The other requires multiple Gauss Rifle fired upon them, operated by Soldiers in Power Armor to be taken down often falling back for heavy support infantry fighting vehicles like the Goliath for further assistance because the Zealots still slaughter them. One combatant goes down to half a mag of 7.62mm small caliber assault rifle rounds. Hell, the general consensus after being debated several times, is that a Zealot can a good contender against a Bog Standard 40k Space Marine in combat. Faster, Pre-Cog, Stronger, better armor, better weaponry. Zealots out class the elites in every conceivable way. They all fell dead next to the three Marines they had slaughtered. In a last struggle, one Protoss Zealot killed a Firebat with his Psionic Blade, but then the flamethrowers crisped the surviving two aliens. Flames erupted from their Perdition weapons. Six Firebats converged on the other two enemy fanatics. The weapon blasted without pause until the nearest Zealot toppled backward, dead. The Goliath advanced, his armor fully powered, his twin thirty-millimeter autocannons blazing. While the fallen soldiers' Impalers still sputtered energy bursts into the translucent wall, the lieutenant motioned one of his Goliaths forward. Lieutenant Scott hadn't had time to know all the men assigned to him for this mission, so he didn't immediately recall the names of the three Marines who fell screaming. Their Gauss rifles sent out blasts that drove the Protoss back, even as the Zealots slashed with their crackling scythes.

Inside the topmost tunnel three powerful Protoss Zealots loomed out at them, eyes blazing, mouthless faces giving them a demonic appearance. Lieutenant Scott followed his troops into the convoluted passageways, and it wasn't long before theyĮncountered a firefight of their own.

Willy nilly slaughter until the problem goes away. Keyes - was able to spot a stealthed covenant soldier and therefore could expose him.įor the Dark Templars this is not even a fight, it is at best a mop up operation for them.

Going by another discussion involving Covenant stealth, a normal human - Dr. The Covenant stealth on the other hand is given away by telltale signs at worst on the other hand, if memory serves. It gets far, far worse with Dark Templars in the mix, because the Dark Templar can't be spotted at all and have the shadow walk which bestows them with an insane mobility advantage. If that's the case AND if it is not a freak outlier than the Zealots should take it. I seem to remember a video where some marine killed an Elite, I think. They are insanely fast and their shields can tank quite some fire until they give in.ĭo the Elites have energy shields and are these working in close quarters or rather against psi blades?
