BlackJackal Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I dont have my codex on hand so i cant tell you thee exact page but on the rune priest psychic power page it says that a master of runes can use 2 psychic powers a turn.

Grey Mage Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Its just really well hidden. Top of pg 37, right before the powers, states he can use two if upgraded to a master of the runes.

Grey Mage Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well I dont blame you at all, I would have expected it to be headered like any other power/wargear/saga/equipment/thingy.

stinkenheim Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 imo its only really good if 1- you need to cast stormcalle to keep guys in cover, or 2- your expecting to need to use your force weapon alot because almost all of our abilities are psychic shooting attacks and even though we can cast 2 powers, only 1 can be a shooting attack. if you have the points and its vital to get the cover save and such then go for it, but if you want just a basic fire support unit then spend the 50pts else where Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182003-master-of-rune/#findComment-2154444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I think that its also good with Tempests Wrath, wich is also not a shooting power and can in fact be doubled up with Stormcaller.

stinkenheim Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 well i've never used one with a jump pack, so i couldn't comment on that. the point still stands though, out of the 7 powers we have 5 are psychic shooting attacks. sure you can take stormcaller/tempests wrath but if you dont there is not much point paying 50 pts to upgrade him as he can only cast one shooting power a turn. as i said, if its intergral that you need cover, or to make it difficultfor a unit to move around safely then cool, go for it. but for a ranged support unit then don't upgrade him.

EricBasser Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I was tempted with the idea of running a Rune Priest with Master of Runes, Tempest's Wrath, and Murderous Hurricane on a Space Marine Bike. He was going to be in my Ard' Boyz list. I figured I could run him around by skimmers, jet bikes, and jump troops to slow them down some.
