As the title says, are multiple Rune Priests able to benefit from the BS increase offered by a Chooser of the Slain Marker? If an army list included multiple Choosers, would you have to designate which Rune Priest "owns" which marker (as the rules on p36 only seem to reference a single Chooser on the battlefield)?

Thanks for your help.

Reading over the rule just now, here's my response:

You only get to place one marker, because it says "An army which includes a Chooser of the Slain may place a marker ..." If it said that the Chooser could place a marker, or that it could place a marker per Chooser, then you would be able to place multiple markers.

Wow, I hadn't even considered this prior to now but it looks like solkan is right, "The army" is what gets to place the model in a given condition, that condition being that the army must include a chooser of the slain. Including further ones doesn't make a difference, because the requirements for placing the marker were already met.

The rule then goes on to refer to a singular rune priest as getting the shooting bonus, which only complicates matters further, and the first question remains relevant, does the chooser you get to place affect all rune priests, or only a nominated rune priest whose chooser is being "used" so to speak? I couldn't say for sure which of these would be more correct.

Yup, you only get 1 Chooser "mark", but each rune priest individually benefits. The Reason the description is in singular is so that 4 rune priests don't get the benefit when only one is in LoS.
