Current/viable rules

[beetlejuice]

My friend wants to know if he can use rules from things like psychic awakening for armies that have gotten a 9th codex? I can swear I’ve read somewhere that these are made obsolete when 9th codex drop (ie blood angels can’t use blood of Baal anymore but nids can, war of the spider for DG etc) but I just can’t find the actual paragraph to reference. Can’t even remember if it’s explicitly stated in every new codex release or a blanket statement in core rules or FAQs.

This mostly refers to things that are in psychic awakening but not in the codexes, kinda like index options in 8th were still allowed even if missing from the later released codex

It is in the battle forged section. You can't take any specialist detachments.

Broodsurge/Augur of the Insurgent etc.

[No One]

You're missing the wrong thing.

DESIGNER’S NOTES
The rules content in Codex: Space Marines replaces the Adeptus
Astartes content found on pages 32-39 of Psychic Awakening:
Faith and Fury. As such, the rules for Chapter Litanies and
Masters of the Chapter can no longer be used. Note that the Black
Templars rules found in Psychic Awakening: Faith and Fury are
likewise replaced by the rules found in the Index Astartes: Black
Templars document.

(Technically speaking there's nothing like this for DG etc, but...)

Your thinking Vigilus rules. Vigilus rules are a no go. All psychic awakening are fine unless specifically excluded like the Faith and Fury book. As new books get rolled out it will likely abrogate the old rules.
