Ok, well due to some confusion, lol, here is the link to the origins of the water warrior:
The way of the water warrior. - The Bolter and Chainsword : A 40k Space Marine Resource
And here are some quotes:

Although that last quote is disagreeable to some extent, it DOES show that the water warrior list only runs 1 psycannon. The reason it ran that one psycannon, was because in 4th ed rules, an independant character would be untargatable. Thus preventing your lone Captain from being killed while shooting.
I gotta shower and shave before I am late for work, so I don't have enough time to find what I was looking for, but if you actually read the entire thread, it reveals that the poster of this tactica in sub-sequent pages discusses psycannons and why incinerators are still better for this list.
And with 3-4 templates before you get into close combat (which every unit is capable of), Generally, most things fast enough to get to your army that is not already half dead, will die from that. Simply unload and flame away. If there is anything left, assault, and holocaust.
PS. He also discusses why Crusaders are not used.
Anyways... This is probably going to be my new list. Lol.... it is fun, and entertaining to have all those templates, and certainly both a challenge to play with, and against.
Any other ideas on how to improve it, or if it follows the idea's of the water warrior?
