Skirax Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Today, I managed to kill (in total) 50 orks. Just from one round of Jaws and Murderous Hurricane. On a side note, my Blood Claws killed an entire mob of boys taking no wounds! :D So, anyone else got any success stories?

stinkenheim Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 except that both are shooting attacks and therefore you shouldnt have use them both in the same turn. we have very few non shooting psychic powers which is why the 50pts you had to spend on master of runes to mistakenly cast 2 powers is usually a waste.

Skirax Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Ok, I didn't know that :D Damn, I'll have to apoligise to the guy. Oh well. I genuinely thought we could...

Grey Mage Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sadly, no. But I do buy master of the runes so I can cast say stormcaller and living lightning every turn, as I find both to be insanely useful. To date though my favorite would have to have been a hail marry shot on a bloodthirster that paid off at 23".

Spacefrisian Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Mine would be 2 Carnifexes and 1 genestealer in 1 go. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191060-im-always-taking-rune-priests/#findComment-2266363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coverfire Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I didn't know about the "only being able to use 1 psychic power shooting attack". My friend plays Ahriman is does x3 Doombolts a turn... Edit: What Psychic Powers do you recommend? I like to make balanced lits to play anyone and at the moment I usually take 2 Rune Priests. One has Living Lightning and Tempest's Wrath, the other Living Lightning and Murderous Hurricane. I have yet to use the Tempest's Wrath and not really sure about Jaws of the World wolf. What do people recommend? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191060-im-always-taking-rune-priests/#findComment-2266634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 3 x dooombolt is ridiculous. Put a stop to that - he gets one shooting attack and 2 support powers.

Skirax Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well, if we only get one shooting psychic power, then what do you guys recommend to use alongside Jaws/Living Lightning/Murderous Hurricane?

Wolf Lord Ronin Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Pretty sure Ahriman's staff allows him to use 3 psyker powers per turn, even if they're shooting psychic attacks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191060-im-always-taking-rune-priests/#findComment-2266677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeenos Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 The rule that states you can only use one psychic shooting power is in the main rule book under Psychics i belive, incase your friend asks. Though, to the OP, the points your paying for that one RP is near the price it would cost you to run two of them! So you can still do double spells each turn, just from two different guys.

Skirax Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 150 points? I have him stripped down... apart from MotR until I can model another Priest.

Godhead Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 If I am only running one Rune priest I prefer to run LL/Jotww (no MoR since I can't use both)and I hatch hang out of the fire point of my rhino and zap stuff with LL until I cross the board and pop something with jaws. If I run two, then One runs jaws and LL and the other runs LL and SC. Jaws is really really nice for dropping stuff with lots of wounds or stuff like FNP. Sometimes though it is just nice to have options and taking two diff shooting attacks lets you use it for different situations. My Runepriest with LL/Jotww comes down in a pod and I try to use LL to pop tanks or Jaws to roll down a line of infantry.

Kjarl Bluetooth Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 The rule that states you can only use one psychic shooting power is in the main rule book under Psychics i belive, incase your friend asks. Whilst that is the standard rule for psychics, special characters (such as Ahriman) have rules that allow them to be different. Ahriman's Black Staff allows him to take 3 psychic tests a turn (including his force weapon) and he may shoot more than once, although at the same target.

SpaceWolf13C Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 i screwed over a dark eldar player with tempests wrath. he never actually lost anything to dangerous terrain rolls but making him sweat it out was totally worth it and it caused him to deploy his deepstrikers wrong so he couldnt get his shots off due to los Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191060-im-always-taking-rune-priests/#findComment-2267002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coverfire Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If a Rune Priest makes a psychic power shooting attack does the rest of the squad have to shoot at the same target? Likewise, If your Rune Priest makes a psychic Power shooting attack (with say Living Lightning), can he assault a different/Closer unit?

No, unless he shot at and destroyed a transport so he can assault the things inside. They really are just like any other IC with any other gun.

Skirax Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 On a different note, how do you work out which unit the Long Fangs charge? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191060-im-always-taking-rune-priests/#findComment-2267826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Technically, they can charge any of the units they shoot at. But why would you ever charge with Long Fangs?

Coverfire Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Technically, they can charge any of the units they shoot at. But why would you ever charge with Long Fangs? ummm.. Lead by Logan Grimnar and to prevent being charged by anything with Furious Charge? You could move, shoot and charge so you don't get hit by I5 Attacks next turn. Unlikely but an example Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191060-im-always-taking-rune-priests/#findComment-2267841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Surely then you'd just charge with Logan on his own and save the Long Fangs from taking unnecessary wounds?

Woulfeheart Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I once had a unit of Grey Hunters charged by a unit of Ork Boyz. They made their test for Counter Attack, and proceeded to destroy the entire unit before any of the orks could attack.

Hrothgar Beastslayer Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Njal recently killed 2 Zoanthropes a venomthrope and a biovore with one JOTWW, then proceeded to level smaller squads with murderouse hurricane. As a side question, does anybody ever even use fury of the wolf spirits?

Skirax Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 I was just being hypothetical. But I only use Fury of the Wolf Spirits when I have a small unit of Power Armoured enemies left over that I need to kill for a Kill Point.
