Subject: Nurgle Daemons

Ork Admiral Kroozin Da Kosmos on Da Hulk
|
When a rule asks for a Nurgle Daemon (bold capslock font), does it ask for a model/unit with the faction Daemon or the keyword Daemon? Most daemon engines have a Daemon keyword, while only real daemons have the Daemon faction.
Or more specific: Do Deathguard Daemons (bloat drones, PBC, etc) benefit from a Herald of Nurgle, TGUO or Epidemius? Can a Deathguard characters summon a Mauler-Fiend with the Mark of Nurgle?
The intention seems to be "Hell no", but I failed to find a FAQ in that regard.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

It has been covered in a FAQ, faction keywords are only different during army creation. In game a keyword is a keyword, a NURGLE DAEMON benefits from any ability that it meets the requirements for, regardless of source.

The Bold Capslock font ALWAYS indicated a keyword. If it asks for a NURGLE DAEMON, then the model must have both keywords. Faction keywords only matter when making a battleforged army, otherwise they are just normal keywords.

(Mauler fiends don't have the rule allowing them to be summoned)
