The Astra Militarum Sentinel kit is one of the cleanest dual-build walkers in the Imperial Guard range — a single sprue gives you either the Armoured Sentinel or the Scout Sentinel, plus six weapon options. Magnets let one model cover both variants and the entire weapon list, so you only need a few 3mm x 2mm disc magnets and a 3mm drill bit to make it happen.
Sentinel Kit — Armoured / Scout Dual-Build and Weapon Swap
The walker itself can be assembled as either the Armoured Sentinel (enclosed cab) or the Scout Sentinel (open cab) from the same sprue. The cab pieces magnetize cleanly with a pair of 3x2 magnets so you can swap profiles before a game without committing to one build.
The weapon arm is where the kit really opens up. Drill the shoulder mount and the back of each weapon, then drop in 3x2 magnets to run any of the six options:
- Multi-laser
- Autocannon
- Lascannon
- Plasma cannon
- Heavy flamer
- Missile launcher
One Sentinel, both chassis builds, and every weapon in the codex.

Base Magnets — 60mm Base and Miniature Case Transport
Sentinels sit on a 60mm base, and a base magnet keeps the walker locked to a steel-lined miniature case during transport. It also stops the model from tipping mid-game when the weapon arm is loaded out with the heavier options like the lascannon or missile launcher.
