According to the IA: Forces of the Astra Militarum, Plague Ogyrn deal mortal wounds to anything without the "Nurgle" keyword when they die. Do they deal wounds to units with the "Covenant of Nurgle" keyword? I assume they would but I thought I would check anyways.

"COVENANT OF NURGLE" isn't "NURGLE". It's that simple really.

I assumed as much, but it never hurts to ask.

Renegades and Heretics is so poorly conceived.

I would assume this was an error on the mistake of the authors and allow your units to ignore damage as RAI.

R&H are not poorly conceived, they're poorly executed.

That said, I personally think it makes perfect sense that cannon-fodder cultists and other low-level wretches are not "Marked" by their God and do not possess <NURGLE> or what-have-you.
