Rune Lord:
Drop the MRo Flight and Ro Speed off your weapon. I would only keep Ro Fire so it counts as magical weapon, and so you can get rid of regen on things.
Drop Ro Shielding, you should be in a unit anyway. Armour wise go with; Gromril + shield + Ro Stone for a 2+save, then give him Ro Presivation and if you want to be a real pain, Ro Resistance.
If you want a ward take MRo Spite.
Personaly i wouldnt go with a Rune Lord at 1500pts, i would go with a BSB, Rune Smith, and maybe a cheap lord or another thane.

I would rather have 2 units of 20-25 Warriors with GWs 16 will get eaten up by attacks and missiles before they can become effective. Similar story with the Shield Warriors which i would be tempted to leave at home all together. You would be better off finding some points for a unit of Hammerers, so you have 3 units with GWs. 2x Warriors, 1s Hammerers. If you want a unit with shields then i sugest upgrading them to longbeards.

Thunderers: Drop the Standard and certainly the unit champion. They also cannot have runes on thier banners so Ancestor Rune is out anyway. I would also look at maybe 2 units of 10 if you can scrape some points up. Never bother with shields. your better off buying extra guns.

Rune of Accuracy only works on Grudge Throwers so drop it off the second cannon.

On the grudge thrower take: Ro Accuracy + 2x Ro Penetrating. Buy an Engineer upgrade if you want to reroll the missfire chart.If you dont have the points drop a Ro Penetration. Its cheaper than Ro Fortune which you can only use once.

An excellent thing to take in 1500pts is an organ gun. take a look.
