Most ordinatus are highly specialised and created for one job, therefore
are unique, the 3 avalilable (Golgotha, Mars, Armageddon) are variants
that have proved themselves on multiple occassion and have earned
themselves the title of official variant on the STC. They are the three
most widely used designs of the template, and are the most flexible.

I have found from experience that an IG infantry and titan army is a
nearly unstoppable force, artillery can be problematic, but there is so
much firepower and so many targets, that they can hold their own. Flyers
and artillery solve the artillery problem.

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
