Yeah, I don't know how they arrived at the points for the dom, but she's just
about useless. The psyker bonus is nice, but her assault is lower than the 330
point reaver, her firepower is way lower than the reaver, and her survivability
is absurdly lower. My only sucess was chasing a weaker tactical unit around the
board with her for several turns, away from everything else. Most battles she
either never gets into range, or she gets a few blast markers and does nothing
until killed by a deathray. the Heirophant has at least killed a few squat war
engines. But back in the good old days....
