Ah, well, this puts another perspective on our discussion. I always
assumed that when it said "psyker" and "psychic attack", it actually
meant that the unit had psychic powers. If the Slann magi merely bends
the warp, how can he stop other psychics powers which aren't warp
related? Isn't bending the warp in fact the highest pinnacle of pychic
powers? You're able to do something with your mind that usually requires
a high level of technology and a whopping big weapon to do?
So, we're down to this : 3+ psy save for Slann magi (im assuming this
was erroneously omitted from the text), and no psy save for a Slann
titan.
The problem with keeping Skink scouts close to the titan, is that they
have to be in an elevated position to have LOS to other inf. stands.
This wouldn't be such a hassle if armies such as IG,Eldar and SM didn't
all have plenty of weapons to take out buildings. I agree that this is
a weak point with the Slann, and i'm not trying to remove all their
weaknesses, i just want a logical explanation.

un modifide save of 3+ no matter what type of weapon its it but I,ve never
played them that way. For, the Slann magus is in a way no different then a
Weird boy, He really has no Psychic powers. He is someone that can control
the powers from the warp. Which in a way are physical / non-psychic powers.
As for cutting down the distance forget it a Slann mage cost 3 time a normal
mage, and the distance just balance it out, exspecially with no psyhic save.
As for the Titan having a save it would be inpossible for it takes all of
the mage's power and mind control just to operate this monstorisity. Thus
the week link in the Slann, all armies have one and good players will find
them. A good tatic for playing slann is to try and keep Skink scouts by your
valued models, in this way you may target HQ's and he would have to be
within 25cm to shoot them, fair trade acouple of your whimpy skinks for his
warlock. For once he is dead your Titan is free again. Just keep in mind
that the Slann mage really only bends the power of the warp with his mind,
he really does not have psychic powers as the ohters do.
