===Support Sentinel===

Basically a [[Whirlwind]] on stilts or the unholy lovechild between a Manticore and a Scout Sentinel.
 
As its name implies, this pattern is a heavily armed variation designed to stay behind to provide fire support rather than be up at the frontlines, acting as support units for armored companies, Sentinel companies and fire support for infantry regiments. It's typically armed with a [[Multiple Rocket Pod|rocket pod]] for anti-infantry work, or a [[Grenade Launcher#Grenade Launcher|grenade launcher]] capable of firing frag or krak grenades for mass groups of infantry or armored vehicles respectively.

In addition, the Support Sentinel is equipped with an targeter mounted on a periscope and an armored screen to protect the pilot from rocket back-blast. Some Support Sentinels are even equipped with the features of a Drop Sentinel, allowing it to be dropped. Support Sentinels are uncommon and greatly valued by Imperial commanders lucky to have them under their fold.

Support Sentinels are definitely the artillery of the Sentinel family and should be treated as such. If you want to have a very fast, cheap and light artillery, the Support Sentinel brings more bang for your buck.

Its small size also makes it quite decent in fitting small or tight areas in which a normal Imperial artillery could not possibly fit as well as having enough armor to prevent it from collapsing like a wet cardboard that is prevalent within Imperial Guardsmen Heavy Mortar Teams.
