Helm of Warp Sight
Knight Rampager, Knight Desecrator, or Knight Despoiler model only. When resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon by a model with this relic, ignore hit roll modifiers.

Our 40k channel was in a pretty heated discussion as to whether this applies to only 1 gun on the knight, or when it fires all guns. It hinged on how you interpret 'a ranged weapon'.

What is your take, Dakka?

It's all weapons and all attacks, it's just GW being dumb on the wording (see the SM FAQ for details).

It is clearly all ranged weapons on the model.

Q. A lot of rules apply an effect when resolving an attack,
rather than attacks. Does this mean the ability only applies for
one single attack? For example, the Masterful Marksmanship
Stratagem states ‘Until the end of the phase, when resolving
an attack made with a special issue boltgun by a model in that
unit, add 1 to the wound roll.’
A: The attack sequence in the core rules is based on
attacks being made one at a time. Therefore the wording
of these abilities matches how attacks are resolved in
the core rules. The ability would still apply to other
attacks made by that unit, so long as it satisfied the
requirements laid out in the rule. In the above example,
the ability would apply for each attack you make with a
special issue boltgun by a model in that unit until the
end of the phase.

Are you referring to this BCB?

Yes, I am

Not applying it to any ranged attack the model makes goes against the RAW of the relic.

The rule triggers every time you resolve an attack with a ranged weapon, bearing in mind that the rules are written with the assumption that attacks are made one at a time.

If it only worked on one weapon then it would tell you to pick one. I see no reason to think that it is not intended to affect all weapons.

Also, in lore terms, the helm enhances the user's vision, making it easier to pick out targets. It makes sense that this would benefit all of his ranged attacks.

Note that the Infernal Daemonic Surge only applies to one nominated weapon, but the Helm is indeed for all attacks.
