What are the different weapons that fall under the 'old mortar rule'? Not second edition where you guesed the distance, but what ever is left in 9th edition that ignores line of sight. Also, exluding legacy units.

So far I can think of:
Tyranid: Impaler cannon (S8, R36.)
GSC: Mortar (S4, R48.) Heavy Mortar (S5, R36.) Sesmic Drill (Not mortar, but does not need los.)
IG: Mortar (S4, R48.) Wyvern (S4 R48.) Basilisk cannon?
SM: Whirlwind?
DG: Mortar tanks?
Eldar: Shadow Weaver? D cannon weapon platform? Wibro cannon (Not mortar, but does not need los.)

Any other? Or coreections on the wrong S or R?

I just want to round them all up so I know what is out there.

Ad Mech has the Skorpius Disintegrator with Belleros cannon that ignores LOS, if that’s helps.

IG also has:
Master of ordnance (S8, R100)
Deathstrike (mortal wounds, R240)
Manticore (S10, R120)

And from Forge World
Heavy Mortar battery/Griffon (S6, R48)
Heavy Quad Launcher (S5, R48)
Medusa battery (S10, R36)
Minotaur/Earthshaker Battery/Eartshaker Carriage (S9, R240)
Dominus Bombard (S10, R36-60)
Death Korps Mole Launcher (S5, R24)

I'm not sure if all FW models made it, but the mole launcher and Heavy Mortar definitly did get points.

The vibro cannon doesn't have non line of sight shooting.
But you can add night spinners and dark reaper tempest launchers to the craftworlds list.

Tyranids:
- biovores don't need los

Eldar:
- dark reaper exarchs can take a no-los gun
- doesn't really count, but if a fire prism can target a unit then any other fire prisms don't need los to target it if using the linked fire strat

Orks: Lobbas, probably Bubblechukkas though nobody's ever used that weapon in the history of its existence so I don't remember exactly. Various forgeworld things like the Grot Launcha.

GSC: Mortar, and the hilariously bad Heavy Mortar on the achilles.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"
