Strategy[]

The Sentinel is a bodyguard for your Guardsmen. There are a few ways to use it:

1-) If you see any melee threat to your Guardsmen, a Sentinel can protect them. For example, Ork Sluggaz are charging your Guardsmen. The Guardsmen can't protect themselves so use the Sentinel's Ground Pound to the Orks' face! Damage + Knockback + Stun. Then, finish them off while they are stunned.

2-) Sentinels can't tank damage like other walkers, because it has heavy infantry armor as well as low hitpoints. However, you can use it to tank the damage with repair support. A Sentinel will tank the damage while Guardsmen shoot from a step back while repairing the Sentinal.

3-) The missile upgrade can help you with anti-vehicle damage but it is not powerful. You should save your money for other anti-vehicle options. On the other hand, extra armor can be helpful about staying alive because there will be a lot of things to counter heavy armour.

4-) If you are planning to make a Sentinal spam, that will be fun to watch. Missile upgrade now becomes necessary. Still, you may need more than only 1 squad of Guarsmen to repair them. If you see a bunch of infantry, keep your distance, shoot and go back a few steps for a reload. If you see a walker, switch to anti-vehicle, shoot it and go back, using hit and run tactics. A repair bunker might be good for them but you will need to protect it.
