War Hymns: Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of models in ADEPTUS MINISTORUM INFANTRY and ASTRA MILITARUM INFANTRY units whilst their unit is within 6" of any friendly models with this ability.

Would this stack or not?

No, AFAIK auras don't stack unless specifically said that they do.

It doesn't stack because the rule says "any", not "each".

Furthermore,

A: Unless stated otherwise, no. The bonus for such an ability applies once if any (i.e. one or more) of these models are within range.

They do not. HOWEVER they DO stack with Taddeus the Purifier, since he has a different named ability and the rule is different as well.

Taddeus has the MINISTORUM PRIEST keyword so he gives an aura of +1, but allows missionaries to use their War Hymns ability and Taddeus' War Hymn ability for a total of +2.

Forgive the necro, but is this still true?

It was never true. All the MINISTORuM PRIEST models have War Hymn, so it does not stack.

Taddeus specifically.

Taddeus the Purifier has an ability called "War Hymn" worded slightly differently than the Preacher who has the ability "War Hymns" (with an s).

The question has been answered and in the future don't revive the dead please.

Locking for thread necromancy.
