Morgaunt command ability rules clarification

[M4ttman]

Hey, so the rules of the morgaunt command ability states: "On a 4+ a new unit identical to the one that was destroyed is added to your army."(pg 62 of the fec battletome).

Does "identical" also mean that the unit is morgaunt? In other parts of the battletome, when you summon a unit, they don't have a grand court (ex: ghoul king summoning 10 ghouls).

The core rules FAQ is where this is covered; summoned units gain the same faction keywords as the army. So when a ghoul king summons a unit they DO have a grant court keyword if your army has one.

Great, good to know. But does the morgaunt ghoul unit keep the keyword? They aren't being summoned.

The new unit is "identical" to the one destroyed.

It has the same size, the same equipment and most likely the same keywords (otherwise the unit wouldn't be identical to the old one).

The answer is yes, they are Morgaunt. As above - they are identical to the one destroyed.

Yes--the idea is that any time a unit is being put onto the board as part of your army it will gain the same sub-faction keyword. During list creation the choice was made for your army to be Morgaunt, thereby everything that is part of your army will have that keyword (unless they already have a different court keyword). Regardless of when or how that unit is put on the battlefield.
