Tried playing a Skull Altar tonight. Was surprised to learn it lacks the Daemonic Ritual keyword.

The rules for the model state, under Monument to Slaughter, "If a Skull Altar is summoned using a Daemonic Ritual and set up with it's base..."

This makes me think it was intended to be summoned, but I can't find any rule that says it can. Am I missing something, or does the lack of Daemonic Ritual mean it can't be summoned?

GW obviously screwed up by forgetting to add daemonic ritual to the altar.

By RAW, no summoning it.

If you're going to a tournament, ask the TO to houserule fix it. If you're playing a friendly game, just have a quick word with your opponent about fixing it.

Yes, it's another example of GW being incompetent. You cannot summon the Skull Altar.

Fixed in the faq. Woop woop
