I have a question about this rune

the master rune of flight says "the target is hit once as if the 2 models were in combat thus any additional runes take affect"

does that mean only 1 attack or if I add 2 runes of fury then 3 attacks.

or if it can use the attack profile of the model? so I could have a dwarf lord on shield bearers with this rune and 2 runes of fury giving 6 S4 hits from the lord and the 2 S4 hits from the sheildbearers? sence it says "as if the 2 models were in combat " ?

I couldnt find any post with this anywere so if this has been answered please give me the link or let me know if ive put this in the wrong form

I think you over complicating the rune item.
"the target is hit once as if the 2 models were in combat"

You hit 1 time, that's it. Think of it like a shooting weapon.

"then any additional runes take affect"
For example if you have a no armor save, flaming attacks, str modifier, etc.

So your lord is basically throwing his hammer, you get to hit the model 1 time as if its in combat. So all combat modifier would apply. If your hitting like in combat, your utilizing your WS. Even if you take +1 attack runes, your still bound by the abilities IE hitting 1 time. Also your weapon runes do not affect your shieldbearers attacks.

You may want to double check for a FAQ though.

njpc has it, essentially. You score one hit. Typical things to combine this with are one or two of the following: rune of might, rune of cleaving, rune of fire.

If you know you're facing Elves, the rune of cleaving makes for a nice Strength 5 "sniper" style hit- good for dropping champs, mages, and the like.

I have only taken this a couple times, though- once you've shelled out for the magic hammer and thane, it's a lot of points...

Particularly since it consumes that valuable master rune a lot on the weapon that will be wasted as soon as you get into combat.
