Is there a SM strat that gives +1MW on wound rolls of 6? Or something similar?

SM in general only get extra hits or auto-wounds on rolls of six. The only exception is the ravenwing warlord trait, but it's melee only.

If any unit does do mortal wounds on sixes, it's on the datasheet itself.

Edit: Ah, and there is a salamanders stratagem for flamers and meltas.

I wouldn't go chasing mortal wounds, it's nice when they happen but you're better off getting consistent damage through your opponents armour.

Statistics will say you should get a certain number of 6's but the dice goes are fickle and on occasion spiteful.

Not sure what Ravenwing warlord trait you're referring to.

Thanks for the non-sequitur on how to play & statistics that doesn't address the question asked.

Ravenguard WT Master of Vigilance causes 1 MW on an unmodified 6 to hit in melee.

indeed for all we know the guy was asking because he played a space marine guy who tried to claim "I have a WT trait and lets me inflict mortal wounds on..."

Maybe the guy that was asking could clear that up?
