As you know, FW has released a razorback and LR Redeemer with a TWIN psycannon for GK instead of the regular twin assault cannon. Also, GK codex has a stratagem that increase the killing potential of his mind bullet weapons, psychic onslaught. My problem is, the stratagem triggers with any gatling psilencers, heavy psycannons, psilencers and psycannons, but no TWIN psycannons. RAW, it means for me i cant use it with these vehicles, and honestly they seem useless without it, the psycannon alone its worse than an assault cannon. Anybody knows if RAI it allows the use of the stratagem on the twin psycannon?

Keywords for weapons would be nice.

RAW, no, this does not work, since it specifically calls out the listed weapons, with Twin Psycannon not being one of them.

HIWPI is that yes, that'd be fine to use. Talk to your TO and/or opponents about it.

"The Strength and Armour Penetration characteristics of any gatling psilencers, heavy psycannons, psilencers and psycannons that unit fires are improved by 1 this phase."

"Twin psycannon" is not on the list, so the stratagem doesn't work, end of story. "RaI" is meaningless and not worth discussing in any situation.

You are, of course, free to house-rule it however you want, but then it stops being a rules question and is just a slippery slope to nonsense.

RAI is the only way some of the rules work and *not* meaningless to discuss in many situations, sigh.

I agree with JNAProductions' take.

Pretty sure a Twin Psycannon is just 2 Psycannons........

Seeing game doesn't work without considering RAI yes it's worth. Especially if oyu want to house rule game to something that a) actually works b) something that makes even mediocre sense.

The rules don't say it it. The same way that a "Hurricane Bolter" isn't treated as 6 Bolters by the rules.

As Bacon properly points wording it's important specially on this edition.

Quick example Blazing star of Vaul FAQ states wich weapons get the advantage , shuriken pistol or Twin shuriken catapult.

The original rule just mention shuriken pistol or shuriken catapult.

So i'm pretty sure the wording of the rules (leaving Twin Psycannon out ) not consider it as a choice for the stratagem

GW doesn't, as a rule, consider FW things for inclusion in their (GW's) rules.
