Well, I had a few sentinel ideas floating in my head. Sentinels for different roles, and such.

1:Sniper Sentinel-A sentinel mad out from the poles(or beams) of a sentinel arranged in a square, with the eye inside. It has a jackal like energy shield over its front part, until it fires, or charges. When it charges, it has the charging thing of a plasma pistol. When it fires, it fires a burst of lazer beams.

2:Miner Sentinel-Not Minor misspelt. Miner. It has a very powerful lazer beam that fires continously for three seconds. However, it is very weak, because Miners don't need armor.

3:Drone Sentinel-A small, Monitor shaped Sentinel, with a tail made out of metal. Its got that hover effect seen with a ghost. It launches a small thin beam, but very strong. It explodes like a plasma grenade. Its got a very powerful overshield. Only bullets can destroy it, because it is built to withstand damage.

4:Sentinel General-A large sentinel, with a big sphere in the center. It has several of those oversized sentinel wing things, splaying out from the front on all sides. It has three of the standard sentinel beams as a primary weapon, and as a secondary weapon, it charges up, and fires a seriously long, blue beam of energy that depletes shields instantly. It doesn't doo much energy to flesh though, however it does last a logn time, and you have to be careful. It has complete energy shields, but also has a jackal type shield on the front portion, over its eye.

Heres mine that i posted a while back,

The Pacer- Ground Unit. Weight 235 pounds. Size 5 feet high 4 foot long. Shoots a Blue beam from main cannon. Hovers. Sleek chrome exterior like all other forerunner objects. speed 19 MPH. deflects all UNSC weapons. shaped like a sharp box that points near the end.

The Ample- Massive Grounded Turret. 360 degree aiming. 7 Feet 2 foot. Circular bend, resembles Shade Turets, but fully closed. Glowing Inside. Shoots off charged massive Beam rounds. Once again only explosives and Plasma are only good against it.

The Wayfarer- Humanoid Biped, weight 180 Pounds. has an actual weapon. Resembles Pictures of the Forerunners found on Onyx. 6'7 Tall. actually carries a beam rifle, and sword that also has the ability to shoot small beams. Moves fast, and has amazing agility.

Thats What I'll share, if you Like I'll post more

Nice ideas. Pretty sick.

Y'know, I'm sad people haven't done much with the Sentinels. I haven't heard of any custom made sentinels so far. Such a shame.

Pleese post some more. My brain hungers for feeding. And it shall be fed.

Random idea I had for the sentinel, I just imported the model into max and started playing with it to see what I could come up with, and this is what I got:



It was just a pointless quick modification of the sentinel model I made for fun, but I just thought I would post a pic because it would fit here.

That...Actually looks great! It doesn't look like you modded it, it looks like you made a new one! Cool, man.

in scale how large is it compared to a regular sentinel?

I still haven't even decided if I'm going to use for anything. But if I do, here are the two sizes I'm deciding between:



Left(small): Equipped with small somewhat weak beam weapons but effective melee capabilities for directly removing the source of infection from the target. While faster and more agile than normal sentinels they are much less effective at range. When alone they would hide and wait to ambush their targets, but in large numbers would swarm and overwhelm them.

OR

Right(large): Equipped with large powerful beam weapons and devastating close range capabilities. Also equipped with a shield generator and a powerful energy cannon for dealing with major threats.

I thought about making this some type of mini-boss but I really never put a lot of thought into either one. That's just what i came up with while playing with the model.

i like the one on the right

i like the one in the middle

Hello spider droid.

If you want to be serious about this (I'm actually somewhat impressed with your end result, I won't lie) I strongly suggest the smaller one. Large bipeds in CE can be quite hard to get looking right, and it's even harder when you've got "non-standard" leg setups like our six-legged friend in question. Smaller = easier to hide engine's shortcomings pretty much.
