beat_ronin Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi everyone. I'm building an Imperialis Militia force to represent the Skitarii regiments of Ryza (cyber augmetics, warrior elite provenances and grenadiers as troops). They'll be allies to my Ryza Mechanicum. I'm thinking of converting some 40k Kastelan robot kits into manned mecha-type walkers, to count as scout sentinels. I'm wondering if people think these are an OK size for a sentinel stand-in? With a tank commander type model piloting where the bot's head is. In my mind's eye the two seem roughly the same height, the Kastelan is not quite as bulky up top but bulkier in the legs. I reckon they'd be fine, but my mind's eye might be wrong! Any opinions appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Sentinels are a bit taller. Perhaps about an inch (depending on cage and all). beat_ronin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more of a difference than I thought. Might have to do some creative basing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Using the mechanicum chickens would be best. Castellans are very bulky and great castellax alternatives shandwen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Why not use the sydonian dragoon’s or whatever they are called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beat_ronin Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Well, I don't want to use the Sydonians for a couple of reasons. Firstly, aren't they super tall? I'm pretty sure the Kastelans are closer to a Sentinel's size than they are. Secondly, and more importantly, they are very expensive and I am a frugal gamer Supe robot gangster #1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlisimo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think I’d have a hard time thinking of Kastellan robots as Sentinels when there are so many robots in 30k. And Sentinels cost less, at least here. The Sydonian Dragoon is the way to go if you can afford it, but if not just try to add some leftover Mechanicum/AdMech bits onto those Sentinels.

NemoVonUtopia Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The main problem with dragoons, other than being horribly expensive, is that they have a wide stance and come with oval bases. I think it would be a ton of work to try and make them fit on the smaller round bases sentinels come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Id use the dragoons, you can always use a bigger base than supplied ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
