ChainsawDR Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi all, Quick question - I know the Rune Priests left shoulder (as you look at it) is yellow with runic symbols on, but what please is the right shoulder? Thanks ChainsawDR Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188460-rune-priest-shoulder-markings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonwolf Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Well....according to the 'dex all Rune Priest's (RP's) are part of the Great Wolf's Great Company which should mean that their left shoulder pad should have his Great Company markings. Also, the right shoulder is used to display pack markings...but since RP's aren't really part of a pack per se then I guess you could do whatever you wanted with that one. Are you asking about RP's in general or the nifty RP in Power Armor model that GW recently released?

Grey Mage Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Lol, the yellow is because of the GC hes attached to... a RP can have any number of colors depending on the WL, but personally I did mine just a little lighter than midnight blue, in honor of the council of nikea. Edit: And "recently" released means 2004? Because that was the 13nth Company Rune Priest model for ages... they just changed the title.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yeah I believe the marking for the great company are the Great Wolf's icon. The other shoulder markings are that that distinguishes the priest as a rune priest. Grey mage, do you think that Rune Priests would honor the council of nikea? Is there any link you can give me that would lead me to more info on the council of nikea. I am only halfway through False Gods and it has been referenced but no great detail has been given.

Grey Mage Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I dont have any primary sources on me, but the council of nikea is when the emperor said that sorcerory in all its forms was banned, as a danger to the imperium. There was some debate over wether or not librarians counted, and depending on the exact source some will say they were, others say they were not. The "Chaplain Edict" came out of that same meeting, and it is why our Wolf Priests armor is Black like the chaplains of other chapters... thus I believe we would honor the tenants behind the rulings of that council. After all, we carried out its most blasted repercussion- the destruction of the thousand sons homeworld and their banishment to the warp.

Ah, I wasn't aware that model was just a rename of a previous model, hadn't noticed it on the GW website prior to October...still think it's pretty cool looking.

ChainsawDR Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 cheers guys, I'm fine with pack markings but I always struggle with the HQ choices. So for my guy (who is attached to Ragnar's GC) he has a yellow left shoulder, and the right shoulder has the Great Wolf's symbol. The last time I needed to do a Great Wolf symbol it was on a black background for the Wolf Priest - I'm presuming that for the Rune Priest my normal blue/grey background will suffice?
