Possibly a silly question but I can't see it in the rulebook. If I have an artillery company consisting of mixed units, basilisks and manticores, how are the manticores disrupt blast markers assigned in the case of an indirect barrage? They combine BPs to fire one large barrage right?

They don't apply to hits from all three templates do they?

A mixed barrage does not have the Disrupt ability at all.

Barrage only gets special effects (eg Disrupt or Macro) if all weapons contributing barrage points have that effect (compendium, FAQ 50, 2.2.2 Disrupt, p35)

I suspected as much - thanks for the quick response and reference.

Everything is good in moderation jimmy. Just look at the 8 Basilisk 1 Manticore company. A fine example of min-maxing.

Explain to me what's so great about that set up? Pushing you into the next barrage bracket and keeping the extra marker if you fire direct right?

Remember Basilisks also have an alternate fire mode where they fire directly AT4+/AP4+, so that's always another option for a mixed formation of them and Manticores.
