JEFF4i Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Okay....this week we have battle of Zs. Zahariel of the Dark Angels, from Descent of Angels. He single-handedly slew one of the great beasts of Caliban, and fought alongside the Lion himself. While we'll learn more of him in months to come, its safe to say, he's a tough cookie. After leaving Caliban in the 22nd Chapter of the DA, he went so far as to save the Lion. Zadkiel of the Word Bearers, from Battle for the Abyss. A Fleet Captain for the Word Bearers, bested Cestus a Captain of the 7th Ultramarines Chapter (who had previously beaten people like the Space Wolf Grimnar) in combat, and proved his competency all-around. My vote goes to Zahariel, he's just a born warrior.

Capt. Tates Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I loved the character Zaheriel, my vote definetly goes to him, although i have a sinking feeling he'll be the new Cypher, the one thats still about now, don't ask me why.

Brother-Kezef Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 My vote is for Zaheriel. This guy has been fighting chaos before they had a name for it. I also think he is Cypher, and if that's the case, he fought a C'tan one on one.

JEFF4i Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm actually unsure of whether or not he'll be Cypher, I mean its possible, but seems a bit predictable. I'd prefer him not be, to be honest. That said, to pre-empt any comments, I know this is another MaybeLoyal vs Traitor type thing, but since we really aren't sure whether he's Cypher or will be integral to Lion's retaking of Caliban, I thought it better to place him Loyalist than assume he isn't.

Captain Engelhardt Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Zadkiel all the way. I mean, everyone can slay a warp beast (who if not a Word Bearer :blush: ) but it takes a true master of combat to best a smurf captain (who bested a puppy). @ JEFF4i: A Space Wolf votes for a DA ? What has happened to the galaxy ?

Tutteman Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Personally I'd expect Zahariel, I mean come on. He fights (fought, past tense) with the Lion even before the Descent of Angels and he saw (kind of) the Emperor (doesn't remember it though) Where as mister coward the Word Bearer is just some guy with a rapier and little or no guts. The fact that I'm a loyalist has Nothing to do with this, really Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163337-battle-royale-week-eight-zahariel-vs-zadkiel/#findComment-1919793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantDaKiller Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Im going for Zahariel mostly because he didn't kill Skraal (My second favourite character after Khârn).

Vassakov Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Zadkiel is frankly one of the most piss poor, shallow and pantominic villians I have ever come across. Zachariel, on the other hand is at least slightly talented and a worthy Son of the Lion, even if he is hopelessly naive. Zach gets my vote.

marshal seanisi Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I too think Zahariel wins this one. I also agree with your conspiracy theory ideas that belive he is Cypher.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i have to commit heresy and vote for a traitor, so Zachariel. and lets remember the smurf beat a wolf in a duel without weapons...if the wolf had been fighting a enemy, not a brother he was fueding with, the outcome would have been different. wolf lord kieran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163337-battle-royale-week-eight-zahariel-vs-zadkiel/#findComment-1920160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Caesar_ Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm going to have to go with Zahariel as well, even though I think he's a bit too wide-eyed and naive for a knight of Caliban, let alone a Space Marine.

Dark Disciple Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I have to say Zahariel. Its a little known fact that the Abyss was the Word Bearers Istaven III. Thats how we got rid of out baggage :tu: Otherwise I just close my eyes and pretend that book was never written :lol: Disciple Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163337-battle-royale-week-eight-zahariel-vs-zadkiel/#findComment-1920500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaji Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Didn't Zahariel have psyker powers? Terrorsight, which he used to kill the beast on Caliban. Also the Emperor had to intervene to stop him from using it when the DA guys were interrogating him. So he seems VERY powerful. +1 Vote for Zahariel :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/163337-battle-royale-week-eight-zahariel-vs-zadkiel/#findComment-1920859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobo Willie Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 A Captain in the Word Bearers is to be laid low by a battle-brother of the Dark Angels? I know he's a psyker but really? Despite Zadkiel being one of my least favorite characters in any of the HH books, I'm gonna go with him.

Captain Kael Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 And lets remember the smurf beat a wolf in a duel without weapons...if the wolf had been fighting a enemy, not a brother he was fueding with, the outcome would have been different. Actually they battled with chainswords and the winner would be the first to draw the opponent's blood. Zadkiel is a moron in my opinion. He took uneccesary damage in the space battle and he thought too highly of himself. Plus he is too paranoid, sure he bested Cestus, but he died as well. Zahariel gets my vote.

Captain Kael :blink: EDIT: spelling :P okay, my mistake. they fought till first blood, which proves....nothing really. should have just arm wreslted or played paper, scissor, rocks...it would have been quicker, and prove the same thing. cause from where i stand, it isnt who hits first that wins, it is he (or she) that still stands after the fight ends that wins.

not Alpharius Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have to say that Zahariel would beat the crap out of Zadkiel. Sure, Zadkiel may have more martial prowess (being a Captain and all), but there's no comparison to fighting s Great Beast on a Death World with inferior equipment! Sure, Zadkiel may have bested an Ultramarine, but what else has he defeated? Any great daemons? Xenos? Even a psyker? All he has going for him is a good sword arm. Especially with Zahariel's Terrorsight, Zadkiel would underestimate him more than even he did when the Abyss was damaged. There is no doubt in my mind that Zahariel would defeat him.
