I have a pretty solid space wolves army with a runepriest and a wolf lord. Should i cut the wolf lord or rune priest to make additions, or just keep both?

depends on what else you have and how many points it is. wolflords are only worth it if its a thunderwolf lord as they dont get into combat quick enough otherwise. rune priests are excelent.

get rid of the wolf lord for another rune priest.

You should post the list, it will help a lot.

Post the list, it could make a big difference.

Having at least one Rune Priest is a good idea. The Runic Weapon is just too good to pass up for psychic defense. Their powers are pretty amazing as well!

Wolf Lords are great however. I wouldn't dismiss him out of hand. I suspect we'll be seeing more in this edition, even those not on a Thunderwolf. The Challenges rules for Assault are where they'll really excel.

I would suspect we could see slightly less wolf lords on mounts just as wolf guard battle leader on mounts now give outflank(with acute senses) plus stealth.
Also I fear 8 vindicator lists are just around the corner.

Saga of the Hunter is Infantry Only. Thunderwolf mounts make the model Cavalry. Also you can't charge on the turn you arrive from Reserve so its less scary now. Honestly, except for the length wise match ups, it wouldn't even really be worth doing given how much distance they can cover normally.

Agreed on the Vindicators though. Since you can't keep them shaken they'll be more popular. Target priority...
