The '''Elysian Pattern Sentinel''' or '''Drop Sentinel''' are a variant used exclusively by [[Drop Regiments]] of the Imperial Guard such as the [[Elysian Drop Troops]]. More compact than other versions and fitted with [[Grav-chutes]], Drop Sentinels are deployed from high orbit or mounted inside [[Valkyrie]] airborne assault carriers in order to quickly enter the combat zone.{{Fn|6}} For this purpose they have modifications made to their power plant and cab to allow it to fit inside a transport once its legs are folded away.{{Fn|10}} Unlike other patterns, Drop Sentinels are generally not used as scouts, instead filling the role of mobile heavy support for drop regiments that otherwise lack ground-based armoured vehicles or heavy weapons.{{Fn|6}} One of such battles battle was when Drop Sentinels of the [[23rd Elysian Drop Troops Regiment|23rd Elysian Regiment]] were engaged in assault and the subsequent defence of Hydro-plants 23-30. The battle rage raged for three days and all of the Regiment’s 42 vehicles were destroyed.{{Fn|10}} The normal weapons configuration is either a [[Heavy Bolter]] or [[Multi-melta]].{{Fn|6}}
