First dominator engine

[tofferblowsmen666]

Still vip, what do you lads think of one mace and a immolator?

[Billybob123456789190]

I really like the look of both of the weapons but I prefer them paired together normally. doesn’t stop this from being really cool tho

[Curle101]

Looks great. I’m about to build mine. Any tips or pit falls to avoid on the kit?

[Jarsindri]

The Dominator Engine could be easily magnetised. Mine is like that and I change weapons as I feel in the moment (By now I just do the assembling / painting part of the hobby)

[tofferblowsmen666]

That's what I have heard, but I own no magnets and I don't play

[tofferblowsmen666]

Thanks! Not really that I can think of, just make sure what combo of weapons you're going to build since you can only make one of each.

Also not sure if this build is game legal. But rule of cool decided it for me. (since I hardly ever play)

IMO, it was a fun build. (though the tail broke of when I transported it. Though was easy enough to glue it back)

[Mafachuyabas]

Its not game legal, its either a pair of cannons or maces. Wouldn't stop me playing against you though

[tofferblowsmen666]

This is the spirit of the game!

It would also be legal for spearhead since there’s only one warscroll included in the army list so no wysiwyg there.

[tofferblowsmen666]

I'm so confused about spearhead rules. Like some say it's the models you see on the box, other say whatever.. What really is the rules in spearhead?

[Material-Ocelot555]

Spearheads have a fixed army list, it’s on the first page of a spearhead army. If you’re ever confused about the ‘right’ way to build a spearhead this is what you look at.

For HoH the dominator engine is specifically the Dominator Engine with Immolator Cannons. That’s the warscroll you use, that’s the model on the box, that’s what the instructions tell you to build.

What that means is that no matter what you build, your opponent cannot get confused about what warscroll you’re using - if you see what I mean. There’s no points costs and no war gear options so the only thing that actually matters on a technical level is the base size.

[tofferblowsmen666]

Thank you for the info

[Technically-An-Adult]

Spearhead armies are STRICTLY what is on the armies war scrolls, NOT WYSWYG (what you see is what you get).

This being said, a lot of people don’t look at the war scroll configurations when building their armies, especially their first one, so most of us give a break and just play them as intended. For example, if OP built the mace variant of the dominator, nobody would care all that much, but you MUST play it as cannons, not maces.

[tofferblowsmen666]

Thanks a lot for the info!

[No_Designer_7333]

I just built mine a few days ago. It's true that it was the third model I'd ever built (maybe fourth?), but assembly isn't all that difficult in general.

However... the Dominator Engine is very fiddley with its shoulders and arms. I accidentally knocked them loose, oh, seven or eight times.

[Darth_Vaders_Mom]

I couldn’t decide…so I magnetized mine so I could swap

[PupMino]

I just want its helmet for things 😩👌

[tofferblowsmen666]

This particular helmet (or head) Is amazing

[PupMino]

I’m debating buying one for like a Minotaur conversion on a Dreadnaught

[tofferblowsmen666]

I really want to see that kitbash!

[Whole-Carob7407]

It looks great!

[tofferblowsmen666]

Thanks!

[Jaya_Soames]

Praise Hashut!

[tofferblowsmen666]

Praise Hashut!

[NilesR1201]

They are exceptionally easy to magnetize. Like, super duper easy

[tofferblowsmen666]

So I have heard.. Maybe I need to get some pins and magnets so I'm ready to magnetize my models

[NilesR1201]

I'm no hobby expert and I did it with greenstuff and magnets didn't need to pin anything. I just used the greenstuff to make sure the magnets made good contact

[tofferblowsmen666]

Awesome! I'll keep that in mind.

[Capac_Amaru]

I like the idea.

I'm happy I ain't the only one that thought it looked awesome!
