====Support Aces==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> These can be given to any {{W40Kkeyword|Vehicle}} unit with the {{W40Kkeyword|Basilisk}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Hydra}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Manticore}}, {{W40Kkeyword|Wyvern}}, or {{W40Kkeyword|Deathstrike}} keywords. Besides those very units, that means it also applies to the Armageddon Pattern Basilisk, but not the Battery variants. <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> *'''Full Payload:''' Always deal maximum damage on D3/D6 damage ranged weapons. The only D6 damage weapon any of these tanks can take is a hunter-killer missile; otherwise, this is completely worthless on everything but the Basilisk and Manticore, as the Deathstrike, Wyvern, and Hydra all eschew damage rolls altogether. *'''Shatterer of Will:''' -2LD for any unit hit by this ace's ranged weapons. This stacks with other debuffs, but not with itself (so you can't hit a unit twice using the Emperor's Wrath Artillery stratagem and give them -4). Worth a look if you're already stacking these debuffs and were planning on taking artillery anyway, but you probably won't do enough damage with just the artillery to even force a leadership test in the first place (unless you're shooting a Wyvern into blobs of Cultists and Conscripts). Even then, immunity or near-immunity to morale checks is so abundant, this is probably not worth your time. *'''Well Stocked Magazines:''' Re-roll any or all of the dice for the number of shots for weapons that roll. Might be fun on a Deathstrike. Not competitive (only because the Deathstrike can't be guaranteed to shoot over the course of a game), but fun. Worthless on a Hydra, and pretty worthwhile on a Wyvern, but pretty redundant on Basilisks (especially {{W40Kkeyword|Catachan}} ones). **The effect on a Wyvern is particularly great; the average number of shots a Wyvern fires is 14 base, 15.79 for Catachan, and 17 with this. </div></div>
