It probably doesn't need clarified beyond that but just in case, there's no bonus for hitting any model with multiple templates. The model is either under a template and is attacked once or it's not. The only way any target under a barrage receives multiple attacks is a WE under the center of a barrage. |

Thanks for the good intell guys ! So the same would go for a Manticore and Bombard unit ?! No Disrupt or Ignore Cover ? |

L4, I believe the same rule applies throughout E:A In order to make use of a particular ability the entire formation has to have it. So for example, Terminators with a LandRaider upgrade cannot teleport; a mixed Eldar EoV formation with a Cobra in it loses the Cobras IC etc. In your example, by firing the Manticores together with the Bombards, the formation loses Disrupt (Manticore) and Ignore cover (Bombard). |

Ginger I think that's only true for Barrage Weapons Leman Russ Demolishers firing their Demolisher Cannons and Heavy Bolters don't lose IC on the Cannons. |

Random thought: There are some rather huge War Engines out there... what would happen if I managed to put two (or even three!) template-centers over such a monstrosity? |

I think he's talking about WEs that have such a large ground shadow that you can fit two center holes within the shadow (i.e. the ground shadow is slightly bigger than one template). I think Neal answered that question when he said ...there's no bonus for hitting any model with multiple templates. I think you still get just a number of attacks equal to half the damage capacity. |

Agreed, assuming one of the templates is centered over the WE. |
