Karack Blackstone Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 so what do you think the rune warriors are? Rune Warriors... - Mini-sagas - Access to Runic Armor, for a points cost of course - Something that has not been seen before, some system by which the WG/WGPL/WGBL is improved in a way that is totally new. Edit: These are guesses, to say it. Please realize that is all they are.

Leif Bearclaw Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 An substantiated rumour that's unlikely to ever actually exist? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293997-rumored-runic-warriors-discussion-thread/#findComment-3745963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 An substantiated rumour that's unlikely to ever actually exist? That this remains to be seen is true; the problem is, it's actually a rather interesting prospect considering the runes that Rune Warriors have might be mini sagas more than anything else is an option still. Waiting and seeing is the most likely safest outcome here: as much as I would like this to be true, it is still up in the air, however it does make sense that it could be true. I'd like it to be true, of course; that said, wait and see is my current approach.

You're right about the waiting and seeing, and as a concept (assuming it's vaguely what I think it is) it's far better then some things that they could add to the Wolves (like a derpy Giant Wolf MC), or have done before (TWC). But as the first rumour about them that I've seen surfaced this afternoon, maximum salt and patience is the only sensible course.

But as the first rumour about them that I've seen surfaced this afternoon, maximum salt and patience is the only sensible course. Salt to taste, of course. That said, the real issue I see right now is that with GW's really skewed outlook, this is something to have sat on and only let slip once the prereleases hit the people that are to start the rumors flowing get them. Since GW is on a models then Codex run that's been hampering their sales a bit (Orks come to mind), the mini sagas option sounds about right. Another rumor however has that massive MC led by a SW handler (Likely a WP or RP). This is all predicated by the fact that GW's new releases are always in reverse order as well, again, Orks being the evidence most recent in that regard.

That is all; there's no rumors there, only options of what the Rune Warriors box might lead to in terms of rules that results in said box.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Plus any rumors without a flier included are probably made-up. A new codex without flier access would be gutting.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 @Skeletoro: Giant ones, with missiles and turrets too!! It would be cool if the Runic Warriors end up actually materializing that they would be like the Wolf Guard Battle Leaders from the last codex. Taken in units like the sanguinary priests for Blood Angels and distributed into packs to grant small buffers!! Mostly, just give me a goddamn elite warrior kit to bash around with, GW!!

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 What a 1-click set of 3 giant ravens with missiles tied to them??!! And a giant bear with a Warden surrounded by 15 Fenrisian Wolves!! That's my army right there. Play it all day, every day!! ...seriously. I'd play that all day long.

MalachiOfRuss Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Could be we just get ravens. We will not get Storm Ravens, if they were going to give SW the Storm Raven they would have done it already in Death from the Skies, like they did for Codex Marines and Black Templars. We will get our own flyer(s) - hopefully they are assault vehicles.

Rift Blade Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hate to say it but I think we will get the Storm Raven as our flyer. No disrespect Malachiofruss but just 'cause we did not get it in Death From the Skies does not really mean anything. They could have just Faq'd us Flakk missiles & I think we will see those in a new Codex. But I also believe we might get our own flyer like the Nephilim or the Storm Talon. It's more wolfy so to speak to give us our own fighter & a generic transport then it is to get our own special transport. Not really in character for us Wolves but I could be wrong. Kinda of hoping I am for some reason but.... . The Rune Warriors may be plausible as an anti psyker unit. Again, seems more our style.

skeletoro Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 wouldn't be surprised if the 'rune warriors' was a name they came up with for a SW counterpart to honour guard. So... 2+ save. Just guessing. But if they're lead by a rune priest then I would suspect they have some kind of psychic shtick. Brotherhood of psykers maybe, maybe not. Perhaps a special DtW thing. Maybe they'll get a dispel bubble?

skeletoro Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 From 4chan, next issue: War Diary: Armies on Parade is go! Codex: Apocripha Thousand Sons beware Last bit COULD be a reference to SW. It would especially make sense if Rune Priests and rumoured Rune Warriors are getting released and given anti-psyker rules. I can't help but wonder whether runic warriors will have eyes of warding ala Prospero Burns. Beware Maleficarum!!!

Khine Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I agree with Skeletoro. I could totally see the runewarriors being anti psychers.Also, i'm just going to come out and say it. I doubt we are getting any sort of flier. I think we will just get access to cheaper flakk missiles. That's it.

MeatGrinder Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Assuming its true, Im betting on a rune priest kit/wolf guard box combo kit, just like the chaplain with command squad box.
