so here is my 1.5k list for wendigo... just need the frost maiden or proxy models.

Ice witch Ka2 rune of protection frostbite blade scepter of ice 180 Cheiftan: bone armour dbl hnd weapon 126 Shaman: 60 Abominable snowbeast 150 10 hunters hand weapons javelins standard 240 6 warriors dbl hnd weapon std muso rune of swiftness 188 7 warriors dbl hnd weapon, 2x hand weapon std muso 202 10 frost maidens: rune of protection 350 1496 total.

I may be mistaken, but I'm not sure you can give the same rune to 2 different units. If the witch was in the frostmaidens, I think that is OK, but if she leaves, does she lose the benefits of the runestone?

The ice witch joins the frost maidens as a unit for extra killy potential hence why both she and them have the same rune yes. (kinda thought that was obvious) if she leaves later on in the game she does retain the rune just like ammulets with a character detaching from a unit keeps the ammulet.. (only really happening if provocation ensues)

Just to be clear, if the Ice Witch detaches from her unit, her runestone ceases to function for the rest of the game.

That's what I thought. So no rune in provocation.

hmmm that's gonna hurt.... I completely skipped that section when putting together even after reading it through earlier regarding if frost maidens get them lol that's kinda silly of me... I'll prolly still run the unit like that and throw something else at the enemy harb first before i get stuck in with the ice witch then.

edit for spelling etc...
