Already filled to the brim with wrist-mounted Storm Bolters, the Grey Knights found themselves rather lacking in psychic punch and decided to branch out to the Heavy Bolter area.

It is essentially their equivalent of the Heavy Bolter that fires heavier Psybolts, Bolt shells that radiate with negative psychic energy on top of having silver on their tips and Daemon-away inscriptions around them. Psycannons are all equipped with an anti-gravitic suspensor which allows it to be fired on the go. While this makes it shorter in range than the Heavy Bolter, its mobility, rate of fire, and wounding capability is strictly better than the Heavy Bolter. It also does more damage, on average, to any possible target than an Autocannon, despite having the same strength and AP. Depending on which variant you use (see below), it can also be strictly better than a Storm Bolter as well. The Grey Knights equip their [[Purgation Squad]]s with Psycannons like they are Heavy Bolters, while their Terminators carry them one-handed as normal Terminators would do with an Assault Cannon. A Doomglaive Dreadnought is also equipped with a Heavy Psycannon, the same variant that can be found on the Nemesis Dreadknight. The [[Grey Knights|Grey Knights']] version of the Land Raider Redeemer ripped off the Twin Assault Cannons in favor of the Twin Psycannons! Even frontal tank armour can simply melt away under the onslaught of 8 S7 AP-1 rounds. Psycannon mounts on other Grey Knights vehicles such as on a Thunderhawk use the same turret model.

Because GW are total idiots, Psycannons have different profiles depending on which Codex yours happens to come from. Inquisitorial Psycannons are drastically better when fired by non-Relentless models, even though the Grey Knights are the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Malleus, and you'd expect them to have better gear overall. Unfortunately for the Inquisition, only Terminator Inquisitors, an Ordo Malleus upgrade, can take Psycannons; meaning that there is no difference between them, given that Heavy of the Inquisitorial Terminators and Salvo of the Grey Knights are functionally the same on Relentless models. As of 8th Edition, both types now use the same profile, yet Inquisition pay more than double the points that Grey Knights do! C'mon GW - get it together!
