Warhammer Dwarf Tactics : Great Armour Rune Combinations (for attack & defence)

There are some superb Dwarven runic items and particularly armour rune items that create cumulative benefits when combined

Runic items are notoriously cheap in points cost (notorious if you're fighting a dwarf army or awesome if you command a Dwarven army)

Here are just a few of the combinations:-

For Defensive use

Master Rune of Adamant +1 toughness (for Lords) or Fortitude +1 wound (for Heroes)

+ rune of shielding (2+ ward against first wound) + rune of resistance (re-roll any failed armour saving throws)

or against lower strength opponents and those without great weapons, try:-

Master Rune Of Gromril (1+ Armour save)

+ rune of Resistance + rune of shielding

For Attacking Use

Master Rune of Steel (all hits greater than str 5 equal str 5 hits)

+ rune of preservation (against Elves, Lizardmen and any army with poison or a lot of Killing Blow troops / caharacters) + rune of resistance
