Horus Heresy 2e Review: Caster of Runes

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4/5 stars. The rules are good.  

Background.
They may protest that they are channeling the heart of Fenris all they like. The truth is that they are just as much a psyker as the Thousand Sons are. Except they lie about it. Does this make them worse?

Strengths.
The special Space Wolves psykers are called Casters of Runes. They come with 2 special powers under the Winds of Fenris powers which consist of a template weapon attack that has deflagrate (psychic test to boost to a whopping S=10!), and a second one to grant shrouded at 5+ (psychic test to boost to 3+). Both are excellent. Adamantium will is the icing on the proverbial cake. 

Weaknesses.
The upgrade costs the same as a regular librarian, hence there are zero weaknesses in comparison to other legions here. 

Builds.
Caster of Runes in Cataphractii Armour, Force Axe, Psychic Hood (145 points).
Exactly the same build as the regular librarian. 

Caster of Runes in Aether-Rune Armour, Psychic Hood, Jump Pack (150 points).
I really love the aether-rune armour for Space Wolves characters. Its just rude without compare - always take it where you can.
