Feeling like adding another HQ to my army. I currently Have Logan Grimnar, Njal Stormcaller, and a Wolf Lord. Woud like more cheaper HQs to play in smaller games, as Logan and Njal cost an arm and a leg. I see that a lot of people run Rune Priests in their armies, but I have never really heard much about Wolf Priests and their success in play. The Oath of War rule sounds very appealing. What do you guys think-- Wolf Priest of Rune Priest?

Either is good, If you are mostly an Assualt Army go with the Wolf Priest other than that the Rune Priest is a great option.

When I need a cheap HQ to buff an assault squad and do some damage in CC I use a Wolf Priest. I always use a Rune Priest, mainly just for Living Lightning, deployed with my Long Fangs. If you take a Wolf Priest, make sure he gets into combat so that he can earn in his points.

Rune Priest with a Long Fang Squad is killer. Living Lightning at BS5 (from a CotS) and 5 Missles eats anything AV13 or less.

Excuse my lack of knowledge (still learning), but what is a CotS, and how does it work?

Sorry, CotS is Chooser of the Slain, and it's rules are clearly stated in the Codex

It took a bit to look for it, but there seems to be a misprint on my codex! In the 'upgrades and other equipment' page, it says under Chooser of the Slain, "See the Iron Priest entry on page 38," instead of Rune Pirest entry on page 36. Anyone else have this misprint in their SW codex? Just a heads up guys.
