The Domitar Battle-automata is a complex construct designed by the Mechanicum for a simple purpose; advancing on the enemy at speed, crashing into them with destructive force, raining down crushing blows until they are utterly destroyed, and then quickly identifying next target.
The Mechanicum Domitar Battle-automata is available to order today. Not only can you add the bone-crunching force of the Domitar to your army, but we?ve made it easy for you to add whole units of them with the Domitar Class Battle-automata Maniple, made up of three Domitar Battle-automata.
MECHANICUM DOMITAR BATTLE-AUTOMATA £48
The Domitar Class Battle-automata was a sophisticated variant of the ancient Conqueror pattern. Larger than the more common Castellax alongside which it would serve, the Domitar was also swifter, designed to cross the open battlefield at speed, and built expressly to crash into the enemy with shattering force.
To this end the Domitar?s shock-protected and armoured frame was itself a weapon, while its blows were amplified to colossal proportions by the Battle-automata?s inbuilt gravitational hammers, allowing it to pulverise battle tanks and, as it would later prove, even Legiones Astartes Dreadnoughts in combat. As a line-breaker, the Domitar was unparalleled in the Mechanicum?s arsenal, and its tactical flexibility was further augmented with a missile launcher armed with a variety of munitions.
The Domitar Class Battle-automata is equipped with a pair of graviton hammers and a missile launcher. Optional parts are included to mode the missile launcher?s housing open or closed. Rules for using Domitar Class Battle-automata Maniples in Horus Heresy games can be found in The Horus Heresy – Mechanicum: Taghmata Army List.
This is a multi-part resin kit. A 60mm round base is included.
DOMITAR CLASS BATTLE-AUTOMATA MANIPLE £144 (No Savings)
This bundle includes three Domitar Class Battle-automata to form a maniple. Rules for using Domitar Class Battle-automata Maniples in Horus Heresy games can be found in The Horus Heresy – Mechanicum: Taghmata Army List.
Bigger than Thallax in both size and price, these new Domitars are finally hitting the table top. Like they say above you can find them in the Mechanicum: Taghmata Army List red book or in Book V: Tempest as well!
