hey all. wasn't sure where to post this so... this may be in the wrong place... anyway
with the new rule being that you get to take the primaris power in additon to all your other powers you took if you rolled them off the same table. does this apply to codex psychic powers? I know it says it works for the chaos codex's but what about other powers from the eldar or tyranids?

YMDC is the right forum. As for the question, the rule only states that "If a Psyker generates all of his psychic powers from the same psychic discipline" then he'll get the primaris too.

There is no mention of this excluding the powers in the codex. So yes, this applies for you too if you are a psyker and you have your own disciplines with a primaris.

The reason why Chaos is mentioned specifically is because theirs works a little differently. they get the Primaris for being aligned to a certain god, not for picking from one discipline.

And the reason Chaos are different is that their rule requires them to take a God power, but no more than half, meaning they would never get a free Primaris otherwise.

Chaos Space Marines are required to roll at least 1 power & up to half on their respective God's lore.

Chaos Daemons on the other hand may choose to roll up to half their powers on their respective God's lore. However, we can still dump all our rolls into one of the other optional tables if we so choose!

Had someone play a chaos space marines deamon factory army, unbound.
All it was was 10 sorcerer's and 2 deamon princes of tzeech, sorcerers didn't have marks.
