Thinking about to get an STD (sorry.... I had to say it)... army for a new project.
Working around an all cavalry list and i got a question to more expert allegiance players:

If I take a Mark of the all-favoured artefact for my general (or any hero) he can trigger the allegiance battle trait to units with all the different marks?
So I can have some khorne units, some tzeentch ones, and as long as they are in range they get the bonus from the same hero?

The allegiance bonus is for same marked units.
So your STD khorne units benefit from STD khorne marked heroes, your STD tzeentch units from STD tzeentch heroes etc.
But you can have a STD tzeentch hero boosting your STD tzeentch units and a STD khorne hero boosting your STD Tzeentch units.

But with the Mark of the all-favoured artefact (GHB20018) I can give to the hero all the gods keywords at the same time.

"Thebearer hasthe KHORNE,NURGLE, SLAANESHand TZEENTCHkeywords." (pg.127)

So if I understand correctly he benefits units of any mark.
Or there is an interpretation that says that having the keyword is not the same thing to be marked?

In that case they would get the bonus from the same hero. But the khorne units would only get the khorne bonus, the nurgle units only the nurgle bonus etc.

Good to have confirmation, thanks
