adary Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hi Guys, My Rune Priest is in the mail, and I was wondering what do you folks do about the plasma pistol. I don't really see myself fielding him with a plasma pistol, but then, you never know :) Do I just cut off the hand with the plasma pistol carefuly, magnetize it, and swap for a hand holding a bolt pistol? Or are there any better ideas? Looking forward to your feedback :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238239-rune-priest-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dswanick Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 the left on looks like finecast :( Nope, they're both the same metal model with non-standard hands - Bolt Pistol instead of the Plasma Pistol on the right, and a Spear holding hand and an outstretched hand for the one on the left.

-Volsung- Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I actually like that pose. The hand makes it seem like he's about to shoot lightning out. Kinda like a Sith-lightning Palpatine look to it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238239-rune-priest-advice/#findComment-2873182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like a Sith-lightning Palpatine look to it Just not feeling the hand gesture as it doesn't look right to me, but that's just me. What do I know about these things LOL. Now if he had used one of the Grey Knights hands it would work far better, and would be far more believable for a Rune Priest.

Now if he had used one of the Grey Knights hands it would work far better, and would be far more believable for a Rune Priest. Agreeing with Mav on both points. In fact, that pose would be one of the few (if not only) poses I would ever actually use the demon head-holding GK hand. Being a psyker, it'd be so much more appropriate. Not having the $$ for it is understandable. I do LOVE the spear stance, though the spear itself seems a bit bland. As for the OP, IMO so long as you get rid of the plasma pistol it doesn't matter much what you do with it. Personally, I use my RPs as standard codex loadout and/or in TDA, but since they always always always have a psychic shooting ability in my lists, I never see them fire a sidearm. And as Arez said, you don't have to use the GW "rune priest" model, you can make your own from the SW pack or TDA pack boxes and it'd work just fine. A key bit of WYSIWYG gear you should put on him though is the runic weapon, whether it's an axe, spear, staff, sword or a peace pipe for all it matters, just so long as a "force weapon" is there.

Grey Mage Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I dont use that model as a Rune Priest, but rather in the black armor of the Wolf Priest- he gets plasma pistol regularly, and runic armor. If you dont like the Plasma Pistol on it, no matter what you choose to field it as, there is a wonderful bolt-pistol bit, at the wrist onward, in the space marine captain box- I highly reccomend picking that set up, if nothing else the combi-weapons are a godsend, and it has plenty of cool bits to personalize some characters and wolf gaurd.

adary Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks for all the ideas folks I will definitely look into some more options :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238239-rune-priest-advice/#findComment-2873313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. A. K. Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 if this is the model I think it is (axe and plasma pistol) your work is done for you cuz the axe and the PP aren't even modeled on the guy, you have to glue them on. I agree with what was said before, put a grenade in his hand and put a holstered pistol on his belt, I have a few PF Sgts like that and no matter what I choose they are still WYSIWYG.

Valerian Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I love everything Plasma, but with all but two of the available psychic powers being psychic shooting attacks you will never use one on a Rune Priest. Simple fix is just to superglue a Bolt Pistol in its place. Mine was one from the Space Wolves pack.

Valerian Since the model didn't arrive yet, I didn't have a clue that the hand with pistol is not an integral part of the model. If its a glue-on all my problems are solved, and sine I'm a magnet freak, I bet he will have a lot of different weapon options for that hand :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238239-rune-priest-advice/#findComment-2875251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
