Quick question. Eldar Wraithblades' axes have -1 to their hit roll. The Eldar stratagem Supreme Disdain gives extra attack rolls on a 6+ to hit (rather than 'an unmodified roll of a 6'). My reading at first glance was that a roll of 6 would be modified to a 5, and Supreme Disdain would never be triggered (similar to +1 to hit triggering it on 5s and 6s). The rules for hit rolls do mention that 6s always succeed, but I don't know if that's directly relevant. I just want to check if that's accurate, or if I'm leaving power on the table.

Your reading is correct.

The Eldar codex is older and still has that sort of wording. Once the codex is replaced it will likely fix the issue,
