Mike Brandt is the man.
Seriously.
The man.
All credit where credit is due, this was all his fault... errr.... idea.
You may recall I was debating what Rune Priest powers to give to my "I'm not a psyker I'm a Space Wolf we hate Psykers I just... call on the power of the elements... ish" guy.
It was a tough choice because frankly there are at least 3 powers I can see as being VERY useful and 2 more that I can see being SITUATIONALLY useful.
How to pick? Mike asked, "why not take them all?"
Well Mike. This Bud's for you. (Metaphorically speaking only I hate Budweiser, lol).

Yeah, the extra wounds on the TWC units were nice. But this is SO much better. Do you really think people are going to be shooting at the Cavalry units with a Njal/Logan/Multimelta unit with Stealth in midfield? I don't think so either.
What are you bringing? I gotcha covered. IG blobs? Good luck with your commissar's initiative test on Jaws. Descent of Angels spam? Dangerous Terrain tests for everyone! Need Logan's unit to run around in the open and don't have any screening units? I'll take that 4+ cover save in open terrain, thanks. I just nuked your Land Raider and you are going to charge me with the TH/SS termies inside? Well have fun making difficult/dangerous checks twice.
Low model count? Sure. Do I care? Not really.
Oh boy. Njal, the ultimate Swiss Army knife. The best part? The reason I use a Rune Priest in Terminator armor in the first place is because I am using a Njal model that is probably the best mini I have EVER painted, and I can't bear not to use the mini.
It's like... it was meant to be.
