The Rune Priests Thread

I'm quite new to space wolves, so please excuse the noobyness this question may seem to be. I have noticed hardly any of the rune priests are in terminator armor, why is this?

I think a good portion of the Priests shown here are either the actual Rune Priest model or Njal. There isn't really a benefit to having one in TDA. Runic was cheaper before. When you take TDA you swap your pistol for a Stormbolter which loses you an attack as you no longer hack to close combat weapons.

No Storm Shield, you lose +1A from Bolt Pistol, and you lose Sweeping Advance.

 

Only synergizes well with full Terminator units, which aren't enormously popular.

Floki Twice-Born Rune Priest in Bran Redmaw's great company. Name blatantly stolen from the character on Vikings cause I thought it sounded cool, also he's kinda insane so I thought that kind of personality would be fun for a Rune Priest. The plan is to have an arc of lightning coming from his staff to his hand, though I'm uncertain exactly how to pull that odd, so it might have to be scrapped. He has been primed since the pic was taken, so... progress!!

Try using some thin wire painted white then layered with some kind of lacquer. Awesome conversion, brother!!

I always run a lvl 2 Rune Priest with Helm of Durfast. Rerolling to hit on psychic shooting is great and the added bonus of ignoring cover is great.

Living Lightning is a pretty good skimmer killer as no jink.

 

Sorry no idea how to upload a pic of my Rune Priest

That rune on his elbow looks weird defying gravity and all. Clip and hang according to the law of physics.

WIP - Started with the White Scar biker from Deathwatch Overkill, and added wolfy bits. The staff is from a plague bearer banner and the bolter idea was shamelessly lifted from another post I saw here (because it is a good idea biggrin.png ).

Need to do some clean up work and add some more wolfy mcguffins before breaking out the paint pots.

it is technically an eagle, though the paint job easily changes that.

 

I want to do a conversion of the White Scars biker, too. I like this Den of Imaginations rune priest conversion. Hopefully I can arrive at something similar.
