Warp Lightning Cannon follows the same rules as a firing a cannon with the following exceptions.... Reading the BRB with cannons, only one model per rank can be hit. The Warp Lightning Cannon "following exceptions" says all models touched by the template or in the path of the warp lightning from where it hits the ground to where it explodes suffer a hit at the strength rolled.
Okay, I'm sure this is stupid. I've played Skaven for a very long time at this point, but sometimes I get my cannoneering all f*ckered up and I need to be reminded if I'm wrong. Side by side comparison, the template of say a cannon from my Dwarf army, shoots a block of like 20 dudes. 5x4 we'll say. the shot goes from front to back, hitting all 5 ranks. Normal cannon would be 5 models hit. Conversely, if the WLC fires, same thing situation, except the Line Template hits... lets just say 7 models somehow from the angle or whatever. All 7 models would be hit according to the "exception" listed in the AB.
Right or wrong?

Unless specifically stated otherwise, normal rules apply. Models under the template are all hit, but only one model per rank struck in the path but not under the template can be hit.
Note also Skaven Official Update Version 1.7, p.8:
Q: If a shot from a Warp Lightning Cannon does not kill a Monstrous Infantry/Beast/Cavalry or Monster model does that shot stop? (p68) A: No. All models are still hit.
There is no limit to the wants of Skaven.

Wrong. The only difference between the models hit by a regular cannon and the WLC is the extra models hit by the small round template at the end.

So one per rank like any other cannon, until the lollipop at the end.

saniles: Well, except for this FAQ, the shot would have stopped. As such, it is a typical Skaven FAQ, refreshing the parts other AB FAQ cannot reach....
