As per title.
On an initial glance, deliverers are (as expected) a much more compelling option, gaining rocket volley and arcing fire, as well as additional pow on the rocket.
Zealots gained a point of rat and went down in cost.
I've got this list that I'd like to run at some point;
War Room Army
Protectorate of Menoth - Reznik2 Faithful Masses
Theme: The Faithful Masses 2 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Servath Reznik, Wrath of Ages - WJ: +29 - Madelyn Corbeau, Ordic Courtesan - PC: 4 - Scourge of Heresy - PC: 16 (Battlegroup Points Used: 16) - Reckoner - PC: 16 (Battlegroup Points Used: 13) - Castigator - PC: 12 - Revenger - PC: 10
Deliverer Arms Master - PC: 3 High Paladin Dartan Vilmon - PC: 0 Paladin of the Order of the Wall - PC: 4 Paladin of the Order of the Wall - PC: 4 Vassal of Menoth - PC: 3
Choir of Menoth - Leader & 3 Grunts: 4 Deliverer Skyhammers - Leader & 9 Grunts: 13 Idrian Skirmishers - Leader & 9 Grunts: 15 - Idrian Skirmisher Chieftain & Guide - Chieftain & Guide: 0
THEME: The Faithful Masses ---

I would go with min skyhammer and put in a sunburst instead. Quite a few things are immune to blast damage.

I'm so glad I've just finished painting my unit of deliverers up. They've only been sitting at the bottom of my bag for around 15 years.

They are lovely models, I'm very much looking forward to getting them on the table for the first time. Having an improved profile is actually like getting a brand new model. I'll be interested to see what happens when the cinerators and bastions are looked at.

I got into the faction because I loved the theme and concept of Deliverers. They were the first unit I purchased.
Thankfully I also liked the faction’s Warjack game, else who knows what I would be playing now.
Unrelated to Deliverers, but highly relevant to this new release, I am intending to run the following. Not sure who I'm going to play it into, exactly...
High Reclaimer -Hierophant -Templar -Templar -Crusader Idrians (max) + CA Idrians (max) + CA Zealots (max) + CA Zealots (max) + CA Choir (min) Wrack
Depending on performance, I might tweak this to include three Crusaders instead the two Templars - Shield Guard may be less relevant with HR's ability to protect himself. Also, the Wrack may become a Mechanic. Pretty much your standard hotswap Hand of Fate until everything is dead list. Probably not great game into Ghost Fleet, but we'll see where that list ends up after CID. Poops on Dark Host, though.

Here's my list with the changes
Theme: The Faithful Masses
2 / 2 Free Cards 75 / 75 Army
Anson Durst, Rock of the Faith - WJ: +28
- Hierophant - PC: 3 - Templar - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 15) - Indictor - PC: 15 (Battlegroup Points Used: 13) - Sanctifier - PC: 14 - Sanctifier - PC: 14
High Paladin Dartan Vilmon - PC: 6 Paladin of the Order of the Wall - PC: 0 Paladin of the Order of the Wall - PC: 0 Vassal Mechanik - PC: 1 Wrack - PC: 1
Choir of Menoth - Leader & 5 Grunts: 6 Holy Zealots - Leader & 9 Grunts: 12 - Monolith Bearer - PC: 3 Deliverer Skyhammers - Leader & 9 Grunts: 13
If I run into something immune to blast dmg, I'll just use deliverers as POW 15 face-crackers. Or, take my Vindictus exemplar list instead.

Change to Zealots is very nice. I can squeeze in a wrack or a mechanik in a few lists. Mainly though the change to RAT 5 really makes a difference
Looking forward to trying out Deliverers. They seem playable now

I wonder if min zealots + UA are worth it now when 10 points are needed.

So guys...anyone else thinking of running double Deliverers like all the time...I Sure am Testamemt, Kreos 1, Reznick 2, Sevy1 are all my first picks. Particularly testamemt. I’ll be running double Deliverers for a while now The next question is if double Zealots are worth it

Bah, those only work on one target. The beauty of this list is that it'll work on everything within the aura.
