3.5/5 stars rounded up. The mechanicum's dreadnought smasher.
A late entry to the mechanicum's strength before the fires of the Heresy would gut everything. The Domitar was designed as a line breaker. Able to smash into enemy lines and tanks alike, their purpose was one of swift engagement and destroying key elements of the enemy.
Strengths.
The pair of graviton hammers ensures that when the Domitar makes contact, it should be doing a whole lot of damage against tanks and dreadnoughts. Haywire and graviton rules will make anyone's day worse after all. Hammer of wrath and other rules ensure AP2 at S=10 can also smash even terminators with uncanny ability. The missile launcher system is just the icing on the cake here.
Weaknesses.
Lack of attacks and BS=3 combine to hurt the potential of the Domitar. But with movement=8 and a modest price tag it should still be doing relatively well.
Builds.
There are only 2 upgrades: more Domitars, and Paragon of Metal. Hence we don't provide specific builds here.
Regarding the Paragon of Metal upgrade then. In general this is worth it. the WS+1 and W+1 alone make it worth the price tag. The extra rules (IWND, precision shots, and rampage are strong in conjunction with each other and this upgrade on a Domitar is worth considering if you're not using it elsewhere.
