With the new codex right around the corner, there are lots of new abilities that we will be quick to look up and starting figuring into lists, or in most of our cases, how to counter. Lets take a look at the latest info coming our way this morning on the Rune Priest.
Please remember that this codex has not been released, so consider these rumors until they can be verified.

The Rune Priest comes with a Runic Axe, Acute Senses, Counter-Attack, and is a level 1 Psyker that can be upgraded to level two for a quarter. He does not come with a psychic hood but may purchase one, and the same goes for upgrading to runic armour. Discplines are Biomancy, Daemonology, Divination, Telekinesis, and Tempestas. His points start off cheap, since I know you can't show them I wont mention them, and he does have 2 wounds and a weapon skill of 5.
