Swarming Masses Strat & Tervigon

[Corbulo]

Hey guys,

Quick question. If you have a unit of Termagants next to a Tervigon and you play the Swarming Masses strat. You obviously get Sustained Hits on 5+, but would you also get Lethal Hits on 5+. If you check the wording of the strat, it says that you get critical hits on 5+.

Just wondering.

Thanks!

Since your critical hits become 5+, anything that triggers off a critical hit will do so on 5’s and 6’s. This includes the Lethal Hits provided by the Tervigon’s aura.

Nice, that's what I thought. I re-read the strat twice just to make sure I could. I played vs sisters on Friday with a Unending Swarm list. I don't have much anti-tank in the list and getting lethals on 5s with Devourer gaunts helped take out his flame tank!
