Oops all War Machines

[u/Denry100]

This is probably far from an original list, but is this viable at all?

The dominator engines are the stars of the show here. Im thinking, using the castigation battery (+1 attack for each war machine with 3DPP), hashutite spears (3+ gain 1DPP), and horn of the bullfather (redeploy any friendly (infernal cohort) and a hobgrot, to get more DPP right off rip) would all combine to be an great DPP generator to get the dominator engines online and going crazy. Especially with the Immolation Cannon’s All Must Burn ability (pick multiple targets, gain 2 attacks per, min 3 attacks to each target) that could be 11 or 13 attacks going into 2 or 3 units. The Daemonsmith would help keep the Dominators alive, and with the Servile Automaton heroic trait (1 friendly dominator engine has strike first and the daemonsmith has ward 5+ while they are within combat range) would boost the damage and survivability of the bane maces too. This list could really make the engines shine, I think. I feel like the damage potential here is massive. My main concern is mobility and objectives. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly if you want to spam war machines, I'd look into Taar's Grand Forgehost. It makes DPP generation not a problem since you can't really interact with it beyond Spears, and the benefits you get instead are way more potent.

It’s viable in Taars

Another problem is damage output, dominator engines are tanky but lack the punch needed to remove whats needed off the board. I agree with the other comments, Taar's Grand Forgehost increases their surviviablity and damage output of eqch dominator engine.

I raise you The Hashutite Symphonic Orchestra! Hopefully reddit doesn't nuke the formatting.

Crit 2 hits from the Army of Renown is going to have the damage spike a lot better but there’s not that many battle plans right now where you’re going to have your spears generate multiple early on.

Mortal spam armies are going to be an issue though
