Inquisitor 117 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Ok, I couldnt find this any where... As I read the entry for Murderous Hurricane I became a little confused. Does it only apply when the Skimmers/Jetbikes/Jumpers enter from Deep Strike, or does it still apply to them because they are Skimmers/Jetbikes/Jumpers?

dswanick Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Murderous Hurricane makes no mention of a units Type. Perhaps you meant Tempest's Wrath? Used at the beginning of the Rune Priest's turn. Until the beginning of the Rune Priest's next turn, all enemy skimmers, jetbikes, jump infantry and units deploying by Deep Strike that finish their move within 24" of the Rune Priest... This can be a little confusing given the wording but the rule is giving you 4 specific Types which are affected. 1. Skimmers 2. Jetbikes 3. Jump Infantry 4. Units deploying by Deep Strike. If 1-3 were only to be affected if they were deploying by Deep Strike then there would be no need to list them, as they would already be covered by the "units deploying by Deep Strike" criteria. As an aside, beware of those who will claim that only Skimmers are 'enemy only' and who will try and argue that your own Jetbikes (not that Space Wolves have any), Jump Infantry, and Deep Striking units are affected.

Inquisitor 117 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yes, Tempests wrath! Thank you! I was away from my 'dex this morning. How effective is this ability? I would assume its great against Tau and Eldar/DE? But what about Jump heavy Space marines?

Wulfebane Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yes, Tempests wrath! Thank you! I was away from my 'dex this morning. How effective is this ability? I would assume its great against Tau and Eldar/DE? But what about Jump heavy Space marines? I had the fortune of bringing Njal to a tourney at my LGS, otherwise I wouldn't have normally had Tempest's Wrath, and luck of the draw put me with a "Descent of Angels" army (entirely jump infantry Blood Angels). He chose to deepstrike his entire army and I got to go first, so I rushed my whole army into the center of the field and waited, while Njal was popping Tempest's Wrath. I'd managed to kill about 10 out of 40 BAs from Njal alone before my opponent even got into melee. I would think the same situation would be amazing against chaos daemons too.

I would assume its great against Tau and Eldar/DE? But what about Jump heavy Space marines? This power serves two main purposes : 1. As mentioned above - DoA lists. It can maul Blood Angels DoA lists, and can put a serious hurting on any other SM army which relies heavily on Deep Strike deployment. Including one guy at my LGS who insists on running a 7 Drop Pod Space Wolves net-list. ;) 2. It can keep a Fast Xenos army honest. One guy in my LGS runs a Dark Eldar Raider/Ravager spam list, and for some reason is reluctant to move his Fast Skimmers Flat Out towards my units in the same way he does with everyone else's lists. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250762-rune-priest-clarification/#findComment-3039602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I've killed a Stormraven carrying a BA libby, sang priest, Furioso Dread and Assault Terminators in one go with it before, so it has the potential to wreck an opponent that doesn't respect the power. I've done the same thing to a DE Tantalus carrying an Archon, a squad of wyches and a Succubus. In both cases, they made a flat-out move into the area of effect and rolled a 1. I always take it as my second power, in the event that I get paired against a number of different opponents. Not something to base a whole battle plan around, but it can add a significant element of battlefield control to your force Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250762-rune-priest-clarification/#findComment-3039745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimtooth Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 A staple on my rune priest. Very intimidating to fast attack armies. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250762-rune-priest-clarification/#findComment-3040864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Tekka Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Would this also work vs necron's harbingers of ...whatever... that move via deepstrike during his movement phase?

Inquisitor 117 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 So if you had 2 Rune priests with this, you essentially have 8 feet of coverage? 24" radius with 2 Rune Priests strategically placed 46"-48" apart.... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250762-rune-priest-clarification/#findComment-3041657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasterfree Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 i dont have dex at work so i cant look at the wording of the power, but if the range is 24 then yes.

As are Dark Eldar, Eldar, Tau, Blood Angels, some Grey Knights, and Space Marines of all flavors. But it's not as huge as it seems, as it's just Dangerous Terrain (1 in 6 chance per model of even having any affect).

The beautiful thing that Inqusitor 117 has brought to my attention is another way to create a situation for my opponent to roll dice. I'm a brand new Wolves player and just pumped about getting them going. These are useful tips to again cause your opponent to roll dice and reduce their units impact.
