As the title says. Say I wanted to make a Warpriest of Apsu. Now, in the advance class guide playtest, only the core deities are listed under the blessings as offering them. Does this mean that a warpriest of a non-core deity(Like Apsu) would be forced to play with no blessings? Or would they just have access to the blessings offered by the core deities with similar portfolio elements or domains? (So would say a Warpriest of Apsu be able to choose the good, law, artifice and/or travel blessing since Apsu offers the good, law, artifice and travel domains?) Or is making a warpriest of a non-core deity, such as Apsu, not PFS legal period?
If anybody could clear this up I'd be grateful!

Each warpriest can select two blessings from among those granted by his deity (each deity grants the blessings tied to its domains).
A warpriest can select any two blessings granted by his deity. Deities grant blessings of the same name as the domains they grant. A warpriest without a deity may select any two blessings (subject to GM approval). If a blessing’s power duplicates a spell effect, the warpriest’s caster level for that power is equal to his warpriest level.
Blessings that affect weapons and armor benefit anyone who wields or wears those items, not just the warpriest.
(emphases mine)

Core Rulebook Page 39:
> While the vast majority of clerics revere a specific deity, a small number dedicate themselves to a divine concept worthy of devotion—such as battle, death, justice, or knowledge—free of a deific abstraction. (Work with your GM if you prefer this path to selecting a specific deity.)
I would assume the same applies to Warpriests as well. As always, double-check with your local GM and VC.
I believe that the PFS requirement that clerics worship deities would apply. I'd certainly rule that way.
As to the original question, I would agree with redward but wouldn't be amazed to see GM variation (I don't think there SHOULD be, mind). It would probably be a little bit safer to go with the core deities if you know that you have a GM that tends to rule very strictly on RAW

What others have said.
Luckily for you there are Blessings that match Apsu's Domains, so (hopefully) you won't have a problem.
You're not likely to get a response from the higher-ups with Con season in full swing, and the ACG being released in just a couple months. They're leery to make PFS-specific rulings on playtest material, for the most part, since things are likely to change or get clarified anyways.
I'd be surprised if further expansions on the warpriest didn't include blessings for any domains that aren't in the released book.
