The Question of Space Marines summoning Daemons may have been finally answered. Come see!

Games Workshop and or Black Library seemed to confuse a lot of players when they dropped the digital version of the Space Marine and Dark Angels Codex books that had some differences from the paper ones.

The biggest difference of course was that the digital versions seemed to hint that you could only use Daemonolgy: Santic powers, and the paper versions just gave the notation ‘Daemonology’.

The Question
The new paper space marine codex allows them to cast daemonic powers but in the digital codex is says only santic powers, not all. Please let me know which has the typo/omission. Thank you for your time.

The Answer

The paper version is indeed correct. there will be an update for the E-codicies that will cover this off in the future. Good spot, I have passed this back to the digital team.Black Library Customer Services
