Hey all, I was perusing through some of the options for Grey Knight Land Raiders, and noticed a peculiarity: if one equips a Land Raider Crusader with Psybolt Ammunition, its Hurricane Bolters (and any Pintle Storm Bolters) count as Strength 5. Would this mean they are no longer defensive weapons, or will they still count due to being "upgraded" to Strength 5?

If not, this seems like a pretty pointless "upgrade" to the vehicle, unless you really enjoy upgraded Assault cannons...

Isn't it like 5pts? That makes it worth it just for the effect on the assault cannon.

Don't own the codex, so can't answer the rules question

Is the hurricane bolter a S4 or less weapon after the upgrade? No. Thus, no longer defensive.

It is 4X more expensive on tanks with multiple weapons that would benefit from it.

Psybolt ammo on the crusader is a poor tactical choice(same for the Storm raven, should you pay for hurricane bolters)
