Thank you for the information!
I've checked it out and found psycannon upgrades to be pretty costy :-P They are sometimes very useless, because assault cannons upgraded with psybolt ammo work as same as psycannon (S7 AP4 Heavy4) and are cheaper than FW's psycannon upgrades :lol: .
Today I played 1000pt. game with my GK against Kondo-san's Chaos Daemons (almost exclusively Khornite). Believe it or not, it was a very tough game. Dreadnought with Assault Cannon and Psybolt Ammo and Razorback armed with TL Heavy Bolter with Psybolt Ammo did great job eliminating a flying Daemon Prince.

Yeah, having just checked all the values:
Razorback with TL Psycannon = Razorback with TL Assault Cannon and Psybolt ammo.
Dreadnought with TL Psycannon = Dreadnought with TL Assault Cannon and Psybolt ammo +5 points
LR Redeemer or Crusader with TL Psycannon = LR Redeemer or Crusader with TL Assault Cannon and Psybolt ammo +15 points

The only 'good' option is the choice to take a TL Psycannon for a regular Land Raider in place of its Heavy Bolters (it has no option for the Assault Cannon), but even this costs 40 points and the Grey Knight Land Raider is already more expensive than the marine version.

Ha! Gretchin power! My gretchin took out a GK hero once (about two editions ago...) too! (After he had wiped out an entire unit of Stormboyz all by himself)
