Multiple Ancients effecting the same unit?

I've got a question regarding the Astartes Banner special rule, found on various space marine Ancients. Does the attempt to shoot or fight on death occur for each banner a model is under?

The wording on Astartes Banner reads "roll a D6 each time a Infantry model is destroyed within 6" of friend Ancients, before removing the model as a casualty"

I'm not seeing anywhere that would prohibit say, two Ultramarines Ancients being right next to an Ultramarines Tactical squad, and each time a model died, you would roll two 2d6 for the model. I suppose this would also fall under buffs of the same name stacking, and I can't seem to find ruling on that.

Thanks.

Don't have the rules in front of me, but if your wording is accurate it answers itself.

Ancient is a single model unit. The unit is not called Ancients, rather Ancient.

"roll a D6 each time a Infantry model is destroyed within 6" of friend Ancients, before removing the model as a casualty"

Notice here it says Ancients which is plural. So if the infantry model is within range of one or more Ancient, they get their "bonus" attack.

Makes sense to me. Had a feeling it wouldn't work the way I proposed, given it'd be hilariously broken. 4 dead Bolter bro's in rapid fire range "could" fire off 32 shots as they die, when in range of 4 banners, and you spike on rolls.

I would be a lot easier to parse out if it was copied correctly. When dealing with exact wordings typos certainly don't help find a solution.

Or in this case leaving out important verbiage: "within 6" of any friendly Ancients".

Any freindly dudes: that is 1 ot 1000, doesn't matter, you get 1 attempt to shoot.
