Had a match vs a buddy of mine on the weekend, and Huron showed up.
I know the CSM FAQ says that all psykers have access to Daemonology disciplines when generating powers:

Any unit with the Psyker special rule may generate powers from the Daemonology discipline in addition to the others listed in their Army List Entries

So how does this interact with Huron's "The Hamadrya" rule?

Hamadraya says roll d3 on the table of Biomancy/Pyromancy/Diviniation

My opponent suggested that it should be 1-5 now including malefic and sanctic, while I felt that the specific Hamadrya rule was the way to go.

Thoughts?

This isn't generating psychic powers. This is a special rule which neither the BRB or FAQ give permission to add demonology to said special rule

Unfortunately for your opponent, "the Hamdrya" is a piece of wargear that confer's random psychic powers to the user based on a specific chart.

Until they add an errata that modifies the chart, you have no chance to roll any other powers than you see on it.


The blanket rule about generating powers only works if the model does not have set powers already detailed in its entry.

What about Psychic Mastery?

Does Huron now get the primaris of whichever psychic discipline he rolls, since he's a Mastery Level 1 Psyker and has his only power rolled from that chart?

As for the original question, found the source of the thought;
Quoted from 1d4Chan: "Due to the 40k 7th edition psychic rules, Huron gets Psychic Focus (one random power plus Primaris Power) when he rolls just one random psychic power (since being psychic mastery lvl 1) from Biomancy, Divination or Pyromancy. But then, the manifesting powers last only for that one turn... According to FAQ May 14th, ALL Psykers may roll powers from Daemonology, thus including Huron too."

The FAQ mearly grants permission for psychers who generate powers at the start of the game to also access the Daemonology powers. It does not grant blanket permission for all psychers to be able to roll on them.

If the psycher you are fielding knows a specific set of powers, or is only allowed to roll on specific power charts in his unit entry, then thats it, he doesnt get to do anything else.

Huron is only given permission to generate 1 random power from 1 of 3 power charts due to a piece of wargear (daemon dragon pet) that he posses's. Thats it. He cannot roll on any other chart other than the ones detailed in his unit entry.

Sadly no, same goes for Weavers two heads of fate rule, if a psyker/character/unit has special rules that explicitly detail how to roll i.e. Weaver (but not horrors) they must roll on the chart(s)
