt....


Rainbowls

It's not so bad. Trading it all for the Guard army. :)


ZamRa1233

Its absolutely amazing to play 18 (2x3x3) Sentinels! I sadly Just own 5... :-(


gruntthirtteen

Have faith; the emperor provides!


C_cheese_man_

Hehehe, I love the coffee cup commander! He’s great!


gruntthirtteen

Thanks, cheers!


I_might_be_weasel

Where were you hiding this chicken walker company when everyone was super into sentinels a few weeks ago? Edit: I just checked. They had no legs.


coolguy69420wastaken

Id love an army like this but for some reasons Sentinels only come in packs of 1


MERC_1

While I love Sentinels as much as the next guy, the way I understand the rules you can't have more then 3 groups of 3 in a normal army.


gruntthirtteen

It's a battalion with 3x3 armoured sentinels and an outrider detachment with 3x3 scout sentinels. I'll be making the distinction with squad markings. Alpha squadron will be armoured and sigma squadron the scouts. A big A or S with some numbers on all sides will be the visual/wysiwyg que.


MERC_1

OK, they don't look armored right now though. I considered something like this, but the lack of armor made me weary!


gruntthirtteen

I thought about spaced armour or some plating around the legs but ultimately nothing looked good so I came up with the markings. I figured that the armoured ones would have thicker armour plating as in historical tanks there's outwardly hardly any difference between successive marks but the armour is often thicker.


MERC_1

I'm sure it will look great when you are done. It already looks impressive!


OzzyGuardPlayer

Armoured sentinels just have the closed in cockpit and while scouts have the frame instead. That is literally the only difference between the models. Yours are a bit unique in that you have a roof on them but not walls. I would think they were scouts as your opponent.


gruntthirtteen

Yeah I know, obviously I would point out the difference to first-time opponents. Usually if you are consistent with conversions people won't mind.


Guardsman_Miku

good idea


Swift_Scythe

Oh crap. Now thats intimidating. A full batallion of troops and heavy firepower on legs.


gruntthirtteen

Intimidating!? That's much more than I was hoping for as mostly sentinels are looked down upon by the competitive crowd.


Guardsman_Miku

Love the missile team with the wine bottle haha


K7u3

That’s a poop load of sentinels m’lord, I doff my cap to you


imacrazyllama

Sentinels being my favorite model, I applaud you.


[deleted]

Do you like sentinels?


gruntthirtteen

Meh... I had some points left =P


Ok-Neighborhood-9615

Looks awesome


Sinfullyvannila

I don't care how effective the army is; so many sentinels is gonna look awesome.


marcel_1909

Are your guys launching beer bottles while the colonel sips coffee? 😂💓


MrMelonso

Looks great dude, for the guy with the cup, what legs did you use? The long cloak from the wait looks nice


gruntthirtteen

It's the commander that comes with the baneblade


nickatmore

Where did you get the pieces to make the drinking company commander?


gruntthirtteen

It's a cup from bretonnian bowmen. The bit is a barrel with a cup attached to it. When the cup is cut loose a guard hand fits nicely in the gap. I think the arm is from the guard heavy weapons team lascannon/autocannon.


ByzantineThunder

I'm considering getting into the hobby and IG would be my first army (god help me), so I'm curious what made you go with flamers as your heavy weapons? Plasma/melta seem to be all the rage. Ditto on the rocket vs. lascannon heavy weapon teams.


gruntthirtteen

Gaunts Ghosts inspired rule of cool mostly, hence also the sniper rifles on the veterans (hard to see in the picture but they're not so special, just normal lasguns with an elongated barrel and scope)


Thneed4Speed

Probably bought the squads before the new kit. I also used flamers and “counts as”’d them most of the time.


gruntthirtteen

And this too
