Daemon faq phychic powers on Death Guard

[Treeman]

I am a bit confused with keywords following the latest Daemons faq. I want to be able to heal wounds on my lovely Mortarion model by having a nurgle daemon patrol detachment in my Death Guard army, including a poxcaster with the healing spell fleshy abundance. Would that spell still be able to heal d3 wounds on Mortarion?

The units didn't lose the Daemon keyword, it just moved from being a faction keyword to being a regular keyword.

So everything that targets units with Daemon keyword directly still works on them but everything that requires the unit to be from the Daemon faction (aka part of Codex: Daemons) doesn't work on them.

 

That means, yes, you can still heal Mortarion with Fleshy Abundance.

GW really should errata all the Daemon Datasheets and name those two keywords differently since they really aren't the same anymore...

Easy change

 

Faction = daemons

Key word = daemonic

Nobody said it's hard to change.

Tho I'd take something else to make the difference better noteable. Faction keyword = Daemon, regular keyword = Neverborn.
