Today I was rereading and I wasn't sure about something. Can a squadron of warlocks be separate from a farseer? I ran two squads of 5 warlocks on bikes that followed a faseer with DA in a WS. Is that legal? My support for it was that it never says the warlocks are a retinue for the Farseer or that the Farseer loses his independent character rule. I'd like to hear your interpretations or knowledge on this subject.

To answer your questions:
Q: Can a squad of warlocks be separated from a farseer?
Yes. The warlock squad forms its own unit separate from the farseer.

Q: I ran two squads of 5 warlocks on bikes that followed a faseer with DA in a WS. Is that legal?
No. For you to have 2 squads of warlocks you need 2 farseers (1 unit of warlocks per farseer).


To surmise:
-1 unit of warlocks to 1 farseer
-Warlock squads are a separate unit to the farseer, which he may join.


Hope that helps

Squadron?

But yes, warlocks aren't a retinue. It is legal to have 2 squads of warlocks following blah blah blah, but you would need 2 farseers to purchase those warlock squads.

Sorry, I should have explained I had two separate farseers.

yes, squadron, they were on jetbikes.



Thank you for the information. To note though, the warlocks are kinda bad when not fortuned.

Fair enough.
