Hello, I was curious as to how the Rune priest ant-psyker ability would work, I know they have a runic weapon which acts somewhat like a psychic hood but are these abilities stackable on top of DTW??

Example:
2 Zoanthropes fire at solo rune priest, with another rune priest 6" away from the first. Zoanthropes fire two warp lances that must be rolled individually. Because they are a psychic shooting attack, he gets a deny the witch of 5+ on the first rune priest and I am assuming the runic weapon deny as a secondary deny the witch, I think that is on a 4+ because he is being targeted. my question is because there is an additional rune priest, does he get to make a further save on runic weapon because he also has a runic weapon?

Total Denies: 5+, 4+, 4+ on both psychic shooting attacks?

Man I hate rune priests.

The opponent only has 1 attempt to DTW any psychic power. He would be smart to use the best possible roll.

^ yep, somewhere there is a faq that says "choose your method wisely"

Best you can get is 4+ iirc so you get one roll of a 4+ to prevent the power.
Would have loved if they all stacked.

I assumed that would be the case, however in the rulebook it states that this rune priest runic weapon, negates all psychic abilities within 24" on a roll of four plus. I am assuming this operates much like a psychic hood, but I wasn't sure. so For deny the witch rolls you take your best possible deny instead of rolling all denies? Operates in the same mechanic as having a 4+ save and a 3+ invulvn save, obviously taking the invulvn save INSTEAD of your regular save??

Q: Can I attempt to use a Rune Priest’s runic weapon, a Wolf Tail
Talisman and make a Deny the Witch roll to nullify an enemy psychic
power?
A: No. You can only make a single attempt to prevent an
enemy psychic power, so choose your method carefully

From SW FAQ.

ok thank you very much, I really really appreciate this info because I got grinded to a halt today in a game, where my psykers were getting denied four times per ability buy these rune priests.

Shame. It's not your job to make sure people read their army's updates.

Yea but it never hurts to know them yourself

Well said my friend

I played a game today at NYC GW and, we where "unsure" if I could do this with my 2 Rune Priests.

Can you make TWO separate Deny the Witch rolls with your two Runic Weapons, on the same enemy psychic power if TWO Rune Priests are within 24" of a enemy psyker that used a power?

What if TWO enemy psychic powers are cast in the same turn within 24" of BOTH Rune Priests?

Thank you

The FAQ answered that. You only get a single attempt to cancel a psychic power.

If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
