Preferred Enemy on a key enemy unit also makes Plasma Cannons a more appealing weapon option as they tend to kill 2HP vehicles quite easily. If used as an Auxiliary in the Cadian Battle Group, rolling 3d6 and dropping the highest for Orders checks will really help to mitigate that low Ld8 to pass orders. You also gain some decent orders (Ignores Cover, Tank Hunter/Monster Hunter would have been a lot more fun!), particularly the ability to shoot and then run (preferably behind some cover) is quite good for a unit like this. The formation itself allows you to Outflank with Armored Sentinels which are decently durable having front AV12, along with the more nimble Scout Sentinels. That said, is this unit viable at all? I’d say yes, if you wanted to use Sentinels, this is a good way to do it. Poor Sentinels, such a cool unit with a great model and awesome fluff but the rules just stink. However, as my Grandpa always told me, “slapping lipstick on a pig doesn’t make me want to kiss it.” It takes what is undeniably a true stinker of a unit: Sentinels, and gives them some decent special rules to dress them up a bit. Dedicated Hunters: Choose one enemy unit at the start of your first turn, this formation gains Preferred Enemy against that unit.This Sentinel can issue the following orders with the receiving squadron counting as ld8: Take Aim!, Forwards for the Emperor, or Move, Move, Move! Company Command: One Sentinel in the Squadron is designated as the Command Sentinel.These squadrons must consist of 3 models. This formation consists of 2-4 units of any combination of Scout Sentinel Squadrons of Armored Sentinel Squadrons.
