In the rulebook, it clearly changes the range of a phychic hood to 6 inches, and if embarked in a vehicle, only affects the vehicle and its contents, and changed its mechanics. to only allowing your psycher to take the save instead of the unit.

I haven't found anywhere so far either in the book, or in the FAQ's for spacewolves where it changed the runic weapon power at all, so am I to assume that runic weapons still have a 24 inch range, nullify on a 4+, and can protect units even if your rune priests are embarked in a vehicle?

Yes its still 24inch with a 4+

Which you can then Talisman and/or Deny the Witch were those 2 rules are available.

This is going to cause quite a bit of SW hate across the tournament scene.

Why? Now (almost) every one can have a rune priest!

Are you a Space Marine player that wants his psychic hood back? Ally with space wolves and get your own rune priest.

Hahaha!

I have mentioned this at the B&C, but I think when the Chaos dex hits, the Thousand Sons rules will put the SW rules into perspective if not overshadow them.

I like your optimism.


p.s. Can the RP use his runic weapon while embarked?

Yes, as you still measure to the transport.

As long as the transport has a firing port.

Me and nos thought this, but we managed to find where it tells you to measure from hull for any other abilities that need measuring (other than shooting)
