	Because of the aforementioned requisite suicidal bravery to function as a Scout Sentinel pilot, it logically follows that [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]] regiments would have waiting lists for the job.		Because of the aforementioned requisite suicidal bravery to function as a Scout Sentinel pilot, it logically follows that [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]] regiments would have waiting lists for the job.

	The Scout Sentinel can field a variety of weapons. Standard armament is the [[Multilaser]], which can be replaced with a [[Heavy Flamer\|heavy flamer]], an [[Autogun\|Autocannon]], a [[Missile_Launcher\|Missile launcher]], or a [[Lascannon]]. Earlier versions could also field an [[Autogun\|Assault Cannon]], but due to munitions problems this design has been abandoned. Alongside their armaments they can be given a variety of tools and equipment from smoke launchers, search lights and even [[Chain Weapon#Chainsaw \| chainsaws]]. Funny thing about the sentinel chainsaws are that old chainsaws were mounted horizontally (hedge trimmer-style) and under the main body, which looked kinda goofy yet were practical in a sense. Newer sentinel chainsaws said "fuck that" and decided to go for the more [[Awesome]] chainsaw arms, which looked cooler and probably more maneuverable than those over-glorified hedge trimmers.

	Due to its ease in construction and its reliable nature, there are multiple patterns of Scout Sentinels, from the common '''Mars Pattern''' with its iconic open canopy, to the more heavily armored (But not too armored!) '''Cadia Pattern''', the '''Tallarn Pattern''' which has wider feet to prevent it from sinking and the more assault and jungle orientated Rambo-Sentinels that is the '''Catachan Pattern'''.

	With the other weapons, they can quickly get into a firing position with scout, and if necessary run away.

Giving them cannons essentially turns them into turrets and DO take hunter-killers as these are a cheap source of them.

	They have generalist armour, meaning they can be hurt by anything, but they don't really have hard counters. Anti-tank seems effective, but they'll usually waste a few overkill wounds, and sentinels have high wounds-for-cost for a vehicle so it doesn't scare them as much as other vehicles, but beware meltaguns and strong assault units if you take the flamers. Remember many vehicles took a hit to their firepower, so a group with las, plasma, or flame (with HKs) is nothing to scoff at. They could also be used as an alternative to Heavy Weapons Squads as unless armed with Mortars or other 'weak' weaponry they tend to die turn 1 as a result of the enemy prioritizing them. Armoured Sentinels have a potential to survive several Battle Cannon shots and don't degrade so your heavy weapons will be sticking around until the end of the game if used that way.

	If you field sentinels for their function but generally prefer tanks to chicken walkers, or you realized that these things are fucking expensive even by GW standards, ''or'' you just want a way to represent the [[siegfried]] without having to completely kitbash it, M3 Stuart light tanks from [[Warlord Games]] are the perfect size to proxy for sentinels (though they are half as tall), and are cheaper to boot. All that's really needed to pass basic WYSIWYG muster is to either replace the gun with a proper Imperial weapon, or just replace the turret altogether, in which case chimera or taurox turrets will fit with little work, though some players might bitch about it being shorter.

	Crunchwise, despite the fluff stating it could fire on the move, in reality, it cannot mitigate the penalty for moving and shooting a heavy weapon (unless you're Tallarn), [[Rage\|so the whole recoil compensators ended up being a lie.]] Unless they take flamers you're going to treat them like armoured turrets that can redeploy fast. With flamers and the humble sentinel chainsaw they become quick, durable shock troops. As such, taking anything but the multilaser (plus hunter-killer) is recommended because a weak load-out is a waste of this unit's fair durability. Up to 3 T6 6W 3+ Save models are rather hard to bring down quickly.

	As its name implies, this pattern is a heavily armed variation designed to stay behind to provide fire support rather than be up at the frontlines, acting as support units for armored companies, Sentinel companies and fire support for infantry regiments. It's typically armed with a [[Multiple Rocket Pod\|rocket pod]] for anti-infantry work, or a [[Grenade Launcher\|grenade launcher]] capable of firing frag or krak grenades for mass groups of infantry or armored vehicles respectively.
