If a weapon with lethal hits and devastating wounds rolls a six to hit, is it a mortal wound?

**JNAProductions**

No.
A Lethal Hit is a wound, but unless specifically stated otherwise, it’s a wound with no die value.

**alextroy**

Exactly. A Lethal Hit automatically Wounds. It does not generate a Critical Wound, which is what his necessary to trigger Devastating Wounds.

Critical on lethal hits auto wounds.

You dont get to roll.

A critical wound roll causes a devastating wound. So no Lethal hits cannot cause Devastating because you don't roll wound.

is there anything that actually has both or is that just a what if?

A Spiritseer joining Wraithguard would grant them Lethal Hits and they have Dev. wounds on their wraithcannon.

**tneva82**

Marines can also do that one. Sternguard and Lieutenant.

Thousand sons can also end up with that combo
