The Thane o' Pain:

Typically has a rune axe with Master Rune of Swiftness, Rune of Cleaving, and Rune of Fury (so 4 Strength 5 attacks that Always Strike First). It also leaves you enough for a Rune of Stone, which with Gromril armor, and a shield gives you a nice 2+ save to go with your T5.

Not too shabby. Some people will put it (less the shield) on a BSB.

General K-

That's not a true statement. If I take a runic standard, then I can't take any other runic items. But if I leave the standard un-runed (and still very useful) then I can take runic talismans, armor, whatever (just not a shield).
