Editing Dominatrix (section)

===Tactics===
The problem with assessing the worth of such large models on the battlefield is that when you get to models costing thousands of points it’s hard to compare against other models. The dominatrix has a very similar statline to the hierophant, but with one more toughness and one less strength, +1 to both its weapon and ballistic skill, and the same 2+/5++ save. What makes it superior is it’s ability to cast and deny three spells a turn (as well as knowing three powers) and a +2 casting bonus like Magnus (with a similar rate of degradation to the bonus as you take damage) and an even bigger and more powerful back mounted cannon compared to the dire bio-cannon (which it also carries two of). Melee wise it has the same talons as the hierophant but it’s “anti infantry” ignores armour and invulnerability saves, making it an excellent hunter of anything T9 or less, the only thing stopping you from using this against titans is that each attack still only deals 1 wound.

Things get even more interesting though when you cough up 400 points to swap its back cannon for a norn queen, for which you get another +1 to your casting rolls, a 4++, a -1 manifest and deny bubble which effects ALL ENEMY PSYKERS, and (finally) the dominatrix knows EVERY power associated with the tyranids.
