The description states "The unit’s “normal” ranged attacks gain 12” to their maximum range."


I'm wondering if this can be applied to something like Ogre Blunderbusses, which I read as having a "normal" attack of 12" Breath Attack 5/model? - bumping it to a 24" Breath Attack?

Am I correct here? Or are Blunderbusse/Breath Attacks not considered a "normal" attack, since they're an option for the Heavy Crossbows.

No you can't. Breath weapon attacks aren't considered 'normal' ranged attacks as they are conferred by a special rule (Breath Attack), not a standard ranged weapon. This is stated at the bottom of pg 44 in the full KoW rulebook just before the list of magic artefacts begins.

Yeah, Breath Attack is a special rule. "Normal" means straight up normal ranged weapons using the normal ranged weapons rules.
