The Runic Archive

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

So, the new edition has arrived and things have changed. One thing I am curious about is what new runic combos do you all take now? Is the old and familiar combos still work or has the new rules changed our choices for the characters, banners and war machines?

What are your combos?

I'd just like to say that being new to the dwafish throng theese combos rock.

I have a question about the RoPreservation. Because the new rules took out US does having shield bearers still confer immunity to killing blow? If so the rune becomes a lot more viable on your general

Sadly, it does not. You can now be killing blowed, if carried by the ShieldBearers.

ive noticed pretty much all the combos still work the same. but i have a question. if i take 2 runes of iron(5+ward save) and the master rune of spite (4+ward) can they combine to make a 2+ ward save? im asking because i heard in my local hobby shop one time that ward saves are combined to make a better ward save (my wordng is weird but i think u guys get the gist) if not then does the 6+ ward save from a hand weapon shield combine with either of those runes?

Unfortunately ward saves don't stack unless the item(s) specify they can. In the case you have multiple ward saves for a model, you take the best one and use that. So in this example, you's use the MRoSpite's 4+ ward as it is the best available.
