Right. The LRs are better off using their Anti-Tank shots at armour,
rather than as Universal Psyker Assasination on a dozen different units.
This is a bad thing?
And as for an all SHW Titan, instead of it being able to assasinate 4
different pykers in 4 different units, it too must concentrate its
firepower on one detachment. Usually another Titan. In fact, it would
encourage a mix of weapons. This is a bad thing too?

And this is a good thing? IMHO, and I do mean IMHO, LRs are not ipso
facto Cheese for 35 pts. Unless they're used to fire at multiple
individual hi-value (read Psyker) units in a dozen different enemy
detachments, and unless used with a few squads of 15cm range bikes to
"soak up" BMs. 45cm Devastators? fine.
