It was in a battle report, but in an ickle box-out all of it's own, not
just mentioned in passing. I quote:
"ARTILLERY AND BLAST MARKERS
BM's affect Artillery in the same way that they affect SHW's.
Barrage Weapons are still SHW's, even if they are artillery. This means
that artillery lose a shot for each BM on the det, not just a point of
FP from the total- so a few BM's are going to cut down your artillery's
effectiveness very quickly."
