TacoMareen Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Because he runs with combi-weapon terminators and usually just rolls on Divination. It is cheaper to get a 2+ save and I also use him as a "count as" Njal for my company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykryl Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Actually now when you take tda you get no weapon and must buy a weapon if you want one. Personally I love the tda rune priest but that was my first HQ unit ever so I have a bit if a bias towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drunk Guardian Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 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?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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 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!! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/4/21/706933_md-.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Where'd you get that head? I think it's the same one that Tommie Soule used for his Rune Priest. Definitely fits the archetype. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It's from the fantasy Empire Wizard kit, that one has lots of really useful gubbins,flaming sword, the top of his rune staff here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The best and simplest lightning I have see was cut from blast markers, the ones that are like metallic colored with lighting in the middle, it looks really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlodVargarna Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm thinking of running a RP with Armor of Russ. Only 10 points more than Runic and you get 4++ and the initiative shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolfLord Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runefyre Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Here is my latest rune priest conversion (using BaC chaplain) definitely still WiP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamGaz Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 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 ). Need to do some clean up work and add some more wolfy mcguffins before breaking out the paint pots. http://i.imgur.com/VESfP95l.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/0x7A2yjl.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/jakSgaPl.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wispy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/denofimagination/24601973744/in/album-72157664851087052/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
