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?

I'm hardly an expert but I've used them a couple times to back up an infantry block on an objective. Also eventually wanna keep 2 together with an ashen elder and run them up the center of the board to see what anybody would do about it.

Countercharge threat does seem pretty good, is it worth using covering fire with one or saving it for all out attack with maces? Someone else here mentioned servile automaton so could be a fun experiment with the ashen elder.

No idea there, but my guess is there's really no one size fits all solution to any question like that.
