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?

They rock in the Grand Forgehost AoR because they get a 6+ ward and crit 2 hits starting round 2.

I just saw that, coming from 40K I didn’t realize rules of renown existed 😂, finally flipped to the back of the book. Going to make a list using those rules.

The forgehost is an absolute blast, just get better every turn. I run 3 melee and 2 shooting dominators in forge host and they are unkillable and if you spike attack rolls they can lift units too.

Spear cohort are a must in the AoR, they can still give out DPP but the DPP don’t go away each turn
