Very daring today I see. Now for a real build with some chest hair run a crusher and flamer become the CC god.

The bolt gun is cool. But the dueling sword. Nah, not 40k enough.

I don't know why you'd pair a bolter with a dueling sword on a zealot. The only thing that the bolter does well for zealots is kill armor, and the dueling sword doesn't have any problems with that. You're going to be better off with most anything else. If you want anti-horde capabilities, take a flamer, a shotgun, or a braced auto gun. If you want something to snipe ranged threats, take any of the pistols other than a shredder.

Bolter is good for Gunner/Shotgunner/Rager clowncars (and bosses), and Dueling Sword deals with hordes well enough while also popping heads off of single anythings.

It's not the meta.

Dueling sword is nothing special for a zealot. I prefer using tactical axe for 100% critical hit chance for cooldown reduction and spam the tome for teamplay.

Only thing boltgun has going for it is the weakspot hit factor. But you can just use knives one-shot to deal with gunners and snipers, And use more practical weapon like flame thrower to melt away the mobs instantly and apply 20% brittle to tear down enemy armor, which helps the team to kill them quick.

I know a few months ago you were ridiculed for staying with bolt gun. Why not using columnus or plasma gun as vet? Or as zealot columnus or revolver? Just let the people play with the gear they want to as long they are efficient with it.

Of that list, the only enemies that bolters are superior at killing are monsters. There are far better options for everything else. And on a side note, zealots who rely upon ranged weapons to kill gunners and shotgunners need to work on their melee and movement skills.

[kash]

nope. flamer all the way

[Hex]

Zealot only has 2 acceptable melee weapons. Eviscerator and Hammer. Everything else is wimp heresy.

Bolter is superior for the clowncars specifically, which is why I mentioned them and not just "gunners".

Thats one of the most based thing i've heard in 1000 years. Take my points, buy something good.

[Steinar]

I don't see why Boltgun and Duelling Sword is such a good combo? Yes, both weapons are overpowered in their own ways, but they have similar strengths, so they don't cover eachother's weaknesses very much.

Fair enough, but if you're catching the clown car, you're generally going to be better off charging into melee anyway, which again begs the question of what we're really trying to do here by pairing the bolter with a dueling sword.
