Sentinels Rising?

[Cyclops2342]

I need some help here for playing a Sentinel team. Where on HC Realms would I find the new rules for playing the Sentinels? All I have found is the old stuff. If you know of a link please send it to me. I am thinking of playing three Sentinels and the new SR Ultron with Nova Blast in our 500 point game. This gives me two theme team probability controls as they are all robot keyword. They also have the multiattack and capture ability. I would capture mutants to get more points. I think it will be a good team if I can ever find the rules.

As far as I know, the Sentinels vs. Mutants Arch-Enemy bonuses have been removed.

Or was it the fact that they are no longer AE's but Mutant bonuses still apply?

I forget since it's been a while from the last time I ran a Sentinel.

Here's a link to the rules for the Advanced Sentinel (the current version):

both sentinels and advanced sentinels rules are in the units section under documentation

If it is here, it is in the Units section.

No it does not. 'Robot' is a generic keyword, so you need one figure per 100 points - in this case 5 figures - to gain theme team benefits.

The units section has pdfs of all the rules. You are looking for the Advanced Sentinel rules.

If I am counting correctly, you don't have a theme team. For a generic theme like robot, you need one character for every 100 points. So in a 500 point build you would need 5 characters.

Go to the Units section. All the rules are there. New rules are that AE bases no longer apply, but you still get 2x the points for defeating a Brotherhood, X-Men, Ultimate X-Men and Morlock TA figures.

Thank you everyone. I was not thinking about that 100 point rule for Robot as it is generic. I was thinking that Ultron being like 174 that he would just lap into the 100 point play. So Ultron will never be able to make the Robot team unless I have like M-11 for 59 points. Would the two meet Robot theme at that point? It would still be to many points for this team at 500 regardless.

You need 1 character for every 100 points.

So, if you want to use Ultron in a 500 point game, you are going to have to find 4 characters that equal a total of 326 points or less.

Ok so in a three hundred point game I would need three figures at 126 points for a theme team and that would leave no room for feats. I just looked at the sentinel and he is a Colossal figure so am I right that he can not be played in a tournament game?

No, you would need three figures in total. As in, Ultron and two other Robots.

No, that is not right. Why should you not be able to play it?

Right. Well, you'd need 3 total and Ultron would count as one of those 3.

Barring some kind of special scenario rules for the tournament, nothing ever prevents you from using a colossal character. The only reason they aren't used more frequently is they are usually very expensive characters.

you guys are awesome. That answers all my questions.
