Nurgle rules confusion

[mudwump]

If I take a StD Daemon Prince in my MoN army, will they benefit from the Nurgle Daemon buffs? Specifically ones that reference NURGLE DAEMON


For comparison, a great unclean one has the [Daemon] and [Nurgle] keywords. There is no combined [Nurgle Daemon] keyword.

A coalition DP will have the [Daemon] keyword, and they will gain the [Nurgle] keyword through the Mark of Chaos by being chosen for a MoN army.



Here are the concerned rules:

- 2 in every 4 units in the army can be a coalition unit from the Slaves to Darkness faction that has the Mark of Chaos keyword. Those units must be given the Nurgle Mark of Chaos keyword. (I bolded the words as they were bolded in the errata, leaving me to believe there is no [Nurgle Mark of Chaos] keyword.)

A Stabbing We Will Go!: Add 1 to wound rolls for attacks made by friendly NURGLE DAEMON units wholly within 14" of any friendly SLOPPITY BILEPIPERS playing this tune.


How does this look to everyone? I asked on reddit and facebook and got mixed answers. Is it a feels-bad move to try to argue this? I really like the ward disable Heroic Action on the DP's warscroll since MoN relies on mortals for most of their damage. Would also be nice if the DP could benefit from the sloppity bilepiper.

I can only speak from a 40k perspective which has similar rules, and yes it would benefit because it has the Nurgle and Daemon keywords.

They should synergize just fine.

Coalition units are ignored when determining if the units in the army are from a single faction. Coalition units cannot be generals.

Coalition units are not allied units, so the limitations that apply to allied units do not apply to them. This means that coalition units can be given one of your army’s enhancements, as long as they have the correct keywords or are of the correct unit type needed to receive it.
