two questions about artillery:

1)if i have a mix formation with basilisc and manticore,how can i know what hittes are disrupt and what are normal?

2)when i use BP attack on warengine, if i can place two templets on the warengine does it receive more hits? (placing two templets on a manta)

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).

Thanks Ginger, that's what I thought ...

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.

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