RichVStone Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ok...so I'm looking at the Rune Priests....is Storm Caller the only psychic ability they get? It seems kind of lame if they do.

Grey Mage Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Thats because your right, it is the only one they get. Back in 3rd librarians all had but one power a peice.

Yeti Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yup, it's the only power they get. It's generally considered pretty good though. Having cover that follows you around the table is always nice and you can give it to other units. The whole "cover charge bonus" thing is still pretty contentious (12 years later ... ) so you'll have to make up your own idea about that. Another major reason to field a Rune Priest is the Chooser of the Slain. Neat little piece of wargear that can put a serious cramp on infiltrators.

Valerian Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ok...so I'm looking at the Rune Priests....is Storm Caller the only psychic ability they get? It seems kind of lame if they do. Yes, but it will eventually be resolved whenever the 5th edition Space Wolves codex gets released (big assumption on my part that we'll get a new codex in 5th, we didn't in 4th, after all). When we do get an update I am sure that we'll get a good number of powers to choose from, and an updated Stormcaller will be one of them. I am also crossing my fingers for the return of Njal the Stormcaller as our Special Character psyker. He'll basically be the equivalent of Tigurius for the Ultramarines, Mephiston for the Blood Angels, and Ezekiel for the Dark Angels; which means that good old Njal should be pretty badass. Hopefully he'll get a new model, too (especially since I don't know what happened to the old Njal model I bought back in the early '90s). Until then, I don't plan on using a Rune Priest, and will just go with one of my many other choices for the mandatory HQ selections.

Grimtooth Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I would say it is a pretty safe assumption that the new codex will allow for multiple powers. I look to the once exclusive 13th Co power of gate now being able to be taken by all librarians and it seems that if that power goes generic, the opposite will become true as well.
