I've seen this mentioned (perhaps incorrectly?) on the site and other places, but do Daemon Princes gain Legion Traits when in a battle forged army?

For example, World Eaters gain +1 Attack in the fight phase when making a successful charge. But, I believe, this only applies to Infantry, Bikes, and Helbrutes. Am I right to assume that Daemon Princes do not gain legion bonus because they are none of these things (Monster instead)? Similarly, Maulerfiends(Daemon Engine), Chaos Spawn (Beast), and Chaos Lord on Juggernaut (Cavalry) would not either?


Thanks in advance!

Changed in the CSM errata. Links in the sticky by Ghaz

From the FAQ:

Page 157 – Abilities, Legion Traits
Change the first sentence of rules text to read:
‘If your army is Battle-forged, all Daemon Prince,
Infantry, Bikers and Helbrute units in Chaos Space
Marine Detachments gain a Legion Trait, so long as
every unit in that Detachment is from the same Legion.’

Thank you!!! Read the FAQ and still missed it. My apologies!
