SJumppanen Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ok I have heard a ton about Zealots.:What are they? Where are the rules found for them? are the tournie legal? Are they in the WH codex and I am just not seeing them? Could someone refere me to a page number? Did I ask to many questions? How do you use Zealots? Rules can be found in WD(UK):304 (no, nothing in codex) They are basicaly religious fanatics that acompany imperial forces to crusades or to/in other "religious" wars. Tournament organisers have their say on zealots, but i don't see reason why they wouldn't be legal. Personaly i haven't used Zealots yet, i'm only building them at the moment, but their usage would be much like Repentia, exept that they are a troop choice (scoring) and much cheaper.

flintlocklaser Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ok I have heard a ton about Zealots.:What are they? Basically Imperial citizens whipped into a frenzy by preachers/demagogues/whatever to go and kill in the Emperor's name. Where are the rules found for them? A Chapter Approved article in an old White Dwarf - UK #304, not sure about the US issue. are the tournie legal? Depends on the tourney, I guess. Probably would have to ask the organizer since they're an old CA article, many of which are disallowed now. Are they in the WH codex and I am just not seeing them? Nope. Could someone refere me to a page number? See above. Did I ask to many questions? No comment. How do you use Zealots? Never fielded any myself, as my SoBs haven't hit the table yet, and are likely on hold since one of the only other 40k players near me plays SoBs as his only army. Sorry can't be any more help there.

Tauren Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Zealots are a troop choice and a capable unit. Basically they are repentia done right. Simply put imagine: 2 dozen citizens, a priest riling them up and half a dozen guys wielding eviscerators, another half a dozen with 1 shot mini flame throwers. On the charge a unit like this can throw out 60+ attacks and its rather cheap. Additionally its a rather large horde to deal with.

boreas Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 If you can manage a bit of french, the rules are available for download on GW France's site. They are listed as "Les Dévots". LInk I'm building smoe from WFB Flagellants and Cadian bits, I'll post pics in the next week or so!

Deadshane Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Tournement wise.... They arent legal in any Indies this year including Adepticon. I dont think they were legal in GT's last year, 2009 remains to be seen whether or not they are.

Ok thanks Phil and ya PM me when you finish them, if you remember. My pleasure! I'll post them in the "work in progress" part of the PCA sub-forum next week. I took them out to an apocalypse game yesterday, but they got destroyed in the first half of the first turn :devil: My opponents seemed overly afraid of them, using a plaguereaper's pus cannon and a squad of plague marines to destroy them... That (if I include the priest and Inquisitor that were attached to the squad) scored 22 kills in Epidemius' bank!
