They are Heavy 6.


Psylincers are exclusivly for taking out high toughness Daemons like Greater Daemons,The Avatar and DP.Normally,at Str 4,they would wound on a 5 or 6.But they have special rules that allow them to wound on 4+.

Basically,if you know that you are going to be fighting Daemons or CSM that focus around Summoned Greaters and DP,then take them.They are also good against hordes,where the high number of shots,low armour saves and low toughness can be devastating.

Psycannons are more expensive,I believe?

I am not saying take psylincers.They suck eggs that suck the eggs of people that suck eggs.Always take psycannons if you can afford it.
