Wow, can we say shady wound allocation, I see this being a really hard dex to beat.

Hmmn, the more I hear about this leaked version the more I don't believe it. I can't fathom GW completely breaking the game with a weapon like the above Psycannon and Psilencer.
C'mon a Heavy 4 auto cannon? Better yet a Heavy 12 heavy bolter?
I hope these are dream leaks or well done frauds, because if this is true, I'll have to consider playing another game for a while. Codex Creep is getting out of hand.
For those that play GK's though, more power to you, lol.

C'mon a Heavy 4 auto cannon? Better yet a Heavy 12 heavy bolter? Yet no Lascannon, Plasmacannon? (Unless they take a LR at 250 pts) NO Plasma Guns, no MELTAS or Multi Meltas... no tank commanders or power fists? No storm shields? No Land speeders, Predators? No hot shot lasguns or Starcannons? No lance weapons? (not counting Henchmen, who can take a couple of these weapons) I think the Psilencer and Psicannon are fine when all things are considered, and I think everyone else will hold up just fine.

We'll just have to wait and see when the official dex is released. I still believe codex creep is out of hand and GW really needs to reign it in.
Trust me High Marshall, GW wouldn't release them without at least some anti heavy tank capabilities. When you look at it, most transports don't go over armor 12, and Strength 7 is quite capable of doing damage to that. Armor 14 is on what? 4 vehicles in the game?
Ork Battlewagon (front only) Necron Monolith Space Marine Land Raider Dark Angels Master of the Raven Wing Speeder (very specialized)
I would take a H4 autocannon over a Lascannon any day my friend.

Ork Battlewagon (front only) Necron Monolith Space Marine Land Raider Dark Angels Master of the Raven Wing Speeder (very specialized) I would take a H4 autocannon over a Lascannon any day my friend. Front Armor on Leman Russ, which in fact the Strongest going tourney theme. Called Mech Guard, and it includs 9 Leman Russ'es, and is the HARDest to beat specialized list out there according to Dakka. Also, there is purposely supposed to be no/little heavy tank. The reason is to make you purchase Stormravens (which have anti take capability, dreadnoughts (so not everyone is fielding only dreadnights) and Land Raiders ($$$) There is a weapon noone knows about though: The Heavy Psicannon - at least I have not seen this on any forums, but it is listed as a weapon for the Dreadknight. Its pretty much been confirmed that the Grey Knights codex only has some minor modifications since its original list. I may have had the name of the Psilencer wrong, I believe the Heavy 12 Psilencer is actually the Gatling Psilencer, and its only mounted on the Dreadknight. So, the Dreadknight is not fearless. It has ATSKNF. I personally believe this bad boy is pretty balanced... A lot of armies can kick its ass. Just rambling and waiting at this point. I will send my Templars army TMO, but keep a small army transport with me , with Grey Knights, until fly out of Jun 11.

And personally, I think the emperor is going to come back to life, travel back in time and be the new CEO of GW. There be only MEQ. All SMs get a 1+ invul. Game over. Woot!
