I can fly most races bs and ships hacs etc, i was wondering if anyone would mind sharing a good tank and gank setup for tanking sentry gun fire in low sec during general mischievery. I was thinking of a dominix for a solid tank but the sentrys will pop my drones i assume so thats a no go, this will be my first time out so any noob friendly setups are especially appreciated, i can use all tech 2 etc.
Many thanks to anyone who replies.

It's a tough one. You need to be able to handle..what is it...roughly 350 dps from the sentries alone which forces heavy tank at the expense of firepower. If you are non-outlaw planning on only engaging outlaw targets you can add more firepower. If you are engaging all comers you'll need to balance more towards keeping your ship alive with reduced firepower (and if you have sentry aggro your drones will get thumped quick when the sentry fire rotates).
Other stuff to consider:
-How many gang members will be sharing sentry fire? Sharing means less tank need as long as you can easily handle a cycle or three.
-Remote rep support?
And so on.

Well i do most of my work solo.
Haulers and/or small frigate some cruisers i use a sentry tanked rapier passively tanked works like a charm.
Bigger fish u need a gang or cmd ships usually do the trick.

Solo HAC, for damage and tank?
Zealot IMO.
Good damage, good range, good tank, good cap, good customization.

I've seen hyperions work pretty well... their only problem is that they occasionally have trouble catching the little stuff.
That being said, any battleship (possible exception of the scorp) would work just fine, for most targets.

been using a gank maelstrom for a while, shield tank works great but you need a tackler. armor tanked tempest is ok, if a little slow but two heavy neuts really helps in taking out solo bs in a hurry.
also never leave home without a devoter to tackle for you. add a huginn and everythings gravy.

I prefer command ships. I fly vultures, nighthawks, and sleipnirs. They all will tank whatever you need unless its that titan. The vulture doesnt deal the damage that I like but the sleipnir is nice. But be careful....command ships are hell on your sec status.

Hac's are fun to fly although with the "boost" patch reducing armor em resists and Shield explosive resists the gate guns hurt just that much more. You have to micro manage your repairs a little more than you did.
As for a solid solo ganker, I'd roll a Malestrom with 800 auto cannons. Can handle a nice tank while dealing out the pain. work a tank around the guns and you should have no problem handling gate gun fire plus an aggressor.
Command ships are also fun gank ships that can tank the gate guns solo. But they are a bit more costly to lose.

I promised never to reveal this setup outside of a few people as it worked so well but as I no longer pirate fulltime in lowsec (plus the introduction of the HIC has probably eroded it's usefulness slightly) I'll give you the ultimate tackler... the dreaded 'Sabre on Steroids', I've caught Cov Op's, Stealth Bombers, and Inty's with this (not all)
You can solo pretty much anything cruiser sized and below inc haulers whilst taking sentry fire - as part of a gang no need to warp. Bare in mind you need DPS ships to help should you decide to tackle a BC or BS, but as your the tackler you'll already know that
Myrmidon with 2 aux nano's and a trimark high: 6 x t2 150 rails med: scram, cap booster, 3 f90 sb's or sb ii's w/ scan res script lows: dual med t2 reppers, 1600 plate, t2 dc, 2 t2 eanm, t2 signal amp hold full of spike or faction, and a giant can full of 800's 250km off the gate drone bay full of disposable t1 drones, acolytes are the cheapest scout cloaked otherside of the gate
Have fun should you choose to use it

the vulture is actually quite good on gates when you set it up fore close range (blaster vulture) put some nice rigs on it and you have a fun time at the gates

All sorts of ships can 'work'. Just depends on exactly what you want to do. I use a hype a lot. Check some of my vids in my sig for a demo. I'm experimenting with the new Zealot, and I've used the Astarte and Drake quite a bit as well.
Kronos is great.

Absolution is an amazing low-sec gatecamper imo, along with supertanked HACs like the Sacrilege and BCs such as the Drake and Myrmidon.
for tanking Sentries for extended periods of time, BS arn't all that great imo. ...

Nighthawk can perma tank sentries and has a few pair slots for scram sensor bosters ect, but if ur cheap use a drake if caldari aint ur thing then id say abso or zealot, good dps awesome tank. sleipnir is bad for camping. mainly due to its little HP's and constant need to boost and unless ur a rich git with gist a-type x-l u aint gonna be boosting for long. hope it helps but u aint having any of my set ups :)

I gatecamp in my vagabond
No, not really... I have an Onyx setup for pointing stuff, I refuse to use a Drake... Mega is a favorite when I have one, and I always liked the Myrm/brutix... but drones get wtfpwnt by sentries and blasters require you to fit a MWD to get in range ------------
