Hive Tyrants have four powers in their codex listing and they pick two powers to use in battle. Does this mean I can trade in all four powers from the codex listing, generate four new powers from available 6th disciplines, then select two powers from the four powers I generated?

the way I read the FAQ it is all or nothing, You keep all the codex powers or you swap them all for rule book powers

He's asking if you can roll for four then pick the two that you want. The answer to that would be no

I was asking if i generate all four powers and then choose two powers from the four powers I generated

or

Do I choose two powers from the codex, trade them in and generate two new powers?

Any supporting documentation I can read up on?

Just page 418 on how psychic discipline powers are assigned. There is nothing that lets you "delay" other than getting the same power twice or choosing the primaris instead. In other words, once you roll and get results, those are the psychic powers you have. This is done /after/ list building and not as part of it, unlike your previous selection.

You generate 2 new powers.

Or keep 2 from the codex.

For every psychic power you have, or purchase, you generate one fromt he lists. All or nothing - you swap for all BRB powers or you stay with your own.
