The rules clearly state that the codex rule overrides the rulebook. So how do the barbed strangler really work? Fire off against BS and doesnt happen anything if you miss? Or do you roll 2d6-BS?

I think it was an oversight that they probably are now ok with. It is not gamebreaking or anything.

Where's the conflict in this case?

I'm looking at the codex and I don't see anything in there that has the Barbed Strangler conflicting with the new blast rules.

Like all blast weapons you roll a scatter die and if you miss it scatters 2D6-BS.
