The zoat is up for pre-order!

Ain't she pretty!?

Coincidentally, she is called 'the archivist'. Which just happens to be my AO3 username, 'Archivist_Xero'.

Hmmm.

These are the dragon ogres from The Old World.

Similar enough to become Zoat?

If you got some Ogryn bits, some 40k weapons, toned down the chaos. I think it could work!

"Models for the Game" for Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader, available at first launch in 1987 as pictured in the rule book, including Slaan, Zoat, and Imperial battle droid, with Squats, Eldar, and Orks, space marines of the Silverskull, Dark Angel, and Blood Angels chapters with the first dreadnought design, plus medic, inquisitor, and unspecified "power armoured troops" who might be rogue traders, mercenaries, Imperial agents, marines from homebrewed chapters, or "renegades and lost human groups."

Players are encouraged to adapt fantasy creatures to the game, create stats for toys and models made by other companies, and invent their own worlds and races.

Note the vast majority of models pictured in the book are painted with drab tan and brown bases topped with muted colors of flock, sand, and gravel to suggest a realistic arid terrain. A few have black rimmed bases, and very few, such as the Blood Angels here, have brighter green base tops made with either a fine flock or painted sand.

so i just found out about zoats.

They’re apparently a slave race of the tyranids, highly intelligent and capable of communicating with other sentient species telepathically. Their role is to serve the agenda of their hive fleet, often acting as a vanguard to disrupt or weaken a particular planet or group of people before the hive fleet arrive. From what I can tell, their role is a little bit like a genestealer cult but more focused on direct “diplomacy” and communication.

They haven’t been in the game since 6th edition (I think?) but I would be so intrigued to see them return. I play both tyranids and genestealer cults so adding zoats to either army would be a lot of fun. My personal preference would be to have a new tyranid kill team with a zoat or two in it, which then gets added to either (or both) of the tyranid or GSC codices. I have zero clue how likely that is, but I think it would be fun!

The Archivist Zoat from Blackstone Fortress. My wife and I always oppose working with pirated products and do not buy them ourselves. Apart from the obvious, these are always models of lower quality than the original, which creates more problems, and you still remain dissatisfied with the result. Unfortunately, sometimes clients send it to us themselves. There will be no tutorial for this model, and we didn’t even want to add it to our portfolio.
