Probably. Weirdboy bolts are specifically mentioned
in TL. Psychic saves work against anything psychic or warp-
based (even vortex missiles, which I don't particularly agree
with but it's in the rules), while void shields only stop
psychic powers that are not a direct attack, such as Mind
Blast, Psychic Lock, or the chaos card that lets you take
control of a unit for a turn.

well, minotaurs are cheap for the points when you
compare them to cultists or beastmen. As far as truly cheap
troops go, fiends are probably the only thing out there.

You can't always garuntee that... it's just another
strike against them in my book. I don't like taking low-morale
troops unless I *know* they're going to be in LOS of their GD
for the entire game (like trolls in a plague tower).
