So I don't like the sentry and I think Tiberion does the same thing only infinitely more for 2 more points, but that's just from reading the sentry's card and I've played Tiberion only a couple of times but I think he's awesome one game I had him charge some infantry and kill a few and to position him for next turn, my opponent had a centurion waiting for him so I cast bump on Tiberion and my opponent goes " oh so I'll just charge him with some stormblades and get rid of bump that way " couple minutes later after 6 or 7 SBs charging they all failed to damage Tiberion so he couldn't attack with the centurion more than once so he just shifted him around, ended up winning that game too so What do y'all think, would you take Tiberion over the sentry for a couple more points?

Similar question is it better to take Tiberion over the sentry?

The Sentry is a good beast. I like using it. Tiberion is a good beast, I like using him. Using them together is great fun.

i wouldnt say they do the same thing. sentry has pretty crappy mat so he doesnt like to hit stuff. id say he's better suited to keep something big from going after another model and taking a beating from it. whereas tiberion seems to more like actually getting into something face purposely and killing it. id say their similarities end with both being slow titans, having a shield (for armor 21), and a weapon with reach.

Sentry and Tiberion run amazingly well together. Bring both is the answer

If you've got the points to spare Tiberion may be a better bet, but the Sentry seems to be a more defensive Beast (as has already been said) so it depends on what you want it for: Sentry for blocking/taking a whupping and Tiberion for taking a whupping/returning the favour. An extra 2pts does get you another min unit PGBH.

The sentry is an awesome beast in certain situations. Locker is an insanely powerful animus. Tiberion is an awesome beast in certain situations as well. Just depends on the role you want the beast to fill in your lists.

Not having Locker makes Tiberion a much harder choice IMO (not an auto include/upgrade). I love Locker. In a perfect world I'd love a beast with locker who is also immovable like Tiberion.
Tiberion hits harder, bump is okay animus but imo it's much weaker than Locker.
Sentry needs mat buffs (or debuffs i.e. blackspot, Krea), Tiberion does not.
