Hi guys, I was checking lexicanum for some grey knight background in order to come up with some ideas for voice lines (fyi: didnt work) and while i was reading the strike squad description I ran into this:

This is a psycannon strike squad model http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2diouif&s=5

And this is a psilencer strike squad model http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=wm0z1u&s=5

Now this is a "psycannon" purgation squad from the game http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=x1yi6g&s=5

Now according to lexicanum psilencers are psychic machineguns while psycannons are ,well, cannons.

I know that psycannon sounds much more cooler but in order to keep the game lore accurate I think the weapon name should be changed to psilencers which is what they actually are.

Actually, if you look at the fluff/GK codex you can see that Pselincers are designed to kill daemons. They always wounds daemons on 4+ (if you play the tabletop) but Psycannons have Str 7 and Rending, which means the can damage vehicles extermelly well. As the in-game Purgation squad weapons do in fact damage vehicle, they have Psycannons. :P

Edit: I would suggest to change the name of the GK Dread weapon from Dreadnough Claw to Nemesis Doomfist, as that is what they actualy carry.

Oh my bad then, never played tabletop cause the figures are impossible to get in my country but you have to admit that those things look identical :P

Looks like they are, I thnk probably because the Grey Knights were implemented from another mod and there they had the Psilencer model.
