Not sure about the value but you NEED high voltage ones - usually
metal glaze, as opposed to metal film, which don't usually have a high
enough voltage rating.

at all.  Standard metal film resistors,
say 1/2W, 10MEG will work fine for this application of bleeder resistor for
a large series array of capacitors.
