Tyranid prime synaptic link tesla hits question

[wormlord666]

If my hormagaunts get the tyranid prime link with autowound on sixes and then also the exploding sixes strat. Does the extra hits resulting from sixes a) count as just ordinary hits or b) ”sixes” and thereby autowounds?

Since I play admech aswell, this matter has come up with my vanguards and the buff that gives exploding sixes. I have always played it like answer a, because it seems fair, but is there a ruling?

Scoring Additional Hits
When a model makes an attack, some rules will let that attack score one or more additional hits on a particular hit roll (e.g. ‘each time an attack is made with this weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit’). If the attacking model is also benefiting from any other rules that trigger on a particular hit roll (e.g. ‘each time an attack is made with this weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target’), then only the original attack benefits from those rules. If any additional hits are scored as the result of a particular hit roll, those additional hits are not considered to have been made with any hit roll – they simply hit the target and you must continue the attack sequence for them (i.e. make a wound roll).
