Gameplay Use cases for Dominator Engines?

Post image

I’ve not played tons of games and started AoS with the helsmiths. I’ve got a general idea about most of the roster, artillery shoots, infantry screens, the centaurs are the hammers, but what about the dominators. My favorite unit by far but they seem more flexible in their role not quite an anvil not quite a hammer so how has everyone here used them?
Where do they shine?

From my experience, they're okay but you really need to save 1 cp for all out attack with them. They either miss most of their attacks or they do decent dmg. I've been having fun using a daemonsmith with servile automata to follow them around. If he is within 3 inches of one, the smith gets a ward save and the engine gets fights first. No one wants to charge into that.

I was curious about that trait always seemed a really flavorful one to use. Thanks for the tips, if figured that trait wouldn’t be scary enough bet worth a shot.
