=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
An excellent front-line unit which can help ensure that you get the alpha, assist in piece trading (as the stone is difficult to remove at range, and often requires something more expensive to commit to killing it), clear jams, and reach deep into the enemy's backline support with surprisingly accurate (and magical!) sprays—at least when they boost.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Gobber Chef]] - there is nothing tastier or more nutritious than a mannikin. Maybe it's just a twiggy salad—but it's certainly the cheapest thing to sacrifice for fury management.
* They work better in pairs than one on their own.
* Most casters can't go wrong with two Sentry Stones as a start to a list. They're relatively cheap, hard to remove, and will nearly always make back more than their points in either actual casualties or in pure aggravation to the opponent.
* [[Baldur2]] - Roots of the Earth puts the sentry stone to armour 21 making it even harder to get rid of. Add in a forest and a rock wall if you need it.
* [[Chuck Dogwood]] - Veteran leader is a great passive buff.
* [[Megalith]] can lower the defence of nearby models with his animus
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* The Sentry Stone is easy to hit and if it dies, all the Mannikins get removed. Of course between stealth, damage boxes, and high ARM this isn't always easy.
* Kara Sloan, Siege, and anyone who can give a ranged battlegroup True Sight or even Guidance make Sentry Stones cry, as they ignore their principal defense (Stealth) and often pack enough of a punch to remove them fairly trivially.
* They can't really hurt heavy warbeasts or warjacks.
* The Stone makes an excellent target for things like electro-leaps and [[Ashes to Ashes]].  Be mindful of putting anything valuable too close to them.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* Even without its Mannikins, the Stone makes an excellent blocker. Between high ARM/boxes and Immobile, it can ruin charge lanes and contest zones with the best of them.

Model Advantages and Abilities

Advance Deployment
Advance Deployment		 In most scenarios, this model can be deployed after normal deployment, up to three inches beyond the established deployment zone.

No errata for Advance Deployment (Create)

Construct
Construct		 This model is a construct, and is not a living model.

No errata for Construct (Create)


Forest Growth		 Once per turn at any time during its activation, this model can spend 1 fury point to use Forest Growth. When it does, center a 3 inch template on this model. The template is a forest terrain that remains in play for one round.

No errata for Forest Growth (Create)


Immobile		 This model has no Normal Movement or Combat Action, cannot become knocked down or be moved, and is automatically hit by melee attacks.

No errata for Immobile (Create)


Natural Summons		 Once per turn at any time during its activation, this model can spend 1 fury point to use Natural Summons if there are fewer than three friendly Mannikin solos in play for each friendly Sentry Stone model in play. When it does, place a Mannikin solo in play within 3 inches of this model. A Mannikin solo must forfiet its Combat Action the turn it is put into play.

No errata for Natural Summons (Create)


Prowl		 While this model has concealment, it gains Stealth.

  Errata-Prowl (2024-2-17)
Question: Does Prowl prevent a model from losing stealth while it has concealment?


Example 1:
A Warpwolf Stalker with Prowl has concealment and is shot by a weapon with Flare. Thus the model gets -2DEF and loses Stealth. However, as soon as the model loses stealth, it gains it back by having Prowl and being in Concealment.
Example 2:

A Soul Stalker is targetted by Spyglass and thus loses Stealth for a round. However, when it was shot by an AoE also hitting a cultist, the cultis dies and Agathon now casts Occultation on the soul snake, does it gain Stealth again despite having lost it?
Answer: For now stealth will not be reapplied in the above example.
Explanation: So we will be using the ruling from MKIII until we have time to go through the different abilities. For now we are looking into the issue brought up by this thread for now. Mainly due to the volume of rules we need to address this first prior to moving on the the other issues, similar to this. Also it is due to the fact we have a previous edition ruling that we are applying to this scenario.
Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck Infernal - PP Community forum



Strange Growth		 Once per turn at any time during its activation, place this model anywhere completely within 5 inches of its current location.

No errata for Strange Growth (Create)

Lore

The Circle methodically inscribes certain stones to imbue mystical energy into their very essence. These self-sustaining fulcrums of power mimic thought, reaction, and awareness. Territorial and aggressive sentries, these stones animate creatures of sticks and vines cobbled together in imitation of humanity. Such mannikins collapse when beyond the influence of their stone but show an almost sentient pleasure in rending flesh.
