GH or Land Raider with BC? Multiple uses of psychic shooting or charge in and jaws? Is he a viable objective holder?

He has certainly been weakened in close combat when compared to the old RP.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1031784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1031784.page GMT How to best play rune priests? The problem is to provide a delivery system for this guy
so that he can use his devastating power, the jays, unhindered.
I'd stick him into a Rhino with a unit of GH's.
If you use multiple Rhinos you could partially block LoS
to the RP's Rhino so that his Rhino eventually gets a cover save. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1031809.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1031809.page GMT How to best play rune priests?

Well, if he's too far away from the enemy, he hardly can use his psychic hood.
I'd stick him into a Rhino and keep him at mid-field. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1032008.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1032008.page GMT How to best play rune priests? Crazy good at it too with his gear and powers selection.

Rhino is decent.

I've been theoryhammering putting him on a bike to tag along with a maxed out Swiftclaw squad....prob. more 'fun' than truely effective though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1032303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1032303.page GMT How to best play rune priests? I'm not surprised that YOU came up with bike idea.
If so, I'd let him lead a larger Biker unit.
A lone Biker is a dead Biker. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1032937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1032937.page GMT How to best play rune priests? Lol, I love those bikers...of all kinds.

I was thinking:

Wolf Priest, bike
Rune Priest, bike, Chooser, Wolftail, Jaws and 3D6 str 3 attack.

10 Swiftclaws, Fist, Melta, Hvy bolter Attack bike.
Wolf guard, bike, Fist, Combi-melta.

Maybe a seonc rune priest with bike, Jaws and Living thunder.

It's really just an anti-infantry unit...with limited melta ability to get guys out of those transports. Nothing really competitive, just a bike spam.

But I do like scoring loyalist bikes though...if only Vanilla SM could get double the HQ slots........./sigh.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1033110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1033110.page GMT Re:How to best play rune priests?
But a Biked priest with Living Lightning and Jaws of the world wolf is a good way to run him. Lightnings vs those pesky vehicles or far-away targets and Jaws for any infantry type model within the 24".

Yea I like jaw + lightning.
Lightning if he wants to contribute to shooting AV, or Jaws when vs. infantry.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1033246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260234/1033246.page GMT
