Does giving Rune Priests different psychic powers satisfy the rule in the Space Wolf Codex that all must have unique wargear/psychic options?

No.

They need different powers AND different wargear.

Two Bare Priests with just 1 Power Different is not legal. The 2nd priest needs a CotS or a Meltabomb or something.

Why?

It needs to be different wargear AND different psychic powers

Because the rules say so?

The rules say you need different Powers and different Wargear. Having just different powers isn't enough.

page 81 Space wolves codex "The Leaders of the Pack" : To Represent this, no two characters may bear the same saga, nor may they bear the same psychic powers or wargear options.

Seems that having different psychic powers satisfies the "same psychic powers OR wargear options" requirement. Perhaps if it said "and" instead, it would be all inclusive for powers and wargear, but I read it that having either different wargear or different powers satisfies the condition.

You are wrong.

It means that they cannot have the same sagas, or wargear or powers.

If ANY of them are the same, it's not a legal choice.

i took it to mean they can't have the same psychic powers or the same wargear
as in having a rune priest with a plasma pistol then using living lightning and jaws then taking anothe rune priest with a plasma pistol and different powers wouldn't be allowed as they have the same wargear even though they have different powers

That reading would mean a restriction on having the same wargear AND powers.

yeah, neither set can match, its a classic "or" gate.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing with me .

One must just take the time to look at the GW Space Wolves FAQ (specifically page 5).


Q. Can you clarify how The Leaders of the Pack
works with regards to psychic powers?

A. No number of Rune Priests may share the exact
same two psychic powers. For example, a Rune
Priest may choose to take Living Lightning and
Thunderclap. A second Rune Priest may then
choose to take Living Lighting and Jaws of the
World Wolf, as he will not have the same two
psychic powers as the first Rune Priest. Note that
the restriction on weapons and wargear still
applies, so you have to have each Rune Priest
with a unique wargear selection. Also note that
Njal Stormcaller knows all seven powers rather
than just two, so no other Rune Priest can end up
having the same powers. Thus it is permitted to
take Njal Stormcaller alongside other Rune
Priests.

Although that particular FAQ is superfluous since the original rule is crystal clear.
