So, basically, I'm playing with a mod that gives units buffs based on kills, but when it comes to Swarm Hosts and Brood Lords this gets a bit tricky since the units themselves aren't the ones getting the kills/doing the killing.
I've found solutions on how to transfer buffs from the Swarm Host to the locusts, but I'm not sure how to go the other way. In other words, I need the swarm host itself to be buffed when locusts kill something, and then the locusts to be buffed when a buffed swarm host creates them.
You could try adding the kills of the locusts to the Swarm Host and buff him based on his own kills, I don't know if that is even possible (should be) but it may be worth a try.

Get their train ability to apply the buff behaviour of the broodlord kills to caster on the swarm hosts?
With the broodlords you need to use the effect field of the Create Unit effect.
